Fani Willis Files Desperate Effort To Counter New Cellphone Data, But It's A Big Dud

On Friday, we reported about new cellphone data that the Trump team presented regarding the relationship between Fulton Country DA Fani Willis and the special prosecutor that she appointed in the Trump election case, Nathan Wade. The cellphone data appeared to show Wade making at least 35 visits to the Hapeville neighborhood where Fani Willis was living before the district attorney hired him, including at times in the middle of the night when he also communicated with her. On one occasion, on Sept. 11, 2021, Wade’s phone left the Doraville area and arrived in the vicinity of Willis’ Hapeville address at 10:45 p.m. The phone remained there until 3:28 a.m. and could later be seen arriving in East Cobb at 4:05 a.m., shortly before Wade sent a text to Willis, the affidavit said. Similarly, Wade’s phone left the East Cobb area the night of Nov. 29, 2021, after receiving an 11:32 p.m. call from Willis, the affidavit said. It arrived in Hapeville at 12:43 a.m. and remained there until 4:55 a.m., the affidavit added.

His data also showed more than 2000 calls between the two, and about 10,000 text messages, before they were supposedly romantically involved. Many found that damning, including a former Fulton County assistant district attorney Darryl Cohen. "This is damning… It seems to completely contradict the testimony of both Fani Willis and Nathan Wade… If these texts and if these pings on the telephone are accurate, that changes the entire ballgame and means that there could be some untruth that's been told under oath. In other words, it could be perjury, and I hope it isn't because this is very sad… I like Fani very much, but I'm so disappointed in what I'm hearing and seeing." — Darryl Cohen, Former Fulton County Assistant District Attorney, who briefly worked on the case against former President Trump. On Friday, Willis filed a response. But the response was fascinating for what it didn't say. It challenged the data on procedural grounds, seeking to get it excluded. She also said the data didn't "prove" that there was a relationship.

The records do not prove, in any way, the content of the communications between Special Prosecutor Wade and District Attorney Willis; they do not prove that Special Prosecutor Wade was ever at any particular location or address; they do not prove that Special Prosecutor Wade and District Attorney Willis were ever in the same place during any of the times listed in Supplemental Exhibit 38. What the filing doesn't do is deny that Wade was at her home on those two occasions mentioned above, Sept. 11 and Nov. 29. There's no denial from Fulton County that Wade wasn't at Willis's condo on those dates. No denial! No dispute of the volume of texts/calls. Instead, they try to exclude the evidence. (Likely unsuccessful.) Read the response for yourself. https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/24439919/state-objection-cell-data.pdf

Instead, as lawyer Technofog explains, Willis submitted calendar entries for other dates, not the above dates. Willis claimed in the filing that the data "did not prove anything relevant" and had "little evidentiary value." She's the only one who thinks so. When Trump attorney Steve Sadow was questioning Wade during the hearing, he asked him specifically about visiting the Hapewell address and Wade stepped right into it.
