Fmr. Ga. Asst. D.A.: Fani Willis Hosting a Fundraiser for Me Just Means ‘We’re Friends’

EXCERPT:

BAILEY: "No, I don't regret that fundraiser, no matter than I regret fundraisers that many of my friends helped me with. Bottom line, Victor, is Fani endorsed me and was supporting me before I even got in the lieutenant governor’s race, when I was running for attorney general, before Burt Jones was running for lieutenant governor. Her support for me, giving me money, hosting a fundraiser, doesn’t have anything to do with anything other than that we are friends and we worked together and she believed in me. But, you know, the judge made the decision that judge made and that’s his call to make, but nothing about Fani’s case has changed. I mean, she has been following the evidence since she said she started this investigation and she brought the charges that she brought. And I think, you know, when we sit here and we talk about, okay, Democrats can't you know, indict Republicans and Republicans can’t indict Democrats, we’re really straining into -- straying into authoritarian territory. It doesn’t matter who you are. It doesn’t matter your political party. The only thing that matters under the rule of law is what you did or did not do."
