New Evidence: Proposed Testimony on Obstruction of Justice in Fani Willis Case
The fiasco in Fulton County continues. A new witness, Cobb County Co-Chief Deputy District Attorney Cindi Lee Yeager, has emerged in Fulton County DA Fani Willis’ disqualification case. The witness’ proposed testimony shows that Willis may have engaged in obstruction of justice regarding testimony about her alleged improper relationship with Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade.
Yeager’s testimony would directly contradict Willis’ timeline. Will the Georgia judge allow this testimony before deciding whether Willis will be removed from her case against President Donald Trump for 2020 election interference?
Fox News reports on the proposed testimony:
A co-defendant in the 2020 Georgia election interference case says a new witness is prepared to testify against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should evidence be re-opened in her disqualification proceedings.
David Shafer, a former Georgia Republican Party chair, filed a notice of proposed testimony in Fulton County Superior Court announcing that Cindi Lee Yeager, a co-chief deputy district attorney for Cobb County, stands ready to appear as a witness, FOX 5 Atlanta reported.
According to the filing, Yeager claims to have had “numerous” interactions with the defense’s star witness, Terrence Bradley, and can corroborate his claims that Willis began an affair with special prosecutor Nathan Wade years earlier than they both claimed.
Cobb County is the next county over from Fulton County. Yeager was watching the Willis hearing and realized she could provide more evidence for the trial.
Her accumulated evidence shows that in September 2023, Willis called key witness Terrence Bradley to discuss an article criticizing how much Wade had been paid – almost $700k – to serve as Special Prosecutor in the Trump election interference case.
Here’s where the testimony gets very interesting. Yeager overheard DA Willis telling Bradley, “They are coming after us. You don’t need to talk to them about anything about us.”
Yeager then watched Bradley give completely contradictory testimony to what she overheard Willis telling Bradley – that’s when she decided to come forward with her testimony. Folks, if true, this is obstruction of justice.
ACLJ Senior Counsel Andy Ekonomou expounded further on Willis’ telling Bradley not to testify:
This is a serious infraction of the law by no less than the District Attorney for Fulton County when she finds out that they’re worried about how much Wade was being paid in the case. She tells Bradley, “They’re coming after us. So you don’t need to talk to them about anything about us.” What are you talking about? You’re supposed to be the District Attorney. . . . You don’t tell them to shut up . . . unless you’ve got something to hide. . . . But what bothers me more than anything is this is coming from a District Attorney who is an officer of the court and who is making these statements to a third party.
If true, Yeager’s proposed testimony is very disturbing. Just to be clear, it’s not hearsay because DA Willis is the respondent in the case and can be cross-examined. It provides an exception to the hearsay rule and is fully admissible in court.
Yeager had a responsibility to provide testimony after she witnessed what she believed to be untruthful testimony. So just a few days later, Yeager compiled her evidence and submitted it.
Willis should be getting nervous about what’s unfolded in the last couple of weeks. She needs to be concerned about her bar license, a possible perjury charge based on her testimony on the witness stand, and obstruction of justice.
A case that was originally against President Donald Trump has become the Fani Willis trial. President Trump’s defense attorneys have adeptly and adroitly made their defense a trial of the prosecution – and the prosecution might be guilty of committing several bad acts, some of which might be criminal in nature.
To be clear, it’s not the judge’s responsibility in the Willis case to make a criminal determination regarding Willis’ conduct. He only needs to rule if Willis should be disqualified from the Trump case for an act of impropriety or even the appearance of impropriety and the undermining of the criminal justice system. If need be, the Governor will appoint another prosecutor to examine if Willis is guilty of any crimes.
Will the prosecution be held accountable? Willis and Wade should resign immediately, but I don’t see this case being resolved anytime soon.
