‘Unreasonable and Uncustomary’: Fani Willis Responds to Jim Jordan’s Subpoena in a Letter

Fulton Country District Attorney Fani Willis this week responded to House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan's February subpoena.

snip//

I am in receipt of your letter dated March 14, 2024. I categorically reject the assertion that this office is deficient in responding to the Committee's subpoena dated February 2, 2024. As you note in your letter, we have already provided you with substantial information about our programs that are funded via federal grants.

Further, as I expressed to you in my letter dated February 23, 2024, this office is in the process of producing relevant documents to you on a rolling basis and is undertaking a good faith effort to provide you with responsive information about our federal grant funding. As part of that ongoing process, we are again today making a document production.

Your primary complaint appears to be that we did not complete the production of your extensive document demands (including five categories of documents over a four-year period) in less than two months. That demand is unreasonable and uncustomary and would require this government office to divert resources from our primary purpose of prosecuting crime.

Let me be clear, while we are abiding by your subpoena in good faith and with due diligence, we will not divert resources that undermine our duty to the people of Fulton County to prosecute felonies committed in this jurisdiction. We will not shut down this office's efforts to prosecute crime - including gang activity, acts of violence and public corruption - to meet unreasonable deadlines in your politically motivated 'investigation' of this office.

Willis concludes, "My family, my staff and I have been threatened repeatedly by people making violent, often racist, attacks. Neither those threats, nor anything your colleagues and you say or do, will deter us from fulfilling our duty to bring this case to trial."

1. Fani Willis to Jim Jordan: "I won't back down"

[sheshe2]

2. Good for her!

Boom!

[dlk]

3. Willis gets straight to the point

She will not be bullied by Trump’s toadies. Jordan has met his match and then some.

[Wild blueberry]

4. Fani Willis is channeling her fury

Good work! Clear, responsive, just.
Now, Gym, about YOUR subpoena......we're still waiting.

[lastlib]

17. I would've added ONE thing to Ms. Willis' letter:

"Mr. Jordan, we are being infinitely more responsive to the subpoena we received from Congress than YOU have been to the one YOU received. So you have NO BASIS to complain about UNRESPONSIVENESS until you have COMPLIED with YOUR subpoena. Thank you, and have a good day."

[lame54]

19. I said Good Day

[GenThePerservering]

30. Not a great idea. NT

[PatSeg]

5. I think Jordan is messing with the wrong woman

She knows what she's doing and she does it with great confidence and skill. If he had any sense whatsoever, he'd be intimidated, but I think he's too stupid to realize he is out of his league with Fani Willis.

25. Those MAGA clowns will have to come up with someone other than Gym.

Fani's not playing politics or just doing her job. She is on a righteous cause that is very important to her, her place in history, her heritage. It should be for us as well. She's out to expose criminals and their corruption in high places. The petty attempts to shake her from the case do not weaken her resolution. Quite the contrary, they seem to have inured her to the many crimes the other side will commit in its effort to bring her low, to protect their own. If/when she comes down it will be with fire on their heads and it will hurt those who would do her harm much more than it would diminish her will to proceed. She has that special look of a determined woman on a sublime mission, no left or right, only straight ahead. A moment of legend in the making, folks.

[PatSeg]

29. Well said

And I remind myself that Willis knows far more about the case than we do. We seem to be living in a time of "legend in the making" people. Such opportunities may not come their way again.

6. What an indomitable spirit!

Love

[twodogsbarking]

7. P.S. Fuck off.

[azureblue]

8. hey little Jimmy

"When you respond to your subpoena, I will respond to yours"

[flying_wahini]

9. And she didn't say a word about JJ not responding to HIS own subpoena, either.

[evolves]

10. ZERO

fucks given by Fani Willis.

[Joinfortmill]

11. When is Jordan going to be investigated? The guy is a sleazy mess of corruption.

[LaMouffette]

13. Yes! It is unconscionable that Jordan has not been investigated for his role in the Jan. 6 attempt to overthrow

the US government, along with the other Congress members who objected to the counting of the electoral votes that day.

[progressoid]

12. Fuck Gym

[Seinan Sensei]

14. Jacket off,

Gym

[lindysalsagal]

15. The fools act like they're not 1 seat away from losing hearing/subpoena power.

Or that they're somehow going to hang onto the house in november.

[Baitball Blogger]

16. Putting all the cards on the table, when it comes to exposing his motives.

I love the way Fani Willis operates.

[iluvtennis]

18. Fani Willis is a badass - love her. n/t

[HotRod Deluxe]

20. ...yeah...

"That demand is unreasonable and uncustomary and would require this government office to divert resources from our primary purpose of prosecuting crime." Gee, I think that might be Germ Jordan's whole idea.

[usonian]

21. Says Jim: I OBJECT, OBSTRUCT AND OPPOSE

your efforts to enforce the law.

And I will do so again when it's my turn to face the music for sedition, subversion and perversion (Which are "free speech" in my maga mind.)

[NoMoreRepugs]

22. Jordan truly is among the biggest piles of dung on the planet.

[intheflow]

23. I love this woman.

That is all.

[AllaN01Bear]

24. ahem. mr jordon. 3 years on ignoring your Subpoena?

[C_U_L8R]

26. That's telling Gym where to stick it.

If he has any sense at all, he'll cut his losses and go home.

[Walleye]

27. Hey Jim why don't you do something useful and tell your flying monkeys to lay off the death threats.Won't do that

[stollen]

28. Has Gym responded to his own subpoena?

It's been a year, at least.

[malaise]

31. Damn that is good

Rec

[Firestorm49]

32. God bless her.

[Cha]

33. Boom! Fuck you Gym Pervert..

[oasis]

34. To: Gym

KMA

[Bluethroughu]
