Reflections on the Fani Willis Disqualification Hearing in Georgia

One of the unyielding pleasures, in viewing MSNBC commentary on the Fani Willis disqualification hearing, is MSNBC’s fanatical belief that strong, independent, educated, flamboyant Black women cannot be corrupt.

Growing up in Brooklyn, amid Mafioso, one learns again and again that no race, or gender, or educational level, or religion is immune from corruption. Corruption is an equal opportunity disease, like the plague.

Fani Willis is the strong, Black, independent, female District Attorney, in Fulton County, Georgia; who loves all cash transactions. Who knew strong, Black, independent female District Attorneys have the same aversion to paper trails, as Mafioso and drug cartels.

Ms. Willis, in her capacity as District Attorney, brought a case against former President Donald Trump and a host of his associates, for trying to steal Georgia’s electoral votes in the 2020 election, in a most clumsy fashion.

The case should have been a slam dunk; for President Trump was on tape asking for unseemly and untoward favors from Georgia’s election officials.

Alas, while trying to bring down an ex-President, DA Willis engaged in an all cash transactional sexual relationship with a lawyer; she had hired as a Special Prosecutor, Nathan Wade.

One of Trump’s codefendants caught wind of the affair; and filed a motion to disqualify Ms. Willis, Mr. Wade and her team, from bringing the Trump Case to conclusion.

In Georgia, the land of RHETT BUTLER and SCARLETT O’ HARA; having an affair with a subordinate you hired,, is not cause for being disqualified from serving as a prosecutor on any case.

However, if the sexual relationship between the two consenting adult prosecutors led to financial benefit for the lovers; then the lovers can be disqualified.

Ms. Willis stated, under oath, that she did not begin to sleep with Mr. Wade until after she hired him; after they spent those long sweaty nights together, over law books.

However, if Ms. Willis and Mr. Wade were fornicating amid law books, before she hired him; that puts a whole different tone and appearance of impropriety on the situation.

Why?

For once Mr. Wade was hired, he sat in on the interviews, for the rest of the Prosecutorial team and had vital input, on who was and who was not hired.

Surprisingly, Mr. Wade hired two of his law firm associates as Prosecutors, Mr. Bradley and Mr. Campbell. They were in fact his law partners; each owned a third of the law firm..

As their invoices piled up and were paid by Fulton County, Mr. Wade, being their law partner, in a law firm with three partners, Wade, Bradley and Campbell, received from all their remittances, ONE THIRD OFTHEIR EARNINGS.

In the ole Mafioso run Brooklyn, the practice of hiring your friends for kickbacks was called FEATHERBEDDING.

Did Fani Willis partake in getting a kickback from the monies paid to Bradley and Campbell….or even Wade?

Who knows?

And Fulton County taxpayers may never find out because Ms. Willis only deals with cash; so, there is no paper trail. Unless……the Atlanta Police Department gets a warrant and seizes all the 100 dollar bills Ms. Willis has stashed in her different houses; dusts them and discovers Mr. Wade’s, or Mr. Bradley’s or Mr. Campbell’s fingerprints on the Benjamin Franklins.

Justice not only has to be just, but MUST have an appearance of propriety in its dispensation.

Massive amounts of cash lying around a DA’s home does not lend credence to the appearance of Ms. Willis’ financial propriety.

Ms. Willis should be disqualified.

The Urination Of Nicole Kidman's Career

I went to see EYES WIDE SHUT in total awe of its Director, Stanley Kubrick, who had in his career Directed THE GREATEST Science Fiction/Cosmological film EVER- 2001, SPACE ODYSSEY, the BEST and MOST INSIGHTFUL film essay on American culture EVER- LOLITA, arguably the greatest war movie ever- PATHS OF GLORY, and one of the best film epics ever- SPARTACUS. Mr. Kubrick died SUDDENLY, before EYES WIDE SHUT was released. Everyone was so sad. Then I saw EYES WIDE SHUT, and understood exactly why Herr Director Kubrick had croaked so suddenly; he had willed himself to death before the release of the film, so that he would not have to suffer the slings and shots against his declining genius. EYES WIDE SHUT is the WORST, laughably worst, porn film ever made, EVER. It starred that larger than life couple(at the time), Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. The key scene in the film was Ms. Kidman peeing. I was spending over $60.00(including tickets,parking and snacks for me and my date ) to watch

The Crash of Flight 447: Fate, Moliere and Veronique Gaignard

In 1954 there was the film, THE HIGH AND THE MIGHTY about danger in the air; that was followed by the 1964 film, FATE IS THE HUNTER about a fatal airplane crash and the followup investigation; followed by the 1970 film, AIRPORT, about a bomber on a plane, starring every living star in Hollywood at the time; followed by the sequels, AIRPORT 75, AIRPORT 77, AIRPORT 79- THE CONCORDE. All that melodramatic danger in the air was laughed to death by the films AIRPLANE in 1980, followed by AIRPLANE II in 1982. Everything in air flight had been covered, both the tragedy and the comedy of air travel, until Air France Flight 447. Flight 447 was the Air France Airbus Flight from Brazil to France, which,in 2009, crashed in the South Atlantic , killing all on board,228 passengers. Airbuses fly by wire, which means they fly by computers rather than the old mechanical ways. Very up to date, except when something goes awry, then it seems it is very difficult to set right.

Roger Cohen's Russian Think Piece in NEW YORK TIMES Begs the Question: Was Gerry Maxey Right about Russia TEN YEARS AGO?

This Blogger respects Russians; as Frederick the Great stated :” It takes two bullets to take a Russian soldier out; one to kill him and one to stop him.” This Blogger likes Russians; even though once, in Moscow, during the Soviet era, his incredibly attractive tour guide, aka KGB agent, told him and his brother that they were in danger of being hit, fatally, by a Soviet car crossing a Moscow street. T his Blogger’s brother told her that he had ridden in a Soviet Car, the LADA; and that he could damn well survive any hit by that piece of junk. She laughed. That night, this Blogger’s brother slept in his room, under his bed, drunk. This Blogger admires the way Russians do business; when Soviet diplomats were kidnapped in Lebanon, the KGB paid the ransoms immediately, without complaint. Shortly thereafter, Beirut was flooded with Soviet agents and Soviet bribes; the kidnappers were identified. They were abducted, tortured and castrated; their dead bodies strung from l
