You all want to intimidate people from doing the right thing and you think that you're going to intimidate me, but you see, I'm not Marjorie Taylor Greene. I ain't gonna quit in a month because somebody threatens me. Did you hear what Fulton County District Attorney Fawnee Willis said there? She goes, I'm not going to be intimidated like Marjorie Taylor Greene because you're threatened me. If you think you're going to make me quit, I ain't going to quit. So Fulton County District Attorney Fawnee Willis attended a hearing that she was compelled to show up at within the Georgia State Senate, the MAGA Republicans on the Georgia State Senate wanted to bring Fawnee Willis there to attack her, to try to attack her credibility, but Fawnee Willis turned the tables on the MAGA Republicans in that Senate. I'm going to show you a portion of this hearing that took place last week. And by the way, I apologize for not bringing you this hearing. Last week was a few days ago when this hearing took place the 17th and I should have been covering it, but better late than ever because this is some explosive stuff right here. And I know you probably missed it. So here you have a MAGA Republican Senator start to try to cross examine Fawnee Willis. And she's just incredibly, you know, pushes back and stands on business and says, you know what, first off, you're asking me pretty dumb questions. He goes, that's a dumb ass question. He just asked me, but let me explain to you what went down where people commit crimes in this jurisdiction, where people are criminals and in Fulton County. My job is to prosecute them. I would do it again. They're criminals, Trump's a criminal. The co-conspirators are criminals. And I'm not scared. And I'm not intimidated by you. Here, watch this incredible clip right here. Let's play it. When did you begin to consider whether to bring charges in response to the 2020 presidential election in Georgia? Don't answer that. That's a deliberative privilege. Don't answer that. I instruct you not. Is it true that part of your transition team was involved in the process of interviewing people before you entered office to lead the investigation to the 2020 presidential election? I'd like to answer that. Go right ahead. You only take my advice sometimes. That's really an ignorant question. And if you understand what the word ignorant means, it means the lack of knowledge. If you recall the facts, I was already district attorney when this all came to light. So it's factually impossible. You were district attorney when what came to light. When reference burger went on, good morning America or whatever show we went on, I was already district attorney. So what you ask is a factual impossibility. Now I know they've gotten black folks confused and said I was running for office saying I was going to prosecute the president of the United States, but that's what we call a lie. Okay, I would like to hear on that. Okay, yeah. If you take a look at the screen for me, if you will, this is from Mr. Wade's deposition to members of Jim Jordan's committee. And he was asked for the search committee. You said that began when DA Willis took office on January 1, 2021. Is that correct? Yes. And there was outreach to you to be part of the search committee prior to January 2021, January 1, 2021. Absolutely. When did that start? Sometime after the election, but prior to her taking office. Okay. So between the election, you referred to November 2020 election. Is that correct? Yes, ma'am. And so when you had conversations with individuals, you said on multiple occasions, you said, who said, you said no, and you turned down the position who were those conversations with they were with the district attorney. So I think you're confusing facts. We've already had a long conversation about I interviewed everybody at the DA's office and I interviewed other people to come and work at the district attorney's office. And as I told you, I did that on my free time before I became DA, but I had no way of knowing that these criminals were going to commit a crime. And that did not come to light until January of 2021, when I'm actually the DA. So it is a factual impossibility. Like I already told you, I think that that is misinterpreted. He's absolutely correct. We looked for talent for the district attorney's office before I became the DA. I didn't wait
