Fani Willis is now learning a big lesson about pulling a tiger by the tail.
She went for the limelight by going after Trump with her RICO-election fraud case against Trump, but now she is doing the media circuit about how she claims to need 24/7 security and having been forced from her home.

The moment that Donald Trump announced that he was running for election in 2024, he put a target on his head for every liberal prosecutor in the country, several of whom ran on a platform to take Trump down. Fulton County DA Fani Willis quickly joined the rush to go after Trump, putting together a RICO case against Donald Trump and nearly two dozen co-defendants.
It became apparent very early on that Willis constructed her case so that she could care less if any of the other defendants spent a single day behind bars. They were merely indicted to create leverage against Donald Trump. Several plea deals were made in the early going, with all the defendants agreeing to testify for the prosecution against Trump if called upon.
Then, the bottom started to fall out of Willis’ case when it was revealed that her lover, Nathan Wade, was hired on to the case and made a far superior wage than a RICO expert who had been called in to assist with it. Suddenly, this case appeared to be nothing more than a conduit for Willis to line his pockets. She was also hit with fraud allegations from an office whistleblower, bringing even more attention to Willis and her case against Trump.
Willis recently appeared on MSNBC with Rachel Maddow, telling Maddow that her life has been turned upside down since her indictment of Trump. Maddow, of course, gushed over Willis and her “courage” to go after Trump, also asking Willis how she was holding up under the “remarkably threatening environment” and “threat of violence” against her right now. Willis responded:
“Thank you for asking, not many people ask about what is the personal journey that’s been going on.
"And it really hasn’t been happening in the past year. It’s been happening about a month after I took office.”
She continued:
“The threats have certainly been about lots of different kinds of cases that I’ve prosecuted. People are very happy with that because of some recent cases that, most of them are racial in nature. It has caused me to leave my home.
“Financially, I’m paying for, you know, my mortgage cause I refuse to give up the home where I raised my children, but also paying for another establishment. And I have 24-hour, really, protection around me. So, it’s a very, uh, interesting way to live, but it’s well worth it to have the honor of being the first female district attorney in Fulton County.”
Willis has tried to make this about race from the outset, saying that all of the criticisms against her office are only because she is a strong black woman, which is utterly ridiculous. The criticisms are because she appears to have broken the law as well as possibly abusing her power as a DA.
This is all about getting empathy for Willis, much like the media is now doing with Joe Biden over the Hunter Biden case. It’s election season, so the Dems need to pull out all the stops to make the right look like murdering maniacs who cannot be trusted. My guess here is that it is only a matter of time before someone starts a GoFundMe page to help Willis due to the “financial hardship” she is now facing for having to pay for additional security and being “forced” from her home.
