I am newish to facebook and the only way I know to see someone's earlier posts is to scroll and scroll and scroll. But I'm on the website, not the app, and my screen refreshes before I get very far. Is there a better way to see a long-ago post? TIA for tech assistance.

I found it. It finally dawned on me Fani Willis' Facebook page is public so I don't need an account to scroll through it. Anyone can! Thanks for patience.

On Nov 3, 2020, Willis posted a link to a yahoo article about the watermain and her caption was: "Why Fulton?"

Absentee ballot counting in Georgia's most populous county delayed 4 hours after a water pipe burst

Georgia is a critical swing state that President Donald Trump won in 2016 by just over five points and likely needs to hold this year.

Her next post is from Nov 4, 2020:
"Thank you Fulton County for your trust, support, and confidence! I'm honored to serve as your next Fulton County District Attorney."#ANEWDAy

No worries, I found it. Anyone can, it just took me awhile to realize Fani Willis' page is public and anyone can look at it.

I imagine a whole lot of attorneys are going to be all over this because it certainly looks a lil fraudy. If he did sign it over it could be construed as an attempt of hiding assets.

JMO

Maybe he "sold" it to the corporation to pull the $$$ out so any of his gazillion attorneys might actually get paid??

I am totally comfortable being corrected.

@BayouBelle_LA I found the heavy.com and it does indeed show that social media post! I stand corrected and apologize.

I still say he gets off scot free, money and lawyers do that in our system.

He's been allowed to bully and buy his way out of trouble most of his adult life so I really hope you're wrong. In less than a decade though: his foundation was dissolved pursuant to investigations into fraudulent activities and its $1.7 million distributed to multiple charities; he paid a $25 million dollar settlement over fraud at Trump University; Trump Organization was fined $1.6 million and convicted on 17 felony counts; he was found liable and ordered to pay $5 million to E. Jean Carroll for sexual abuse and defamation.

He now faces a $250 million lawsuit from the New York Attorney General for fraud; another lawsuit from E. Jean Carroll over comments he made while president that the DOJ were initially shielding him from; a lawsuit from officers and lawmakers in relation to January 6th; a lawsuit over promoting a multi-level marketing scam on "The Celebrity Apprentice"; former fixer Michael Cohen suing for $20 million in damages; and a little covered copyright suit seeking $300k.

He's been indicted 5 times (including the FL superceding indictment) on 91 felony counts. The documents case is a wildcard because, duh, Florida but I'd lean towards conviction there too because it's pretty black and white. Absolutely will be convicted in New York because the evidence is there to do it - they have all the business records. And for both the J6 indictment and Georgia his only defense is a political one not a legal one - he will very likely have to take the stand - and he has a lot of folks happy to toss him under the bus as the leader of a criminal enterprise who really don't want to go to prison for him. And the indictments in those two cases allude to STRONG cases against him. (Not to mention, I think political persecution is a hard sell when the majority of witnesses against him will be republicans.)

So, could he still skate? Sure. Anything can happen. But I really believe, perhaps foolishly, that Trump is running out of road.

My prediction is he will file motions and appeals for the rest of his life....and that will be the extent of it.

Sarah Palin weighs in. I hate to give her space, but I think she speaks for many, so forewarned and all that.

Sarah Palin Warns of Civil War After Trump Arrest: 'We Do Need to Rise Up' (Video)

Sarah Palin alluded to potential civil war after Donald Trump's arrest and booking in Georgia on Thursday.

www.thewrap.com

“I think of those who are conducting this travesty and creating this two-tiered system of justice and I want to ask them, ‘What the heck? Do you want us to be in civil war?’ Because that’s what’s going to happen,” Palin said. “We’re not going to keep putting up with this. And Eric, I like that you suggested that we need to get angry. We do need to rise up and take our country back.”

From the article:
Former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin alluded to potential civil war Thursday, lashing out at not just Democrats going after prosecuting Donald Trump but also to the “bunch of frickin’ RINOs” running the Republican Party for not defending Trump enough.

“We do need to rise up and take our country back,” Palin told Newsmax host Eric Bolling, asserting that the prosecution of Trump could be leading the country into a violent split.



Irresponsible for Ms. Palin to plant (make a statement) a seed like that. Didn’t expect anything different from her ... she did not disappoint. Moo & Speculation

But appeals require convictions so I'm down with that. I've never believed Trump would be in prison stripes - not unless they have him totally isolated.

That’s all well and good, but this is a distraction just to attack Fani Willis. I call DARVO again, being used here to defend Trump and Co by attacking Fani Willis.
https://www.verywellmind.com/protecting-yourself-from-darvo-abusive-behavior-7562730#:~:text=“DARVO%20is%20an%20acronym%20that,and%20Reverse%20Victim%20and%20Offender.

Please remember that a special grand jury investigated the election interference and found numerous people ”worthy” of indictment. That was followed by a regular grand jury who also investigated and actually indicted 19, including Trump. Fani Willis called the grand juries into sessions, but the good citizens of Fulton county could have decided not to indict, despite Willis’s politics.

This thread is about those indictments, not about Fani Willis.

This news article was written 2+ hours ago. Quite a few conservative publications have also carried the story so it is likely many millions of people have read it.

While this left-leaning publication, Newsweek, doesn't think the postings will hurt her case, I think at least one juror will believe Willis' agenda is purely political. I believe it and I'm an Independent voter.

Viral post alleges Fani Willis questioned Georgia election results

A supporter of former President Donald Trump posted a viral thread highlighting Fani Willis' Facebook posts about elections in 2018 and 2020.

www.newsweek.com

The posts appear to come from an account that Willis used until 2022. Newsweek reached out to the Fulton County Court Clerk for confirmation.

The initial tweet by Johnson, which has been viewed 2.7 million times, said that "Willis regularly questioned election results & used her office to push unfounded election conspiracies."

 

[BritsKate]

Well, I really doubt he'd use the Trump Organization to hide any assets because he has a court appointed babysitter to oversee its financials after he was caught moving money around after the New York fraud suit was filed.

I also don't see him selling his most beloved asset to pay his lawyers - if he wanted to sell property for cash he's got a lot to choose from and he's not exactly hurting for donors either. But considering that estate is his crown jewel, I could totally see him signing it over to his son just to ensure it isn't seen as a financial asset. I'd be curious what a lawyer might say about asset forfeiture too.

NEW: a judge just denied bond for Harrison Floyd, one of the 19 Fulton County defendants. Appearing by video from jail, he said “there’s no way that I’m a flight risk, ma’am. I showed up before the president was here.”

Oh wow!
Off to google, I want to know why.

...
He's scary because he amends his belief system when it is advantageous to him.
...

RSBM.

Sadly, he's not the only one suspending (or pretzeling as I call it) their belief system or their words when they feel it's advantageous to them, or Trump, or to excuse his alleged crimes against "We the People".

Thank goodness that justice doesn't hang in the balance based on popularity contests, but rather deals with facts.

Optics are everything and even the Judge went after DA Willis for her political bias.

As the Judge noted in the link:

“It’s a ‘What are you thinking?’ moment,” Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney said, according to CNN. “The optics are horrific.”

“Using the title of your office and having on social media that you, as this political office holder, are holding a fundraiser for the opponent of someone that this political office is investigating, I don’t know that it’s an actual conflict, but I use that phrase: ‘What were you thinking?’” the judge said.
