Here come da ...
The hearing for Fulton Country District Attorney Fani Willis and prosecutor Nathan Wade is taking place in Atlanta, Georgia today and even an MSNBC analyst has admitted that the wheels have come off and it's pretty much game over.
With Willis' boyfriend's testimony going badly, Willis made her own rather dramatic entrance to the courtroom today and then took the stand:

According to legal analysts and anybody else watching, it was all down the drain from there:
Julie Kelly (@julie_kelly2) ~ Literally waiting for Fani Willis’ attorney to object to her own testimony.
Eddie Scarry (@eScarry) ~ Surprised the judge has let Fani Willis treat her appearance as a witness as though she's on an episode of Judge Joe Brown. She's absolutely hysterical.
Willis' appearance is really going well (not necessarily for HER, but still):
Julie Kelly (@julie_kelly2) ~ Judge takes 5 minute break to stop Fani Willis from screaming and repeatedly accusing Merchant (Roman atty) of being a liar.
Sandy (@RightGlockMom) ~ Judge calls for a 5 minute recess as Fani Willis loses her cool shouting, "It is a lie! It is a lie!"
Will he admonish her when court resumes?

Yep, it's going wonderfully:

It's turning into one of those scenes from a movie where the judge says "one more outburst and I'll clear this courtroom!"
Here's another doozy:
Sharyl Attkisson (@SharylAttkisson) ~ Fani on sleeping with Wade after saying she wouldn't sleep with an employee: "Mr. Wade is not an employee." "I consider Mr. Wade to be an agent."
"It depends on what your definition of 'employee' is." That approach sure sounds familiar.
"Saving democracy" has entered the chat:
Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) ~ Fani Willis: Making me answer questions is “contrary to democracy.â€

Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) ~ 🚨 Fani Willis thinks that questioning her about her secret affair with Nathan Wade that included paying him $600,000 of taxpayer money is anti-democracy:
"I am not a hostile witness. I very much want to be here. Ms. Merchant's interests are contrary to democracy, your honor, not to mine."
Fani's career is over.

What's with all the cash? Willis can explain:
Meara (@MillennialOther) ~ Prosecutor: “So, to be clear, you don’t know where the money came from that you gave Mr. Wade for the cruise?â€
Fani Willis: “NAH LADY, I KEEP FAT STACKS IN MY MATTRESS OK THE SOURCE OF THE MONEY IS THE WORK, SWEAT, AND TEARS OF ME!â€
This is such a shit show. 😂😂

Ah, the Bob Menendez defense. Yeah, that's working out great for the senator so maybe Willis thought it was worth a shot in her matter. She also tried to remind the court who should remain the focus:
MSNBC (@MSNBC) ~ Fani Willis pushes back against efforts to obtain her personal records: "You’re confused. You think I’m on trial. These people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020. I'm not on trial, no matter how hard you try to put me on trial."

Heh heh heh heh heh ... MSNBC trying to carry water for Fani!
Willis is not on trial ... yet:
Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) ~ Fani Willis is going to end up disbarred and facing felony charges. The Atlanta case against Trump is effectively over.
This whole thing imploded fast, but Willis seems determined to keep making it worse. Stay tuned!
