Willis is facing fresh allegations of abdicating her responsibilities after a newly surfaced audio recording revealed a whistleblower privately warned in November 2021 that her top campaign aide was attempting to misuse federal funds, according to the Washington Free Beacon.

I am not surprised.

There's no real protection for whistleblowers. People don't really want them.

The whistleblower sued back in 2022 but I don’t know the outcome. It is possible for two separate things to be true - that she was a genuine whistleblower and a poor performer as an employee. It’s also possible for neither to be true. So far, most the reporting is from the Washington Examiner and the like.

Was Cuffman guilty? If so, did he face any repercussions?

Yes, it would be a good idea for major media news outlets to cover the story. They should investigate. But like the border, they may ignore it or spin it as long as they can.

It’s almost as if the GOP is scrambling desperately for dirt to stick to AG Willis because they know what Trump did to try to cling to power was illegal and they cannot face a real and fair trial. Rather than defend the indefensible they attack the representative of the Law.

This has become their go-to trick: attack the judges, attack the legal institutions, attack the prosecutors, attack our government.

You’re right that major media ought to investigate this MAGA smear campaign.

Well, whistleblowers are important people. Without whistleblowers, we would have never known about the NSA tapping phones, or how the EPA hid information about how dust can impact first responders who responded to the 9/11 terror attacks.

NYT has a paywall, so here is the EPA whistleblower on the Guardian: EPA scientist who warned of caustic dust from Ground Zero wins job back

It's not even a trick when these politicians attack our institutions, judges and prosecutors. It's just deplorable and lazy. Not to mention an abdication of their oaths of office. They have abandoned all pretense of actual legislation to help constituents because they are not qualified for such endeavors.

None of which disproves the allegations against Ms. Fani. Should the allegations against Ms. Fani be kept quiet?

No, they shouldn’t. But folks would do well to separate her failings in these regards from any perceived unfairness to Trump in his trial. Willis being a poor AG should make Trump’s position safer.

Should unproven allegations be kept quiet or blasted by talking heads as though they were uncontroversially so?

Perhaps there is a middle ground?

Snowden: The case of Edward Snowden - National Whistleblower Center

True...but Snowden is hiding from the US government in Moscow. Nobody is demanding he be allowed to return and not face prosecution.

Even at the time, because it was the Bush administration, conservatives who today might look at him as a hero....were calling him a traitor. Liberals were celebrating his courage.

Now you have 3 IRS agents essentially coming out and saying the DOJ prevented them from investigating evidence of money laundering...and they get ignored/dismissed by the left. You have FBI agents saying there's no real white supremacist threat but they're incorrectly categorizing arrests as domestic terrorism to fit the current political narrative....careers get ruined, reputations get smeared.

If a whistleblower comes forth and exposes the corruption or crimes of the people you support....you should support that whistleblower and demand the issue is addressed properly. It makes the people you support more honest and less criminal.

Well due process requires the idea that your prosecution is motivated by the evidence of the crime....not some large cash incentives.

If there's sufficient evidence for the charges....it's a very simple process of removing Fani and getting a new AG and prosecutor. If the problem with this is that it doesn't prevent Trump from campaigning and pushes the case further back on a timeline....that's not a valid reason for prosecution. Again, it's supposed to be a result of the evidence....not a strategy for political goals.

The grand jury found enough evidence for nineteen indictments.

I'm not sure what you're talking about...

You don't think politicians should expose wrongdoing in the justice system?



It's just deplorable and lazy. Not to mention an abdication of their oaths of office.

It's a requirement of their duties. It's a fundamental part of the separation of powers in the federal government.

If the executive branch or judiciary are doing something wrong or illegal, the legislative branch is supposed to take action.

Well, if you read the post to which I replied it would give you a frame of reference. It is not their duty to continue undermining American institutions. The wrongdoing being exposed belongs to Comer, Jordan and their Trump stumpers! Such action they are taking oh my. So much action it's our least productive congress since Hoover administration during the great depression. The irony.

The Trump case is a RICO case that alleges violation of Georgia state law. Jim Jordan represents Ohio in a federal chamber of our government. We Americans believe our federal chambers should mind their business and do the federal job we pay them to do. I mean Jim already earned his Presidential Medal of Corruption. Biden ain't giving him another lol.

Regarding Willis and these allegations, if Georgia finds cause to remove her from the case that is certainly their prerogative. Why should I have a problem? I'm in favor of following the law. And we don't need to argue about every single thing. So I think it's a push haha.

I did.

I'm not sure how this undermines the justice system. If anything, removing possible influences and biases not related to the case is a good thing.

Well....again, we've got a lot of people blowing whistles. I don't think that should be ignored.


So much action it's our least productive congress since Hoover administration during the great depression. The irony.

What exactly were you hoping they would do?

If you're going to throw every case imaginable at the former president....why wouldn't they attempt to hold the current one accountable for his crimes?

They've never prosecuted a former president....and they're all criminals.


The Trump case is a RICO case that alleges violation of Georgia state law.

Right.

Jim Jordan represents Ohio in a federal chamber of our government.

Uh huh.


We Americans believe our federal chambers should mind their business and do the federal job we pay them to do. I mean Jim already earned his Presidential Medal of Corruption. Biden ain't giving him another lol.

I don't know what that means.


If someone working for her says she misused federal funding....you don't think anyone should look into that or what?

Sure, it's what investigators do though.
Jordan is supposedly a legislator. His purvey now is the myriad problems affecting all Americans, which they would rather divert our attention from than work to solve. And his investigational skills are questionable anyhow. Apparently some abuse occurred under his purvey as a wrestling coach. We deserve better than this middle school quality performance from congress. Let Georgia handle their system without the unnecessary interference that conservatives supposedly despise.

Sure...but those who should be investigating aren't.

Unless the DOJ has opened a case I don't know about.

Yeah?

You mean purvue?

Well it's federal funding. I don't know if the state can audit that. It would require the federal government, under Biden, to investigate.

All whistleblowers should be listened to, and fact checked by an independent organization, not affiliated with the right or left. Then, we will get a clearer picture of what is actually going on in our society.
