Let’s all raise a glass to Georgia Fulton County DA Fani Willis and her either current or ex-boyfriend, Nathan Wade. I alternated between listening to and watching that hearing yesterday and have seldom been so damn entertained. I mean, you cannot script cringe-worthy comedy like this, you really can’t.
It was 7 hours of non-stop transparently false testimony - unbridled hubris combined with stunning stupidity, all wrapped up in an unintentionally hilarious presentation for the cameras. In the end, it demonstrated that, at least in Georgia, Donald Trump is being persecuted by a pack of absolute circus clowns who may possess even less self-discipline and self-awareness than he does, as hard as that is to believe.
Those of you who have ever testified in a courtroom, think back to what was the very first admonishment you received from your lawyer: Answer the question that was asked in as few words as possible.
That simple bit of advice would have been immediately followed by something like: Do not expand. Do not go off on tangents. Do not make the mistake of thinking you are smarter than the opposing lawyers. Do not think you can explain your way out of this, because all that will inevitably do is open up doors for more questions from those lawyers. Above all else, do not be confrontational with opposing counsel.
Neither Nathan Wade nor Fani Willis have apparently ever been given this sage advice, or if they have received it, they absolutely ignored it.
