Fani Willis Axed Employee Who Blew Whistle
on Misuse of Federal Funds

Original Article

Posted By: Beardo, 1/31/2024 2:15:03 PM

Fani Willis may have fired the employee who warned her about mishandling federal funds. But she didn't deny her allegations. Less than a year into her tenure as Fulton County district attorney, in 2021, Willis met with Amanda Timpson, an employee in the district attorney's office responsible for giving nonviolent juvenile offenders "alternatives to the juvenile court system." During their conversation, a recording of which was reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, Timpson claimed to Willis that she had been demoted after attempting to stop a top Willis campaign aide from misusing federal grant money meant for a youth gang prevention initiative.

FTA: According to Timpson, the aide, Michael Cuffee, planned to use part of a $488,000 federal grant—earmarked for the creation of a Center of Youth Empowerment and Gang Prevention—to pay for "swag," computers, and travel. "He wanted to do things with grants that were impossible, and I kept telling him, like, 'We can't do that,'" Timpson told Willis in a Nov. 19, 2021, meeting. "He told everybody … 'We're going to get MacBooks, we're going to get swag, we're going to use it for travel.' I said, 'You cannot do that, it's a very, very specific grant.'"

A "youth gang prevention initiative"? Another incredibly fatuous excuse - - to steal money from hard-working taxpayers. Unbelievable!

How may computers does this office need? I Believe there should be an audit of grant spending and an audit and physical location of the computer equipment in the Willis office.

Atlanta is just a Petri dish of what's wrong in African countries. Given positions of authority without accountability, they become horribly corrupt then, when they can't afford to pay their soldiers, a military junta occurs, ending up with a military dictator with the likes Mugabe, or Amin, who brutalize opposition while pilfering the treasury and bankrupting the nation.

Among those, a majority, 51%, said they “strongly” back Texas in its fight to stop illegal immigration and the surge of “gotaways” getting past federal border agents.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden on Thursday issued an executive order that targets Israeli settlers in the West Bank who have been accused of attacking Palestinians in the occupied territory, imposing financial sanctions and visa bans in an initial round against four individuals. Those settlers were involved in acts of violence, as well as threats and attempts to destroy or seize Palestinian property, according to the order.

U.S. officials said they were evaluating whether to punish others involved in attacks that have intensified during the Israel-Hamas war.
