An Explosive Audiotape Throws The National Spotlight Back on Trump Prosecutor Fani Willis

Two months ago, Willis celebrated the dismissal of a whistleblower’s case for wrongful termination by a judge, but that celebration may have been premature.

In a hilarious development, just as the corrupt officials in Georgia and especially in Fulton County were hoping they’d successfully put out the fire of the growing Fani Willis/Nathan Wade misuse of public funds scandal…it suddenly flared back up and roared back to majestic life.

About a week ago thanks to divorce proceedings Nathan Wade is engaged in with his ex-wife, the story had broken about Willis and Wade had spent thousands of dollars of public funds to take expensive trips and vacations together.

Georgia lawmakers took the allegations seriously and launched an investigation.

After watching several days of the Fake News Media’s desperate propaganda control as they attempted to contain and bury the scandal that was threatening to derail the Willis prosecution case against Trump and co-defendants, it looked like they’d made some progress when Wade’s ex-wife suddenly reached a settlement agreement with him.

An audible sigh of relief could be heard all the way from Atlanta as local officials relaxed and began contemplating how to get the national news coverage back to where it should be: focused on Willis and Wade’s attempts to send President Donald Trump to prison for the rest of his life.

AND THEN THE UNTHINKABLE HAPPENED.

A whistleblower approached the media outlet The Washington Free Beacon with a most damning 2 year old audio recording; a recording on which a former employee in Willis’ District Attorney’s office in Fulton County named Amanda Timpson can be heard informing her that her chief aide had been misusing federal grants to purchase ‘swag’ for himself and his cronies.

Timpson can be heard on the audiotape informing Willis that her top aide, a man named Michael Cuffy, was openly talking about spending a federal grant involving $400,000 on things like ‘swag’, ‘MacBooks’ and ‘travel’, despite the fact that Timpson repeatedly countered him by saying the funds could absolutely not be used for such things. Timpson stated that since she helped write the grant that was approved, she knew quite well that the funds could not be spent in the manner that Cuffy was describing.

Timpson goes on to relate to Willis how Cuffy was deeply resentful of the way she repeatedly challenged him on his plans for using the federal money, and that he was taking her off projects and telling people she was being insubordinate.

Instead of firing Cuffy for openly boasting to others about his plans to misuse the federal funds, it appears Willis waited 56 days and then fired Timpson instead, and Timpson claims not only was she given no reason for her firing, Willis **personally escorted her off the premises** that day.

Now, it could be that Timpson is just making all of this up as a way to retaliate against a former employer who fired her.

Of course, the flip side of that is that Timpson could also very well be telling the truth, and the fact that Willis might not have wanted an honest talkative employee in the Fulton District Attorney’s Office since she seems to have already embarked on her injudicious spending spree of public funds alongside her paramour occurs to my naturally conspiratorial mind.

The explosive revelation of this whistleblower audio tape is not the only big development when it comes to the pending RICO criminal trial that presidential candidate Trump is facing.

It was also announced today that one of the defendants named along with Trump in the absurd Fulton County RICO indictment, a man named Michael Roman, has just had his legal team subpoena both Willis and Wade to come answer questions about both their relationship and possible misuse of public funds.

From the NBC News report filed on Wednesday afternoon:

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade have been subpoenaed to testify at a Feb. 15 hearing about allegations that Willis has financially benefitted from Wade, her alleged romantic partner.

The subpoenas, first reported by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, were revealed in a lawsuit against the Fulton County district attorney’s office filed by Ashleigh Merchant, the lawyer for Trump co-defendant Michael Roman, who made the allegations about the relationship in an effort to have the charges dismissed.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, who’s overseeing the Trump election interference case, scheduled the Feb. 15 hearing to address Roman’s motion to dismiss the charges and the misconduct allegations against Willis and Wade.

When Roman and his lawyers first made their explosive legal filing a week back alleging an improper prior existing romantic relationship between Willis & Wade before she used her office to hire Wade to be the special prosecutor in the Trump case, a filing in which they asked for the judge to disqualify Willis from the case for prosecutorial misconduct, Trump’s own legal team quickly filed its own motion in agreement that Willis should be removed.

News media outlets scrambled to break the ‘bad news’ that the Trump case many were counting on to derail the Trump candidacy for the 2024 GOP nomination for President was **itself** about to be derailed.

And in my own research today, I discovered that Amanda Timpson appears to have sued both Fani Willis and the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office for wrongful termination in civil court.

Timpson filed her case in December of 2022 and on November 28, in the Georgia Northern District Court, Judge William M. Ray II granted Willis’ motion to dismiss the case with prejudice. That means Timpson’s claims can’t be reintroduced in a new filing. It appears her chance at proving her case was ended forever.

It appears that Timpson included plenty of exhibits as she sought to make her case to the judge that she’d been wrongfully terminated by her former employer. There are 21 exhibits in the case file, but I am currently unable to determine if the explosive audiotape where Timpson discusses Cuffy’s plans for misusing federal funds is among these exhibits.

Assuming Timpson’s audiotape is included in this list of exhibits in a wrongful termination case that was dismissed with prejudice by Judge Ray, it should be pointed out while such a dismissal with prejudice means Timpson can’t seek any further legal recourse in court, absolutely nothing prevented her from taking that audiotape and giving it to a news media outlet.

Which is what she did. Is Judge Ray and Fani Willis and Nathan Wade going to regret Timpson’s having done that once the courthouse door was slammed shut in her face?

We’ll have to wait and see how this story develops.
