‘Look, If You Are Sleeping With a Prosecutor’: ‘The View’ Blasts Fani Willis for Jeopardizing Trump Case

Just for fun, let’s first cut to the chase — and then run through the rest of the story.

The geniuses of ABC’s “The View” were mighty pissed off at Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis on Friday, calling her out for potentially jeopardizing the case against former President Donald Trump for allegedly trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Willis is facing allegations that she had an unethical sexual relationship with the special counsel she assigned to prosecute the case against the former president.

The probably-not-Mensa-members co-hosts went back and forth something fierce, as they twisted themselves into anguished pretzels over the whole sordid thing.

Professional race hustler Sonny Hostin kicked off the festivities — first, by declaring that she didn’t think the allegations against Willis would compromise the case against Trump, one way or the other.

I don’t think the allegations are going to compromise the case against him….So, even if she resigns and even if he resigns, there’s just going to be two perhaps even better prosecutors to take their place. So, that’s not the issue.

Wait — did Hostin suggest that Willis was likely guilty, as alleged? Yes. After accidentally suggesting that Willis had slept with Special Counsel Nathan Wade, she panicked — and attempted to deny what she’d just said.

Well, I think the issue is, [that] there is an appearance of impropriety if you are sleeping as the district attorney — if you are, allegedly!

Joy Behar jumped in with: “She doesn’t admit to that,” leading Hostin to double down:

She’s not admitting to that! If you are sleeping with your special counsel that you appointed to a job and that person makes money doing that. Right? So, that’s a problem.

Huh? Never mind.

Hostin then went back and forth with co-host Ana Navarro after Navarro said:

Look, if you are sleeping with a prosecutor and paying him $650,000…

“If, if, allegedly,” Hostin shot back.

Unfazed, Navarro continued to make her point.

If? Okay, if. It doesn’t matter if you’re black, white, green, purple, [or] brown, it is wrong … it is unethical and I think it’s against the rules of professional regulation.

Token pretend Republican Alyssa Farrah Griffin then jump in to explain why she was “pissed off about this.”

[One of her] best friends, Cassidy Hutchinson spent months in Atlanta protected by U.S. Marshals to testify for this case. And now it may all fall apart because [of] these allegations of impropriety.

Genius stuff, right? Navarro shot back:

I’m very pissed off too. Because when you are a woman of color in such a high-profile position, you know that the scrutiny that is going to befall you is greater than on anybody else. And she needed to have kept her house clean.

That’s enough of the silliness, but what wasn’t silly was Hostin’s obsession with Trump.

He is clearly a criminal in my view. And prosecutors – We used to say prosecutors were like roaches. Like, you get rid of two, and like ten more show up. So, even if she resigns and even if he resigns there’s just going to be two perhaps even better prosecutors to take their place. 

[…]

[T]he other thing we need to remember is this is probably one of the strongest cases against Trump, and she asked two other much more qualified lawyers to take it on and they did not want to. I would not want to take this job on. You know what it’s like to cross Trump. You get death threats. Your family gets death threats. What lawyer wants to do that?

She went — actually to a lawyer that I know who is a former federal prosecutor, his name is Gabe — what’s his last name? [Checks her notes] Gabe Banks. He’s turned it down. She went to Roy Barnes who was a former governor of Georgia, one of the state’s premier lawyers, who I know. He turned it down. And then she settled on this other guy. He doesn’t have that much experience prosecuting RICO cases and prosecuting this kind of case. This is the best she got.

Stage 4 Trump Derangement Syndrome, gang. Hostin couldn’t give a damn whether or not Willis had an affair with Gabe Banks. All she cares about is Trump being convicted of something — regardless of what it might be.

The Bottom Line

As is usually the case when I write about “The View,” I came away from this piece somewhat perplexed. The only thing that was clear to me was the ladies’ hatred of Donald Trump — which always seems to diminish whatever other points they try to make, if any.
