She blamed others instead of taking responsibility for using taxpayer money for her rendezvous with a prosecutor she selected to work with her on taxpayer money. And then she claims that criticism of her actions are "racism". Give it a rest lady. You got caught and didn't think you would.Sorry I missed it ( not sorry)
DA defends qualifications of a prosecutor hired in Trump’s Georgia election case
Fani Willis pushed back against critics
Agree with you. This does NOT belong in church - in God's house. Nothing political does, and in fact, the IRS Code doesn't permit political activity for a 501c3 organization.
Those of us who actually understand how the law works understand that abiding by IRS regs matters. The IRS prohibits political partisan speech or activity in Church for a 501c3 organization. Churches and other 501(c)(3) organizations have been prohibited from supporting specific political candidates since the passage of the Johnson Amendment in 1954.
It was all political.
It was all political.
"Willis made her remarks Sunday at the Big Bethel A.M.E. Church in Atlanta, six days after one of Trump’s 14 remaining co-defendants accused her of having an improper romantic relationship with Wade that was serious enough to have them both thrown off the case.
Without mentioning him by name, Willis said Wade was not only a “great friend” but an experienced and well-respected lawyer with the “impeccable” credentials needed to be a special prosecutor overseeing the sprawling racketeering case.
Willis talked about how she hired two other lawyers – a white man and a white woman – to also help her prosecute Trump and his co-defendants on charges of trying to illegally overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia that Trump lost to Democrat Joe Biden."
Then instead of admitting maybe she didn't do the right thing since she decided to talk about it FROM THE PULPIT, she accused those who questioned her of racism and made excuses.
Georgia DA Fani Willis breaks silence over Donald Trump case prosecutor
Breaking a long silence, the Fulton County DA doesn't say whether she had an improper relationship with the lawyer she hired to prosecute Trump.www.usatoday.com
I "perceive" it...what? She literally spoke from the pulpit about a case against a political candidate she is trying and the prosecutors involved and excused her actions. She speaks at length about the case and the prosecutors she hired, including the one who has never handled felonies, with whom his wife has stated her husband was buying plane tickets for he and Fani Willis to travel together.
Oh she campaigned for herself, excusing herself in every possible way as she discussed this case. She made comments about it and posted this on Twitter:
Ban on political activity. Not just ban on promoting candidates.Unless she is actively campaining for public office (for herself or someone else) from the pulpit, I don't think its a violation of 501C.
IRS:
Currently, the law prohibits political campaign activity by charities and churches by defining a 501(c)(3) organization as one "which does not participate in, or intervene in (including the publishing or distributing of statements), any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office."
