Not many people are principled enough to risk life in prison rather than turn coat.

For someone who is a licensed and practicing attorney, this is also the loss or suspension of her career and livelihood. People like Ellis and Syndney Powell became lawyers to do justice. Then they get attacked by the injustice of the present American system. The reality is that American judges are too frequently just petty tyrants, and the criminal justice system is a mockery of what was before the ratification of the U.S. constitution. The Anti-federalists were right. Our prosecutors and judges have become too powerful. Reform of the American criminal justice system is needed because it can ensnare anyone in its toils.

My personal theory is that the more staunch a person is, when it is safe to do so, the more likely they will fold when the chips are down.

Flawed from the start, unfortunately.
