Fani for Vice President!
...or Broncos quarterback?
The sun is setting on Fani’s career as a lawyer, and she’ll be seeking other career opportunities.
First, let’s recap why her law career is ending.
Fani’s case against Donald Trump includes a preposterous RICO charge for violating the racketeering laws. Fani has no expertise in that arcane law, so she hired her boyfriend and paid him three-quarters of a million taxpayer dollars for his expertise. Never mind that he, too, has no such expertise, having never tried a RICO case.
The scheme worked well for Fani and the boyfriend, for a while. The boyfriend took Fani on expensive vacations to exotic places, paid for by the taxpayer money he received from Fani’s office. Fani says she always paid him back for her half, but the payback was in untraceable cash that she kept around the house. There’s no bank record of her withdrawing that cash, and no bank record of him depositing that cash.
To casual observers, and, more importantly, to the judge, this all looked a little crafty and grafty.
So, Fani submitted a sworn affidavit to the court and then testified for hours under oath concerning her hiring of the boyfriend. A key element of her testimony was that their affair began only after she hired him. She explained, in essence, that she did not hire her boyfriend; she merely boyfriended her hire. This distinction seemed to make a difference to her.
Her testimony was dripping with faux outrage that anyone would accuse her of any impropriety. She was not the one on trial, she shouted. It was Trump’s lawyer (not just Trump) who should be on trial as a “threat to democracy.” And a racist, of course.
The story she confected about the boyfriend was pretty implausible, and I predicted days ago that the judge would not buy it. He would disqualify her from the case.
For Fani, things since then have taken a sharp turn for the even worse.
In some admirable sleuthing, Trump’s lawyers got an expert to examine the phone records of the boyfriend. The records showed that the boyfriend spent the night at Fani’s house (or at least in the vicinity — the records cannot pinpoint the precise location) several times well before he was hired even though Fani swore that they didn’t get romantically involved until after she hired him.
Moreover, the phone records showed some 2,000 telephone calls and an amazing 12,000 text messages between the two over an 11-month period prior to the date she hired him.
Do the math. That’s an average of about six telephone calls a day. And an amazing 30 texts a day. Now I see how the boyfriend racked up huge billings to her office – 24 hours in a single day in one instance. This woman is very high maintenance.
It will be amusing to see the content of the 12,000 texts, which the phone company presumably has on file on a server somewhere.
Fani’s contention that she was not romantically involved with the boyfriend during that period is obviously a lie, and telling it under oath constitutes perjury. Maybe even a RICO violation!
A hearing is set for Friday, at which I’m sure the judge will announce Fani’s disqualification from the case. However, she’ll probably withdraw from the case this week prior to the hearing so that she doesn’t have to re-double-down with her perjury, in the hope that the judge will then vacate the hearing as moot.
But that won’t end the matter. An investigation is underway by the bar Ethics Committee. Lawyers lying to judges under oath is frowned upon. The Ethics Committee will likely slam her – perhaps into the slammer. She should certainly be disbarred, and could be prosecuted for perjury and serve jail time.
What will she do then?
Here’s an idea. She could get a job on The View! She could be the legal expert explaining how people who disagree with the liberal line are racist threats to democracy. I know, I know, the show already has half a dozen people to say that, but Fani says it with such aplomb.
Or she could tag-team with the Black lesbian White House Press Secretary. Both are clumsy but accomplished bald-faced liars.
How about a job with the circus?
Maybe she could co-write a book with OJ Simpson.
Or maybe a professional wrestling gig in a thong? Ugh, that’s an image I can’t unsee.
Quarterback for the Denver Broncos?
Vice President? President? I sincerely believe she would be better and smarter than the ones we currently have. And more honest and less corrupt.
Maybe she’ll just retire. Financial disclosures show she has a net worth of about $8 million – which she managed to accumulate on a government salary of around $110,000/year. Go figure.
You're right. Fani is going to make a bundle no matter what. CNN and MSNBC are probably already in touch. What a world, what a world......
I sincerely wish that I could be as sanguine about the outcome of all this foofaraw around Fani (pronounced, "Foney" with a long "o") as Glenn, but given recent history, I am rather more trepedatious than confident. Blacks have been immunized against criminal prosecution in many jurisdictions where they form a large part of the electorate, and Fani is no exception. She was elected because she was black, in Fulton County, GA, which is majority black. She was recognized by the members of the Biden cabal as a potential weapon with which to take down Trump, so was invited to meet with them, and in particular, with White House Counsel (basically the president's consigliere) prior to initiating the prosecution. She is much like the New York state AG, James, in that they both have unscrupulously twisted the law to bring charges against Trump for strictly political reasons, following Beria's Maxim. Under the rubric of "Anti-racism," anything a black person does is excused and justified as merely the result of or reaction to preceding white racism, so absolution is guaranteed. The fact that the judge in her case has a history of contributing to her political campaigns, although possibly just standard political quid pro quo, is troubling. The fact that he is white and is currently seeking election to higher judicial office in Georgia, which is disproportionally (33%) black overall, and was appointed to this case (why him, one wonders) all seem to presage another outcome similar to that of Comey against Clinton and Hur against Biden, viz., "Well, yes, Willis did some illegal/unethical things, but she meant no harm, and besides, she's such a nice person and Trump is such a baddie that we're gonna let her keep going after tut-tutting about it long enough to assuage our guilt and claim to have done our duty." Moreover, her removal and that of Wade is no guarantee that the prosecution will be dropped; it may (and likely will) continue after a delay and under another strictly political prosecutor who will take his or her directions from the same Biden cabal that fostered the prosecution under Willis. I hope I am wrong, but I fear I am right.
