01:40

this stems from a whistleblower

01:42

complaint alleging fonnie Willis misused

01:44

federal funds the lawyer at the center

01:46

of the attempt to remove Fon County DA

01:48

fonny Willis from the 2020 Georgia

01:51

election case testified before the state

01:53

senate committee she talked about what

01:56

exactly she says she found that she

01:59

believes should disqualify Willis well

02:01

Chris that's exactly what it does so to

02:03

be very clear what's happening here at

02:05

the State House is different from what

02:06

is happening a couple of locks away at

02:08

the Fulton County Courthouse in that

02:10

situation the judge will decide whether

02:11

or not fny Willis will stay on the case

02:14

now here at the State House what

02:16

lawmakers are doing is they are looking

02:17

into whether or not there was any misuse

02:20

of State funds and the misuse of power

02:22

for personal game those are the two

02:23

issues they're looking at here so you've

02:25

gone back and reviewed all of the Fulton

02:27

County commission's minutes in records

02:30

to see what requests were made and if

02:33

there was a resolution granting the

02:34

additional funding yes oh yes was there

02:37

ever a request for additional funding

02:39

for a special prosecutor to pursue these

02:42

election cases no there wasn't and I

02:45

knew that before um we got the District

02:47

Attorney's response but subsequently we

02:49

got a response from the district

02:50

attorney's office that said we didn't do

02:53

it we don't have to do it I'm a

02:54

constitutional officer um so their

02:56

argument was we don't have to comply

02:58

with those statutes or those rules

02:59

because she's saying um she's a

03:01

constitutional officer so she doesn't

03:02

have to get County approval she can

03:04

spend her budget however she wants then

03:06

why would she have gotten County

03:07

approval for the uh the other 55

03:10

attorneys so what I've surmised is that

03:13

was because those were staff members and

03:15

so she she C she went and asked for

03:17

additional budgetary money she needed a

03:19

higher budget so for those 55 people she

03:21

went and asked for more money because

03:23

she didn't have enough money and once

03:25

she was awarded that it's her position

03:27

now that she can spend that money

03:28

however she wants doesn't have to use

03:29

for 55 new staff she can use it for

03:32

special attorney general yes not

03:34

attorney

03:36

general essentially that that that is

03:38

their argument in their reply briefs

03:39

that they filed um in court that they

03:42

have her an authority they don't have to

03:43

comply with the county ordinances don't

03:45

have to comply with the statute um so

03:47

they don't have to comply with our state

03:49

statute that they have once they're

03:51

awarded the budget they can use that

03:52

budget however I mean how their how

03:54

their motion and I and I'm happy to send

03:56

the motion um it's public record but how

03:58

their motion argued it was if they get

04:01

$5 million they can pay that to one

04:03

person if they want um as long as the

04:05

you know because the voter's authorized

04:07

her to do that so the county their

04:09

position is the county authorizes a

04:10

budget and she can pretty much has

04:13

inherent authority to do it however even

04:15

though she specifically asked for the

04:17

money to prosecute backlogged homicide

04:19

cases in Atlanta yes okay um what's your

04:23

opinion on that you think the statute or

04:26

County procedures permit that no I do

04:29

not um and there's and I cited several

04:31

different County um County ordinances so

04:35

when I read the statute when I read 15-1

04:37

1820 and it makes sense you know it

04:39

makes sense intuitively as lawyers when

04:40

we Bill someone is reviewing our bills I

04:43

mean that that that's just you know

04:44

that's the process if you're in private

04:46

practice you know your client authorizes

04:48

your bills if you're in if you're doing

04:49

Public Defense which I've done Public

04:51

Defense I've done appointed work um you

04:53

know the the governing agency approves

04:55

my bills and they will cut them they

04:56

will regularly cut them um if they're

04:58

too high and so there's always some type

05:00

of budgetary authority that's that's

05:02

reviewing everything um so I thought it

05:04

was very strange that in this case there

05:06

isn't one um and that there's really no

05:08

oversight because it is public money so

05:10

I know that I know that it's an elected

05:13

official but it's still public money um

05:16

and I don't live in Fon County so it

05:18

would probably aggravate me more if I

05:23

did so we have the code section up that

05:25

you're referencing for prosecuting

05:27

attorneys getting additional personel

05:30

that's what Mr Wade would qualify as

05:32

correct yes so under B um that is the

05:36

that's the section that authorizes the

05:38

appointment of special counsel and it

05:40

says the manner and amount of

05:41

compensation to be paid is fixed by

05:43

either local act or by the district

05:45

attorney with the approval of the county

05:47

um and so that's where that that's our

05:49

argument that that this was not

05:52

appropriate expenditure because it did

05:54

not have County approval so our state

05:56

law requires if a DA is going to go seek

06:00

outside Council I'm going to call them

06:02

that must be approved by the County

06:04

Commission yes without a doubt good

06:06

evening carress woman and so what

06:09

provoked this request for documents to

06:11

begin with what made you think that her

06:13

office was using Federal front funds

06:16

inappropriately because we have evidence

06:18

that she has been receiving federal

06:20

funds and obviously we have oversight as

06:23

to how they're being spent being the

06:24

judici Judiciary Committee and Congress

06:28

and so it is our right determine whether

06:30

she is spending those funds

06:31

appropriately we have the same issue

06:33

with brag in New York they're using

06:35

federal funds to to engage in political

06:38

persecution and to go after political

06:40

enemies we also need to find out to what

06:42

extent she has uh corresponded with

06:45

worked with coordinated with the White

06:47

House in her efforts to to pursue this

06:51

uh this litigation against Donald Trump

06:53

and other citizens wait when you when

06:56

you send money to a DA's office now you

06:58

get sent around the country from the

07:00

Department of Justice I understand the

07:01

oversight is it just you know here's 12

07:03

million or here's 12 million spend it on

07:06

fixing the jails adding more assistant

07:09

Das I mean are you specific so I mean

07:11

because or or do you just sort of send a

07:13

check you don't you don't just send a

07:15

check they are supposed to use that

07:17

money for specific purposes and that's

07:19

one of the reasons why we have the

07:20

oversight it's just not just that they

07:22

get a blank check to do whatever they

07:24

want to do and again when we're talking

07:26

about political persecution which I

07:28

think it's very obvious in light of what

07:30

has happened over the last couple of

07:31

weeks and the the mini trial that we

07:34

that we watched play out in the court

07:35

down there addressing her relationship

07:38

her inappropriate relationship with one

07:40

of her underlings and whether that has

07:42

color colored this litigation and her

07:44

effort to prosecute Donald Trump so

07:46

again I think that we have every right

07:47

to determine whether our money is being

07:49

used inappropriately and whether she is

07:51

the conduit by which the White House is

07:54

attempting to hamstring uh President

07:56

Biden's primary political opponent are

07:59

there some specific documents you've

08:01

requested that she has not provided to

08:03

date I know that she says it's sort of a

08:05

rolling process and um I don't know if

08:07

she's dragging her feet or not but

08:08

nonetheless are there some specific

08:10

documents that you want that you think

08:12

that she's sitting on deliberately well

08:14

some of the documents that I would like

08:16

to see relate to the relationship and

08:18

the coordination and the interaction

08:20

with the White House when her uh former

08:23

Paramore uh was billing the county he

08:26

has line items in there for meeting with

08:29

white with the White House in Washington

08:31

DC for eight hours at a time I think it

08:34

would be entirely appropriate for us to

08:36

have some understanding of what what

08:39

what took place it during those meetings

08:42

and again we need to get back to the

08:43

fact or to the question of whether Joe

08:46

Biden and the White House are

08:47

coordinating in these efforts to

08:49

prosecute Donald Trump Donald Trump is

08:51

clearly not only the front runner he is

08:53

the candidate for the Republican Party

08:55

he is beating Joe Biden in all of the

08:58

polls there's one particular entry that

09:00

I have a high interest in and I I can't

09:02

figure this one out I know about the

09:03

meetings at the White House and and I

09:05

got that you have the interest in but

09:07

there's one entry in his invoices where

09:09

he said he met I think with White House

09:11

councel in Athens Georgia and for the

09:13

life of me I can't figure out I mean I

09:15

get you know going to the White House

09:17

and maybe there's some negotiation about

09:18

documents or whatever and I I I await

09:21

the answer to that but why why do you

09:23

think that what's with this Athens

09:25

Georgia meeting with the White House

09:26

Council you don't expect that one so

09:29

think that that's also very significant

09:31

we need to find out that but we also

09:32

have learned that there is an assistant

09:34

district attorney in her office who is

09:36

being paid 40 some thousand 50 some

09:39

thousand a year yet has a side business

09:42

that is he is a a a political operative

09:45

a Democrat political operative where

09:47

he's actually red in hundreds of

09:48

thousands of dollars if not more in

09:50

furthering the Democrat agenda I think

09:53

we're entitled to find out more

09:54

information about that relationship and

09:56

why he's in the office and as as you say

09:59

there were meetings with white house

10:00

councel I think we have the right to

10:02

understand what took place during those

10:04

meetings We are following a dispute

10:07

right now between Fulton County Georgia

10:09

essentially Atlanta the da here funny

10:11

Willis and her dispute with a powerful

10:13

Congressman house should diser chairman

Jim Jordan of Ohio an ardan Trump

10:20

Willis in contempt of congress for not

10:23

providing information about how the DA's

10:26

office used a Federal grant but in a def

10:29

defiant response Willis said she is

10:31

cooperating with Jordan's committee and

10:33

suggested what Jordan really wants is to

10:35

slow down her election subversion case

10:38

against Trump and others she wrote in

10:40

part nothing that you do will derail the

10:43

efforts of my staff and I bring the

10:45

election interference prosecution to

10:47

trial the Georgia case delayed for two

10:49

months by a challenge to Da fonny Willis

10:52

finally moves forward today in Atlanta

10:54

Judge Scott McAfee will hear arguments

10:56

that the charges violate Trump's Free

10:58

Speech rights under the First Amendment

11:00

Trump's lawyers say the case seeks to

11:01

criminalize political speech da Fon

11:03

Willis firing back at Republicans

11:06

seeking info about her use of federal

11:08

funds saying quote nothing you do will

11:11

derail the efforts of my staff and I to

11:13

bring election interference prosecution

11:15

to trial so that a jury of fton County

11:18

Citizens can determine the guilt or

11:21

innocence of the defendants tensions

11:23

escalating on Capitol Hill as

11:25

Congressman Jim Jordan calls on fonnie

11:27

Willis to appear before lawmakers

11:29

The embattled Fulton County district

11:31

attorney facing an ultimatum show up or

11:35

face contempt of congress if she doesn't

11:37

comply with the Congressional subpoena

11:39

Congress is trying to find out if and

11:41

how her office misused federal funds so

11:44

F Willis's office is saying that she's

11:46

innocent their office did nothing wrong

11:48

but Congressman Jim Jordan is saying

11:50

they haven't sent over enough to prove

11:53

that they're looking for yet another

11:54

slice of the pie so in a letter from we

11:57

obtains from Jim Jordan to Fanny will

11:59

his office it reads in part quote your

12:02

office unlawfully planed to use part of

12:04

a

12:06

$488,000 Federal grant earmarked for the

12:08

creation of a center of Youth

12:10

Empowerment and gang prevention to cover

12:13

frivolous unrelated expenses we know the

12:16

allegations here Center on a former

12:18

employee who said the district attorney

12:20

fired her soon after she raised concerns

12:23

about how one of their employees hoped

12:25

to use those Federal grant money for

12:28

things outside

12:29

of the scope of that Federal grant the

12:32

youth violence and gang prevention

12:34

program the congressman Jim Jordan he's

12:36

emphasizing the seriousness of the

12:38

matter he's saying that failure to

12:40

adhere to The subpoena would result in

12:42

severe

12:44

consequences as part of that letter he

12:46

says quote the committee expects that

12:49

you will produce all responsive

12:51

Documents To The subpoena and the

12:53

categories prioritized by the committee

12:55

if you fail to do so the committee will

12:57

consider taking further action such as

13:00

the invocation of contempt of congress

13:03

proceedings and that's what's really new

13:05

in this story here so we've reached out

13:06

to Willis's office in response for this

13:09

subpoena we have not heard back from her

13:11

yet we'll update you when we do but when

13:13

this subpoena was initially sent out

13:16

back in February February 2nd she sent

13:18

us this this statement she says in part

13:21

quote these false allegations are

13:23

included in baseless litigation filed by

13:25

a holdover employee from the previous

13:28

administration who was terminated for

13:30

cause the courts have ruled they found

13:33

no merit in these claims we expect the

13:35

same result in any pending litigation

13:38

Mary right now it's still unclear

13:40

whether or not these federal funds in

13:42

question were used or misused improperly

13:46

or not let's talk about this Georgia

13:48

case and we know this Fanny Willis looks

13:49

unbelievably compromised it looks like

13:51

she's admitted her relationships with

13:53

Nathan Wade who whose credentials are

13:55

weak to be a lead prosecutor on a former

13:58

president United States Ates they're

13:59

going to be questioning today lot of his

14:01

expenses that he was paid and were they

14:04

used to go on vacation together look at

14:06

some of these stuff you probably can't

14:07

see it there $800 for nappy Valley Nappa

14:10

Valley Hotel 3,000 for a Royal Caribbean

14:13

vacation close to that no Norwegian crws

14:16

on and on and on one flowers all these

14:19

bills are they related to the money he's

14:21

getting because of the job she gave them

14:23

and what does it mean for the case yeah

14:25

she used taxpayer dollars to to help

14:28

Nathan Wade who spent it in all kinds of

14:30

ways but he also used that money to go

14:32

after president Trump for goodness sake

14:34

so yeah that I think she's compromised

14:36

and back up a second she charged

14:38

president Trump and 18 other people and

14:40

was looking to charge three United

14:42

States senators she put this out

14:43

including the top Republican on the

14:45

Senate Judiciary Committee and now we

14:47

find out we're talking to this

14:48

individual now we find out there's a

14:50

whistleblower in the fton County DA's

14:52

office who says that fonny Willis also

14:55

misspent federal funds that's why we've

14:57

subpoena Miss Willis for information

14:59

related to that and other issues we want

15:01

to know what's going on here but she

15:03

sure looks like she's been compromising

15:05

this entire ridiculous effort that she

15:07

undertook several months ago I just hope

15:09

they blow up the case because she has no

15:11

credibility and she led the charge and

15:13

it seems to be all about politics fton

15:15

County district attorney fonnie Willis

15:17

is facing a new deadline in the ongoing

15:20

investigation into her office's use of

15:22

federal funds the federal government has

15:24

a right to ensure that federal dollars

15:26

aren't being misspent or misappropriated

15:28

and that's either for personal use or

15:29

even divert it into another program US

15:32

House Judiciary chair representative Jim

15:35

Jordan issued this letter Thursday

15:37

saying Willis's compliance with a

15:39

previous subpoena was deficient to

15:41

produce documents proving her office did

15:44

not mishandle Federal money for example

15:47

the money was given to prosecute uh drug

15:49

crimes that it's not being used to

15:51

prosecute uh even homicides for example

15:54

that' be a misuse of the federal funding

15:56

Willis's office was originally

15:57

subpoenaed for the documents in February

16:00

after House Republicans began

16:01

investigating if Willis used federal

16:04

funds during her investigation into

16:06

former president Donald Trump

16:08

practically

16:09

disruptive um because you know if if he

16:12

follows through on the threat and if

16:13

there is a contempt there's going to be

16:14

a hearing the allegations were made by a

16:16

former employee in Willis's office in

16:19

the past Willis has called the

16:20

allegations false and said quote the

16:23

courts have ruled found no merit to

16:25

these claims lawyers get involved um po

16:28

potentially even the Department of

16:29

Justice gets involved and so it would be

16:31

a distraction and it could be disruptive

16:35

ultimately in the letter sent to

16:37

district attorney Willis representative

16:38

Jordan says the allegations are

16:40

concerning and the committee has an

16:42

obligation to investigate these claims

16:44

if she was asked the question you know

16:46

did you keep cash and trying to assess

16:48

the real issue here is whether or not

16:50

there are misconduct allegations that

16:52

can lead to her being disqualified those

16:55

misconduct allegations include number

16:57

one did she have an affair with a guy

17:00

before she hired him and what has come

17:02

out is that she hired him in November of

17:05

2022 and the affair started in early

17:08

2023 so I guess a few weeks after they

17:10

took a look at each other they decided

17:12

they were going to have sex together but

17:15

the truth is that it's more than that

17:18

was she partaking of trips that

17:21

literally she was indirectly paying for

17:25

and when it got to the point where she

17:26

had to prove that she was in fact

17:29

reimbursing uh Mr Wade for these trips

17:32

she couldn't have any proof she didn't

17:34

have any she said she want to believe

17:37

with cash I mean who to B with cash and

17:40

then finally um she said that she never

17:43

received a gift with of aggregate of

17:45

over $100 what she's got to worry about

17:48

is not so much her reputation because

17:50

she's outraged she's got to worry about

17:52

the reputation of her office that DA's

17:55

office has a stink on it now did she

17:58

hire someone

17:59

that she brought in because she wanted

18:01

to have a relationship with him did she

18:04

spend and by the way how do you go on

18:06

five trips as a DA in six months I mean

18:09

from Biz to the Bahamas to Aruba to uh

18:14

Miami at the Napa Valley I mean who's

18:16

running the DA's office nobody has time

18:19

to do this she was out of control but

18:22

the in the in the end I think she

18:24

started understanding that it wasn't her

18:26

show she had to calm herself so went on

18:29

for hours and this is one key part if if

18:31

control room can you get intro number

18:33

four ready and I'll ask Jesse about this

18:35

because there's been a lot of qu if you

18:37

turned in late tuned in late there was

18:39

all these questions about money and cash

18:42

and how much she paid and she says she

18:44

paid her fair share Etc but this was a

18:46

moment today where you thought oh there

18:48

could be trouble watch I've given them

18:50

cash only a few times in life probably

18:53

four okay probably the most money I've

18:55

ever handed him is $2,500 you have no

18:58

proof of reimbursement for any of these

19:00

things because it was all cash right the

19:01

testimony of one witness is enough to

19:04

prove a fact the only money you've ever

19:06

given him outside of a contract is cash

19:09

I didn't give him money in a contract so

19:11

that was cute but I didn't give him

19:13

money out in a contract his money back I

19:16

don't need anybody to foot my bills the

19:18

only man who's ever foot my bills

19:20

completely is my daddy you've been

19:23

watching all day you love it I don't

19:25

even know where to start Dana I'm so

19:28

engaged in this courtroom drama so many

19:31

things I want to say at once I just I

19:33

don't know if we're going to have enough

19:34

time we are covering this for the whole

19:35

hour is that correct I I I don't know if

19:37

I we please cover this for the whole

19:39

hour just start first of all it must be

19:42

exhausting to prosecute Trump because

19:45

This Woman's taken seven vacations

19:48

Year my favorite part was when she was

19:51

asked if she's ever been to any other

19:54

continents with Wade and she said well

19:56

I've been to bise is what is

20:00

bise B is North America Central

20:04

America this woman is Prosecuting the

20:06

former president of the United States

20:09

she flies to a country and doesn't know

20:11

what continent it's on that's just

20:13

number

20:15

one these are not smart or professional

20:18

people these are Petty people that all

20:22

of a sudden everyone's looking at and

20:25

their dirty laundry is totally exposed

20:30

her friend Dana for 30 years sorority

20:34

sisters she moved into this woman's

20:37

condo she hired her to work in her

20:38

office her friend

20:41

testified that she saw her kissing and

20:44

cuddling and holding hands just right

20:47

there alone direct witness

20:50

testimony should sink her because you're

20:52

not allowed to hire the person you're

20:55

having sex with and then not disclose it

21:00

and then pay him a bunch of money and

21:03

then he takes you on vacation and you

21:05

claim you gave him cash she says she's

21:08

keeping lots of cash in her house would

21:12

the top law enforcement official in

21:15

Fulton County announced to the entire

21:17

world hey everybody in Atlanta I keep

21:21

lots of cash in my

21:23

apartment it's it doesn't even add up

21:26

Dana and then when they say well where'

21:29

you get the cash from she goes Blood

21:32

Sweat and Tears hard work well do you

21:35

have any withdrawal slips from the bank

21:39

no she's been accumulating a cash horde

21:41

for many years she thought the guy said

21:44

yes she that was one of my

21:45

favorite parts I mean I could go on for

21:47

hours and hours and he said I would

21:49

never say about this case so much to say

21:52

can I asked the call uh control room for

21:54

call for number one this is the

21:56

friend revealing the

21:59

relationship you're confused you think

22:01

I'm on trial these people are on trial

22:04

for trying to steal an election in 2020

22:06

I'm not on trial no matter how hard you

22:08

try to put me on trial it is a liot it

22:11

is a

22:12

liot Mr SE thank you we're going to take

22:14

5 minutes all right that wasn't the one

22:16

I wanted but you get the picture of how

22:18

it went Greg yeah I think the view found

22:21

a backup host I mean the amount of

22:23

nonsense she can unload matches all of

22:26

them combined I'm like the judge I

22:28

didn't know know you could be this

22:29

combative and belligerent I mean that's

22:31

okay I guess I mean do does the average

22:34

guy get the same uh leeway to do that I

22:37

mean why are they so hands off I'd

22:39

really like to know it I'm telling you

22:42

man that was it was exhausting I felt

22:46

like I was on I was trapped with a

22:50

combative customer service rep from a

22:52

rental car agency who is battling me on

22:55

everything like I said that I wanted a i

22:58

wanted a four-door no we're out of did

23:00

you say that no we only have two doors

23:03

but I I I'm pretty sure I said

23:05

convertible we don't have any

23:06

convertibles are you saying I'm lying it

23:08

I I just she was amazing she was trying

23:11

to flood the Zone with a barrage of

23:14

frantic words a sides and tangents it

23:17

was like listening to a shoplifter tell

23:19

a cop her life story when he's just

23:21

asking her did you put a Snickers bar in

23:24

your purse I mean I I I I guess she's

23:26

like hoping that people will forget what

23:30

the case is about as long as you keep

23:32

building and building this nonsense

23:34

instead of digging a bigger hole You Dig

23:36

a bunch of little holes over here and

23:37

hope people just fall in and it just got

23:39

after a while I I couldn't handle it I

23:41

mean it is weird though that this person

23:44

is a DA and not just a DA but you know

23:47

presiding over probably one of the

23:48

biggest trials you know it's it's a

23:52

president on trial and and that's the

23:54

person in charge and I mean that is not

23:57

that's

23:58

not an even killed person uh I I I think

24:02

that I I originally would think that she

24:05

was you know maybe she felt like the

24:06

jury would identify with her but there's

24:08

no jury right so all I can think of is

24:11

she's auditioning for the view she knows

24:15

she's going to be impeached or whatever

24:17

you call it and this is like her next

24:19

gig because man she doesn't need a

24:21

script she just go I want to ask you to

24:23

do call forat number two that's on the

24:25

second part of the page this is the

24:27

MSNBC saying that she's in a lot of

24:30

trouble

24:32

watch this is epic this is Monumental if

24:35

things are going in the direction we

24:37

think uh fonnie Willis lied to the court

24:40

it's game over for her she will be

24:43

disqualified not to watch a Bravo

24:45

housewives episode or about salacious

24:47

details about a romance so I don't think

24:50

this is a good day for the state which

24:53

means Jessica it's a good day for

24:55

president Trump yeah and this this case

24:58

we'll get to the judge on this in a

24:59

moment but it looks like it's not going

25:00

well for Vonnie Willis or and you got to

25:03

imagine all of those other defendants

25:04

are thinking this case could get thrown

25:06

out I'm not sure I'll let the judge

25:09

comment on whether this could end up in

25:10

it being thrown out the Trump team and

25:13

what they are happy about is it it would

25:15

mean if she was disqualified it's

25:16

another delay all he's trying to do is

25:18

delay everything and he was in court in

25:20

New York today right trying to get the

25:22

Alvin Brad case delayed and that seems

25:23

like it'll go forward on March 25th the

25:25

thing is nobody cares about the Alvin

25:27

Brad case what they do care care about

25:29

is this case and the election

25:30

interference case that Jack Smith is

25:31

bringing and the documents so um I agree

25:35

with what with much of what has been

25:37

said I think that there were some

25:39

moments where she had legitimate reason

25:41

to be upset um when she was holding up

25:43

the document saying you lied in here the

25:46

lawyer had lied and put in the

25:48

documentation that uh Nathan Wade had

25:51

spent time in her condo in South Fulton

25:52

in 2021 said that's not true and that

25:55

that's where the disagreement with the

25:57

friend is their relationship hadn't

25:58

started until it doesn't mean it's a lie

26:01

the finder of facts determines whether

26:03

that's a lie she doesn't determine

26:06

it okay she was refuting testimony that

26:09

had come from her former friend

26:11

obviously something very bad happened in

26:12

that falling out and from that

26:15

particular yeah and in fact Willis at

26:17

one point says I have not spoken to

26:18

Robin in over a year I certainly do not

26:21

consider her a friend now judge can I

26:24

have you listen to what is a friend I

26:25

mean is it a personal friend is it a ro

26:28

that's right R have I ever paid you cash

26:31

think about that okay I just want I just

26:34

want to get to this part because it's

26:35

about democracy right so this is Will is

26:38

talking about democracy listen hear call

26:39

for number

26:41

four I'm very much want to be here so

26:44

I'm not a hostile witness I very much

26:46

want to be not so much that you're

26:47

hostile Miss will it be an adverse

26:49

witness your interests are opposed to

26:50

miss

26:51

Merchants Merchant's entrance are P are

26:55

cont contrary to democracy your honor

26:57

not to mine

26:59

okay mhm if that isn't a political

27:02

answer and first of all it appears she

27:04

doesn't understand the difference

27:06

between a hostile and an adverse witness

27:08

she is a hostile witness the way she

27:10

approached that that chair I've never

27:12

seen anything like it but more than that

27:14

she is an adverse witness legally which

27:17

allows cross-examination of her based

27:20

upon the fact that her interests are

27:22

contrary to miss Marchin Miss Marin's

27:24

papers included affidavits from

27:27

individual who swore to tell the truth

27:30

so an affidavit is something where if

27:32

you don't say the truth you can be

27:34

punished for it so she comes out as

27:36

though again she's running the courtroom

27:38

that's a lie no you refute it you say

27:41

it's a lie but that's not up to you and

27:44

she says I'm not hostile you're number

27:46

one as hostile as you can get body

27:48

language wise and number two you are as

27:51

adverse as any witness in a criminal

27:53

courtroom and when she says I'm not

27:55

hostile or she says that's an inaccurate

27:58

wa for you to ask me a question since

28:00

when are you the judge and that the

28:02

judge let her get away with this I've

28:04

lost respect I want to give Jesse one

28:06

more chance but can you get can you have

28:07

Jesse respond to call for number three

28:09

you haven't seen testimony yet during

28:11

this Roundup from Nathan Wade himself

28:13

this is about the

28:15

ATM you don't have a single solitary

28:19

deposit slip to corroborate or support

28:22

any of your allegations that you were

28:24

paid by Mrs Willis in cash do you

28:28

no sir not a single solitary one not a

28:32

one not a

28:34

one well I mean if you're paid in cash

28:37

you spend the cash Dana but someone's

28:39

got to have a withdrawal slip and it's

28:41

only Fanny but remember you can't ask

28:45

her those questions she's had that

28:47

hoorde for at least 10 years I want to

28:50

talk about Nathan Wade may I Nathan Wade

28:53

said it's not unusual for clients to

28:55

come to his law firm and pay large sums

29:00

of cash Bravo what kind of Law Firm

29:03

accepts large sums of cash from clients

29:07

that kind of guy is Prosecuting the

29:10

president of the United States a

29:12

personal injury attorney that takes cash

29:14

payments no questions asked are you

29:16

kidding me also how about this this is

29:19

how Wade does business Wade puts

29:22

everything he spends his money on on his

29:26

corporate card yes yes then at the end

29:29

of the year he gives the statement to

29:32

his tax attorney and the tax attorney

29:35

divides what was business and what was

29:37

personal and then they filed their taxes

29:41

I have never ever heard of anybody doing

29:44

that at all also funny from Wade Wade at

29:48

this point he's not supposed to be

29:50

sleeping with Fanny he's going to her

29:54

condo and this is when she's very lonely

29:58

and he's just picking her up and they're

29:59

going to dinner at Lickety splits or

30:02

Mellow Mushroom or Mellow Mushroom or

30:04

sometimes he's going to her condo and

30:06

they're reviewing documents has anybody

30:09

else from the legal team gone to F's

30:11

condo to review documents absolutely not

30:14

this would be like I don't know Robert

30:18

Mueller appointing Andrew Weissman to

30:20

work on his team they're

30:23

screwing and then he hands weissan $40

30:27

million which they're supposed to

30:29

investigate Donald Trump with and

30:30

Weissman takes Mueller to B to Nappa and

30:35

to Aruba and when everybody asks

30:38

questions meller says oh I just paid him

30:40

back in cash because I keep large stacks

30:43

of cash in the house and I'm not going

30:44

to show you my withdrawal

30:46

slips this doesn't add up
