'Where'd you get that kind of money girl?' 'Why would you have that much money in your pocket, boy?'

[bigtree]

...that's what I heard, what it sounded like to me, all throughout the inquisition in Fulton today, and it's way beyond infuriating.

I'm intimately familiar with this line of questioning.

Our neighbors must think we're fighting because of all of the yelling at our tv.

[The Magistrate]

1. Yu'p

[bdamomma]

2. I think

I will watch Joy Reid tonight, to get her report on this whole fiasco. Just more bullying and intimidation from that Criminal mob boss.

[Irish_Dem]

4. Yes and he had one of his made men go dig up dirt and collude with Wade's ex-wife.

[bdamomma]

10. Oh

geez, those things have nothing to do with Fani's case. Geez, that's the mob-slob trying to discredit her. He's a miserable POS and desperate.

Oh I'm getting tired of yelling at the TV.

[Irish_Dem]

17. I think these tactics are going to be the norm for the rest of the year.

The Hur report was part of it.

They are going to go hard and go dirty.

Yes they are very desperate.

[mcar]

3. You nailed it

These racist mostly men were shocked, shocked that Black people might have money - and that an uppity Black woman might choose to deal in cash.

This hearing would never have happened if a white male DA had a brief relationship with a female lawyer.

[DaBronx]

7. Agree

Full on racism. What a great model to all on how you defend yourself and call out the aholes. If you look up Don’t eff with me in the dictionary, there is a strong beautiful picture of Ms DA Fani Willis. And I’m glad she wore that lovely pink dress today. The power was on full display in color.

[True Blue American]

58. That blonde piece of work

Was rude, nasty. She made Fani look good.

[FarPoint]

5. As did I....

[Irish_Dem]

6. Maybe we should start having trials for members of congress.

Ask them about sex, drugs and cash.

[erronis]

32. Oh, yes. They have some fancy-pantsy ways to get out of these investigations.

Gymmee Jordan, Matts-her-bates Gaetz. Just stall and collect your paychecks from the US Treasury and others that do bring cash (rubles).

[Irish_Dem]

34. Yep. And Marge and Boebert.

Boebert didn't get those new store bought boobs for nothing.

The sex, drugs, cash is legend in Wash DC.
They all made fun of Obama because he was a "family man."
Which meant he didn't party with the rest of them.
He went home to Michelle and the kids every night.

Oh yes, the Russian money must be tremendous.
And flowing like water into the GOP caucus.
Along with their daily talking points from Putin.

[timms139]

45. I hope MTG

gets whacked by the IRS audit they have started about what the small business covid loans were spent for .

[Irish_Dem]

47. And prosecution for her part in J6 would also be nice.

[housecat]

35. Lol. As long as they'e televised so viewers can watch them and not get disinformation

from the media.

[Irish_Dem]

37. I seriously doubt we will ever get to see that.

The media is probably involved with them too.

[AllaN01Bear]

8. im not watching it as i dont do yt or have cable anymore . i have afib and dont want

to get too upset. so ,who is doing cross exam?

[LiberalFighter]

16. I watched and was calm.

I keep my words separate from my emotions.

[soldierant]

60. I'm sorry to hear

about the a-fib, but not sorrt to hear you are detached from cable and YT.

[2naSalit]

9. I could only watch...

A few minutes at a time. Triggering.

[bdamomma]

13. Yes

we all know what's going on, It's so infuriating to see this woman being dumped on. But after reading this posts Fani is doing well. I hope the Judge rules to stop this case.

[LiberalFighter]

19. I think the judge will have a difficult time disqualifying her.

He was telling the attorney nuts to move on a few times when they were asking the same questions.

[True Blue American]

59. Once, the Judge said

“ We have already covered that ground. Move along.” I did not hear her today.

[Hekate]

11. I saw what they were trying to do to her & had to walk away. They are vile enemies of truth & justice.

[LiberalFighter]

20. If you had continued watching I think you would have felt better.

I want to know who the jerks are too. As some indicated some were racists and/or misogynists.

[ms liberty]

12. I felt so insulted at the way she was treated. Wow.

Did they hit every racist trope or what? It was really sickening and infuriating. Remember this and vote for Democrats in November!

[bdamomma]

24. Just

like how they smeared Ruby and Shea.

[housecat]

33. She expected it to be just like this, and she was prepared for them.

She made them look like the magats they are

[underpants]

14. I have several A-A female coworkers - they keep every receipt

Gas
Lunch
Clothes
Everything.

They or someone they know has been accused of shoplifting or driving off without paying.

[LiberalFighter]

21. I don't know if it would be considered the same. I have my receipts.

At least for a while. But not organized. They might be there or over there. Most in the car.

[appleannie1]

15. They were insinuating she had to have made it laying on her back or else selling drugs.

Just that sneering hint of innuendo. They think they are so much more intelligent and pure and she is making them all look like cheap fools.

[LiberalFighter]

22. It is a shame the attorney helping Fani can't imply some things about the attorneys doing the grilling today.

[Iwasthere]

31. Why couldnt she?

Been thinking the same thing. It was so blatant the judge should have called out that shit. Imo

[Kennah]

18. Cash Horde

She asked a clarifying question, "Cash what?"

"Cash Horde."

"I thought you said something else."

I don't think the words were chosen randomly.

Cash Stash.
Honey Money.
Lots of other terms.

But he wanted to imply Cash Whore.

[LiberalFighter]

23. I didn't hear that but was wondering was said at that time.

[Quakerfriend]

26. Definitely not random! That guy was so overtly

racist! I was glad the judge finally got tired of him too.

And, btw, who doesn’t keep some cash in their home?? It’s pretty common.

And, how about the next lawyer who didn’t seem to know what cash app was?! 😂

[kwijybo]

43. Mom yelled for me when they started talking about money

Fani Willis' father taught her to keep a stash at home, travel with cash, and so on.

"Her father taught her to keep a stash, just like your Dad did!" Mom was surprised that other people do this. I explained to her that I continue to do those things because they work, they are handy.

[MOMFUDSKI]

25. I heard it loud and clear and I am

an old WHITE woman!

[calimary]

27. What you said, my friend!

SO damn insulting and demeaning! So how lily-white are YOUR bedsheets, Mr. Lawyer? Does your wife know what you’re up to when you’re “at work” (and with whom)?

[Freethinker65]

28. Speaker of House Johnson is the one with no bank account for years, correct?

Bet he had mounds of cash somewhere to pay bills.

[Bluethroughu]

29. We were saying the same thing.

Everyone I know, carries that amount of cash on vacation because some of these countries don't have the infrastructure for credit, nor would you want to swipe.

[Evolve Dammit]

30. Same. It was disgusting

[SoFlaBro]

36. "You stole that money, gal! Who from?" that is exactly how it sounded.

[Evolve Dammit]

39. You could hear and feel the disrespect and racism. The old south

[SoFlaBro]

42. MAGA is all about rape, racism, pedophilia, bigotry, and anti Americanism.

[Evolve Dammit]

61. They do have a diverse agenda and belief system, deeply engrained, F' em all.

[SoFlaBro]

62. I hate the fuck out of MAGA

[Evolve Dammit]

64. I hear ya. The cult is dangerous but we will overcome (I hope).

[Evolve Dammit]

63. Let's again fight that war of northern aggression (what absolute BS) that has generationally manifested.

[captain queeg]

38. Sorry, not up to speed. Is Fanni being charged with something?

[bigtree]

41. nope

..Trump's team motioned to have her removed from the prosecution because she had a fling or two with another prosecutor. Argument is that money fronted for about five outings compromised the DA.

She maintains any money exchanged between the two was reimbursement due to Wade making travel arrangements for the entire group, and that she reimbursed with cash which she always brings on trips and sometimes keeps in bulk at home for various reasons, from $15k to as little as $500.

She also maintains that Wade never took her anywhere, meaning that the outings were reciprocal like friends and not transactional to the point where he was providing for her; and that she had actually been the one to take him on what she hinted was a health and confidence building outing on his 50th birthday and during his cancer treatment.

Every outing was testified by both to have been made in cash payments.

She and Wade also separately disputed the timeline set by the earlier witness, who did not provide evidence she had the means to know details of their relationship, and said the 'romantic' part began after the indictments and ended in June or August 2023.

Lisa Rubin @lawofruby 4h
“You’re confused,” Willis maintained. She says she is not on trial; “these people,” indicating the defendants, are on trial for trying to steal an election.

[dlk]

40. Trump's lawyers put another target on Willis' back today

Now the entire world knows she keeps cash at her home and is a robbery target, in addition to everything else she’s been targeted for.

There was evil and true malice in the courtroom today.

[BaronChocula]

44. YUP!

These drawling clowns have no self-awareness. Their assault on Fani Willis is not a good look

[TrollBuster9090]

48. What do you do to earn that kind of money, Virgil?

[StarryNite]

49. It was insulting and disgusting.

And oh the double standard of a convicted sex offender and his "attorneys" having the audacity to put this woman through that kind of unnecessary bullshit. She has a right to a life. She did nothing wrong.

[bigtree]

50. I think some folks might have forgotten that this is the Trump defense team with an unproven attack

...which shouldn't have gotten a hearing without some showing of evidence in their filing for what they alleged.

The judge allowed Trump's lawers to muddy up Fani Willis over something they had no evidence of, supposing he was helping something by allowing them to perform that sham questioning in front of the court.

He led the defense all the way through, instead of just letting them present what they had and so be it. He couldn't decide any objection without giving the trump lawyers a chance to 'explain' their inanities, and often ended up with a garble that caused him to move on.

There should NOT have been questions about sex in a court deciding Trump's election fraud of the woman whose prosecuting him. There was zero evidence from the start of any wrongdoing, and none of the talk about intercourse had any relevance after she testified no payment was made to her and that she paid her own way.

That was the only thing relevant to the accusations and the sex was salacious enough to leave out. It tells us nothing and THAT was unnecessarily humiliating and damagind; not the actual affair, which wasn't illegal, unethical, or improper.

Wade was there under independent contract. He doesn't work under her. He's not her employee. Wade works WITH Fani Willis. He makes almost $300k a year.

She did nothing wrong, nothing to draw these bullshit charges by seeking companionship with this man.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

51. kick

[Blue Owl]

52. Almost like I'm hearing Billie Holiday singing 'Strange Fruit"

[et tu]

53. she met the ides

of february head on. many women keep cash on hand because
life can be unpredictable~

[BumRushDaShow]

54. Often dubbed "microaggressions"

It's an all-the-time thing for black folks.

[LisaM]

55. They were talking about the cash aspect on MSNBC last night

and the relationship of minorities to financial institutions.

I hadn't thought of that (obvious and excellent) point, but I use cash myself quite a bit, more than most people I know, and always have a fair amount on hand.

[True Blue American]

65. Most of us do.

Especially if you are older and remember your folks on the depression.

My MIL DID NOT TRUST BANKS.

[redqueen]

56. I can't watch

It's beyond infuriating

[Jack-o-Lantern]

57. I was grinding my teeth so hard watching that shit-show,

I had to put in my night-time mouth guard.
