MSNBC analyst blasts Fani Willis’s credibility: ‘Case is dead in the water’ – Washington Examiner

A legal analyst appearing on MSNBC argued that special prosecutor Nathan Wade’s testimony on Thursday seriously hurt the credibility of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, putting the case against former President Donald Trump in jeopardy.

Wade’s testimony revealed that he and Willis, who were romantically involved with each other, were not being truthful in legal documents, which has created additional scrutiny over her ability to work truthfully in the court of law. Caroline Polisi, a federal and white-collar defense attorney, stated Thursday that Willis’s credibility being “shot” is the biggest takeaway from Wade’s “bombshell” testimony, especially regarding her work in the case against Trump.

“If she lied to the court — she submitted something to the court that she knew was false and inaccurate — what else was she lying about?” Polisi asked.

Polisi added that Willis’s case is “dead in the water” due to the recent revelations, which are a “horrible, horrible look for her.” She also predicted that Willis would likely be disqualified from this case.

“The case will have to be reassigned to another prosecutor’s office. Likely it will languish there for months,” Polisi said. “I think it’s over. I think the case is over.”

Polisi reiterated her belief about the case on social media, writing that it is “game over” for Willis and Wade.

Fani Willis and Nathan Wade lied to the Court. Game over. The case is DEAD.

Wade’s testimony comes after Judge Scott McAfee, who was reviewing allegations that Willis had a conflict of interest in the case, stated Monday that Willis could face disqualification. Willis has argued her relationship with Wade has had no impact on the case.

The case in question is related to Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election results in the state of Georgia, one of several legal battles he is facing this year while running for president again. Trump has not yet secured the Republican Party’s nomination for the 2024 election but is consistently leading in various polls and primary races.
