“This is epic. This is monumental.”
If Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis submitted something to the court that “she knew was false and inaccurate, what else was she lying about?”
The rhetorical question put forward by legal analyst Caroline Polisi came during a Thursday afternoon segment on MSNBC. Polisi’s on-air appearance followed testimony from Willis’ former assistant, who alleged that the district attorney lied about the timeline of her intimate relationship with the special prosecutor she hired to convict Donald Trump of leading a “criminal racketeering enterprise” to “unlawfully change the outcome” of the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia.
According to Colby Hall of Mediaite, Polisi did not hold back in her analysis of how harmful Robin Yeartie’s testimony was for Willis’ office:
“Don’t let the legalese fool you,” she opened. “This is epic. This is monumental. If things are going in the direction we think, Fani Willis lied to the court, it’s game over for her. She will be disqualified. If they had a relationship prior to when they represented truth to the court, it’s a huge deal. I can’t overstate.”
Polisi added further context in a statement to Mediaite, saying, “Willis will be disqualified, which means her entire office is disqualified, which means the case will have to be re-assigned and languish with the PAC of Georgia, effectively killing the case. Her credibility is completely shot.”
It remains unclear how this will affect the election fraud case Willis brought against the former president. It could mean, at the least, that Willis’s time leading the case is over, given the apparent revelation that she lied under oath about the timing of her affair with her deputy Nathan Wade.
