Lawyer continues making arguments for open records dispute involving Fani Willis

Defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant asked a court to enforce the subpoena.

[@JuneMartin-f1y]

Thank you Ashliegh for standing up for the people.

[@DanielKedem5]

It feels as if Fani Willis and her cronies should be charged with RICO.

[@Lazrael32]

They never will. Too many friends in all the wrong placew

[@jimmyrade7815]

Takes one to know one! I feel like they are projecting with the YSL RICO case

[@johnthomas1422]

​@Lazrael32 sure, pdiddy. Keep thinking that.

[@user-zq4fv8sj6v]

This is further proof that Fani is in legal parlance “non compos mentis”.

[@vinniet9523]

The judge is in Fani's pocket.

[@JKLYDE]

Fani has Ashleigh’s complete, and total attention. Buh bye Fani, I can’t wait to see your trial next year!!

[@Satin311]

Vote Fulton county! Vote Fani Willis and some of these judges out.

[@ElizabethRodriguez-cg5en]

God bless you Ashleigh!

[@Enchantinggodess_76]

Getim Ashleigh!!!! Team Ashleigh!

[@melodiespears4456]

This judge sounds she is fighting for Fani

[@charris7591]

She should because why are they trying to find her in the wrong when her client is at fault for what he done???? This doesn’t have nothing to do with what he did? Oh because she’s doing her job now they’re going to play tick for tack so he can get off!!! Bless you all ✌🏾

[@quintonmaxwell54]

​@@charris7591She is still mad that He didn't hit it.

[@QargZer]

[@sheznoladyy]

Willis is trash. Power to "The Merchant!!"

[@wc7318]

Thank you Judge for keeping the case on focus and to NOT veering off course getting distracted and getting side tracked.

[@summer_rain_85-ti9zp]

Get'em girl!

[@Satin311]

She is exposing Fani office

[@Teabag697]

What's fani trying to hide?

[@biancarenee]

Me: Honey, why don't you become a lawyer? Wife: Why? Sounds stressful. Me: You get to argue with people and make a lot of money. Wife: Where do I sign up?

[@surpriseimblack]

You have to know what you're talking about

[@OlsenTheWonderDog]

@@surpriseimblackThen that rules most wives out…

[@Finneganbeginagain1]

She’s not making a cent off this. This is her own case against the county

[@philipmcculley5221]

😂😂😂

[@justahippie]

His Arrogant Stonewalling is Oh So Obvious !! If he doesn't Understand the Request he Thinks he can Ignore It 😮😂😅 Freakin Hilarious Is the Entire Office this Radical

[@whatleytranspo6107]

Can anybody explain to me why are they having this hearing??

[@ericmcfrazier4596]

Trump's legal team have subpoenaed certain records visa from the DA's office.but the DA's office has filed an emergency motion to avoid turning the records over.

[@Finneganbeginagain1]

Attorney Merchant is suing Fulton County and the DA’s office because she’s investigating them. She requested open records and they have either altered or stonewalled to avoid giving them to her. It’s a legal right for anyone who wants public records to obtain them upon request regardless of the reason.

[@jackattack_8]

Also, Fani was subpoenaed and she didn't show up. She SHOULD be held in contempt like anyone else that doesn't follow the law.

[@USA__2023]

How about this. Why is Fanni refusing to disclose public records? Because they will show that her and her office is corrupt

[@terigibson2829]

Ashley is Awesome, she knows the laws. Fanis office can’t pick & choose what laws they follow/ compliance.

[@Finneganbeginagain1]

I watched the entirety of this (it’s on a break now) and my I think the judge is mistaking Attorney Merchant’s frustration for gamesmanship. I think she needed to express her opinion about the stonewall tactics to make her point. Also, I don’t know if in civil court there’s a rule against stating that there’s something afoul in the defendant’s office. I think it’s important that she has proof that there’s been funny stuff going on. They are hiding, lying, altering, etc and she’s got proof.

[@temitopeoguntade6119]

She needs proof of anything to ask for public records for which she is entitled merely by asking?

[@biancarenee]

@@temitopeoguntade6119Open records is a public website open to ALL not just this attorney. Anyone can ask for information - DA office is not over the law of the process of a Government entity that is the issue here

[@Finneganbeginagain1]

I’m talking about needing proof to accuse them of hiding and altering records. She doesn’t need proof that she requested them because, yes everyone is entitled to them

[@johnthomas1422]

​@Finneganbeginagain1 the da is required by law to maintain specific records that they claim they don't have. How do you say that without saying the da clearly broke the law? If the records exist, the da is required by law to profuce them. If they don't exist, the da is guilty of destroying records. Simple.

[@ypcomchic]

Ashley you need to take the emotion out of it. There’s no emotion in court and there is no right or wrong just laws.

[@OlsenTheWonderDog]

I appreciate that she is persistent in the pursuit of the documents, but you are right that her manner of presentation/argumentation is too animated and emotional. She needs to be calm, collected, and concise in her argumentation before the court.

[@ralpheazy69]

When you're passionate about your job, be passionate.

[@Finneganbeginagain1]

She’s been lied to and has proof that they have altered and hidden records. She is fighting a corrupt office. She’s entitled to be angry and I think everyone should be. I think she’s made her points and when the judge checked her on certain points, she changed her route.

[@ZoeRichardson199]

Fulton County DA's office is sooooooooooo corrupt! The witness that came on after the lunch break to the stand...he's Fani Willis 2.0🤔😤🤣💯 Whew...rude, arrogant,you name it he's it!😮

[@biancarenee]

Not when you are up against this EVIL.

[@EvelynHudson-y6l]

As Dept. Head, Dude should lose his job and whoever was charged with collection and fulfilling the request with his fani sounding azz....😅😅😅
