Fani Willis initially objected to testifying, but changed her mind at the last minute. Everyone seems to agree that things did not go well for her. Politico’s account is here. MSNBC offered a legal scholar who said that “This is not going well for the state [i.e., Fani Willis].” He suggested that “it might be appropriate for Ms. Willis to consider removing herself from this case now and turn the reins over to a senior official in the district attorney’s office and have him or her handle it.” ...

For some reason, CNN posted the first 11 minutes of Fani Willis’s testimony today. She is an awful witness, every trial lawyer’s nightmare if she is your client. What is striking to me about Ms. Willis is her sense of entitlement. Here she is, trying to put a former President of the United States, and the current favorite to be re-elected President of the United States, in prison. And in doing so, she takes the opportunity to slide the better part of a million dollars to her illicit, still married boyfriend, to her own pecuniary benefit. And she is shocked that anyone notices.
