Fani Willis shocked the US political world when she charged into Judge Scott McAfee's fifth floor courtroom yesterday to take the stand While she came in fire-hot and had more than half the country cringing, fearful she'd blow her office's work up by being too emotional, the embattled Fulton D.A. availed herself and gave us all a glimpse into what it's like to BE Fani Willis. She also gave key details into her relationship with Nathan Wade, including clarifications on their timeline and how they handled expenses - most notably reminding us all that she's a financially independent woman.

In the aftermath, I spoke with Georgia WIN List Executive Director Melita Easters and Georgia Recorder opinion columnist Jay Bookman to get their takes on her breathtaking performance.
