Day 941 – Choking on Their Own Spit

Thursday, August 17, 2023

As I finished reading through the rest of the Fani Willis indictment I was struck by how serious the crimes were that were committed. I kept thinking of Sidney Powell when she was giving testimony to the January 6th Committee. How she looked nothing like she did when she was at the press conferences before and how she told the committee “all I did” kind of stuff, that when you stopped and thought about it was crazy. Or Peter Navarro talking about the “Green Bay Sweep.” What Fani Willis did was to call what was done criminal. “All I did” was forgery, making false statements, defrauding the state and the People of Georgia.

I thought about how it is important for the conspiracy theorists to have something like QAnon because they need grist. Without it they would whither and die.

The problem Powell, Giuliani, Trump and the others have is that they tell each other the same lies over and over again, until they believe it. Then they go out and try to prove those lies and that’s where the rubber meets the road and they got nothing. So they have to find new lies to tell. otherwise they will choke on their own spit, which is what is happening in Georgia.

When I read the indictments I was struck by how criminal and how stupid it was.

I think many of these people have gotten away with telling lies for so long and not being held to account that they thought they could just keep doing it. 

Okay, moving on, or at least sideways. I heard Keisha Bottoms, the former Atlanta mayor, talk about Fani Willis. They had worked together in a law office. She said it was the kind of place where you’d be pleading a case in the morning and unjamming the copier in the afternoon. Fani has done defense work and prosecutor work. Her dad was a lawyer and she used to go into his office as a kid and help out, filing and typing and stuff like that. In other words, she’s done it all, worked her way up and oh yeah tried some of the biggest RICO case ever. She’s got one going right now against a rapper called Young Thug, who has a gang called Young Slim Life (YSL), and his buddy Gunna. Seems if you act like a criminal, you might just be a criminal. It’s a 181 count indictment and the trial has been going on for eight months. Hum, Donnie might be busy.

Oh, and in a really weird thing – The Fulton County sheriff says he’ll treat everyone the same: book ‘em, mug shot, fingerprints. What? Don’t you realize who were talking about here? Young Thug, Donnie T doesn’t matter.

As I was picking my second round of figs yesterday I kept saying in my mind, “Fani don’t play.”
