Legal expert predicts Fani Willis will 'unflinchingly' go after Trump for bail violations
Fani Willis can and will stand up to Donald Trump if he steps out of line, according to one legal expert.
Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner gushed about the "fiery argument" delivered by the Fulton County DA during a rare appearance at a bond violation hearing involving Harrison Floyd, the former leader of Black Voices for Trump and also a co-defendant in the Georgia election racketeering case.
While contributing to "The Michael Steele Podcast" episode, Kirschner hailed Willis' techniques during Floyd's hearing.
"Seeing the kind of passion coming out of a prosecutor that I have been longing for," he said.
Willis filed a motion to revoke Floyd's bond and made a passionate plea to say that Floyd had been scaring and reaching out to prospective witnesses in a way that breached the terms of his release.
"What he really did was spit on the report and refused to oblige to three of the seven conditions of his bond order," she said, holding the document up for Superior Court Scott McAfee to see.
Floyd, along with 18 others, is facing fraud and RICO charges for conspiring to prevent Trump from relinquishing the presidency after being defeated by then President-Elect Joe Biden.

Already, four defendants took guilty plea deals in exchange for their testimony under oath.
For Steele, Trump has already been coddled beyond comprehension.
"From my perspective our judicial system is being bent over backwards right now to avoid getting mixed up in the politics -- that's all Donald Trump is engaging in — is in the politics."
He then bluntly demanded the way to curb the antics that has drawn one-and-off gag orders in both New York and D.C. is to jail the 45th president.
"Put his ass in jail," Steele said. "That's how it stops."
"There is no other person who has been given this grace the way he has."
With Willis prosecuting the case in Georgia, Kirschner has conviction that she's going to stand up to any foolishness from any defendant — be it Floyd or Trump — as the case nears its Aug. 5, 2024 trial date.
"I have to believe that if there are things Donald Trump says, does and posts that violate his conditions of release in Georgia," Kirschner said in the Wednesday podcast. "I think she will unflinchingly go after Trump the way we saw her today go after Harrison Floyd."
