Whistleblower testifies about alleged retaliation at Fulton County DA's office

The Georgia Senate held a special committee investigation of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis on Thursday.

The committee also wants to "enact new or amend existing laws and/or change state appropriations to restore public confidence in the criminal justice system."

This is what it sounds like when someone tells the truth. She and Ashleigh. Thank you for standing up for what’s right.

[ddiagnosis]

Praying that God's light protect her for telling it like it is. She's telling the whole truth.

[reginaalmaraz]

Total corruption in Fani office! She figured out their scandal to enrich themselves! Wow! Just wow!

[dougwalker]

Wow, first credible person from the DA's office.

[ddiagnosis]

She is such a strong, beautiful and well spoken person. I hurt with you mam and God will wipe our tears.

[virginiahouse]

What an intelligent, impressive, and articulate young lady. She is most impressive. Any agency should be proud to have her in their program.

[muffgg]

It's obvious she's not in the "club" that Fani is in, shameful !

[stephaniecannon]

Reimbursement for this Lady plus for all her pain and sufferings. 😢

And The FBI need to be requested to drag the bottom of the swampy swamp to find out how the money was spent and uncover the "Truth." Allegedly. 😮

[FernandoFig-ig]

One brave principled woman! The whistle blower, that is.

[I_AM_able_]

Imagine all those getting away with musing federal money.. This lady truly protects this country.

[maryflorence]

This is what it means to stand. God bless you my sister!

[carolynblue]

Please don’t let this lady get away with what she did against this whistleblower. Praying for victory for her.

[LamarFFrazier]

She Should Be Given Fani Job As the New DA!!! Petition.

[julielouque]

Thank you for speaking out. shows courage.

This lady was done completely wrong. What she has been put through. Is absolutely horrible. Sticking up to these ctooks is commendable. Sadly what she has endured must be in no doubt be done to any person who has obeyed the law. Especially after reporting how a government grant and its money is unlawfully being spent. Fani willis needs some serious jail time. Also on so many ways that she has broken so many laws, including loosing her licenses to practice or convict anyone who has came before her. This whistleblower needs reimbursed, not to mention being awarded for coming forward, plus get what she is owed for damages and other loss of money that Fulton County has caused her to loose

[rhonda]

The Fulton County DA's Office NEEDS A COMPLETE DISBANDMENT! I pray that those who blew the whistle on this DA. cronyism dept. receive compensation. DA Willis needs 2B REMOVED ASAP!

[feistyny]

Anyone who has ever been through this knows she's telling the truth. I commend her for continuing to fight. Most people give up and they count on that. At minimum, I hope she's compensated for her losses plus cost and pain and suffering. Fani will be protected but let's see if anyone else will be reprimanded. Smh.

[songmanl]

Cash money G willis needs to be prosecuted!

[ravensmith]

I feel so sorry for this lady! This is a shame!
