Georgia DA Fani Willis is confident as her Trump probe takes shape

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is taking an unusually aggressive, hands-on approach to her office’s investigation into Donald Trump, personally selecting members of a special grand jury and sitting in on questioning while preparing to wage legal war against all-but-certain challenges from the former president and recalcitrant witnesses.

“I feel great about it actually,” Willis told Yahoo News when asked about the selection of a special grand jury that began hearing testimony last week. “So I’m a trial lawyer. And so often, my trial strategy is always pick a diverse jury. I don’t want all Black people. I don’t want all white people. I don’t want all young people.

“If you put that mix of people on there, they’ll keep each other honest,” she added. “This [grand] jury looks like the diversity of my county. And so that’s already a good, smart start. … It’s an inquisitive group. It’s a group that takes the responsibility seriously, and I think Fulton County is in good hands.”

Willis spoke freely in her office for over an hour last Friday, the day after Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger spent five hours testifying before the grand jury and just days before the U.S. House’s Jan. 6 committee begins televised primetime hearings that are expected to once again put Trump’s post-election conduct in the national spotlight.

Long article but well worth the read. I find DA Willis to be a straight talking, hard working, no non-sense ass kicker and I feel this prosecution is in good hands.
