A third attorney who falsely claimed the 2020 election was stolen flipped Tuesday and agreed to cooperate in the criminal case against former President Donald Trump in Georgia — saying she had “deep remorse” for her actions.
Jenna Ellis, 38, tearfully said she “failed” to do “due diligence” on claims that the election was stolen through fraud in swing states including Georgia, where President Biden beat Trump by fewer than 12,000 votes — joining former Trump attorneys Sidney Powell and Ken Chesebro in also pleading guilty.

“I believe in and I value election integrity,” she went on. “If I knew then what I know now, I would have declined to represent Donald Trump in these post-election challenges.”
Ellis concluded through tears, “For those failures of mine, your honor, I have taken responsibility already before the Colorado bar, who censured me. And I now take responsibility before this court and apologize to the people of Georgia.”
Ellis is expected to receive a sentence of 5 years of probation, $5,000 in restitution and 100 hours of community service — in exchange for having no contact with the media or codefendants and cooperating and testifying at other trials in the 19-person RICO case including Trump.
“I relied on others, including lawyers with many more years of experience than I, to provide me with true and reliable information, especially since my role involved speaking to the media and to legislators in various states,” Ellis said in a Fulton County courtroom Tuesday.
“What I did not do, but should have done, your honor, was to make sure that the facts the other lawyers alleged to be true were in fact true.

Yep. The only difference is, these people don’t have a hand-drawn sign around their necks and a conical dunce hat placed on their head.
All the rest is the same.
And we have people on this very forum who fill the very same role, jeering these people as they are paraded through the “legal” system and the media, that jeered those Chinese who were paraded through the streets.
They are scared, they have been made an offer they can’t refuse. And not just in the courtroom...
“I look forward to Mayor Giuliani spearheading the legal effort to defend OUR RIGHT to FREE and FAIR ELECTIONS! Rudy Giuliani, Joseph diGenova, Victoria Toensing, Sidney Powell, and Jenna Ellis, a truly great team, added to our other wonderful lawyers and representatives!”
In the context of the foregoing social media post, it is readily discernible that Mr. Trump articulates his statements in a general sense concerning “Our” Rights and “our” lawyers. At no juncture within the discourse does he extend recognition to Ms. Ellis as “My Attorney of Record.” Consequently, his utilization of the term “our” conspicuously conveys the inference that “our” lawyers connotes lawyers collectively within the United States, as opposed to signifying his own legal representation.
She was a confidential advisor to Trump. He relied on her opinions so if she is admitting that she misled the President, then her testimony can only help Trump.
the New York Post is another rag owned by the Murdoch family. Anything they can report to trash Trump they will print using inflammatory words to enhance the trashing of him.
Oh for God sake.
Sadly correct. Those critizing from the sidelines do not understand the massive power that the federal government has to utterly destroy not only your life but those of your family. All of it done with unlimited resources.
Only self-made billionaires like Donald Trump can afford to put up a fight and even then, you have to have the stomach for it and be willing to see your family and friends persecuted in efforts to get you to "flip."
It's a dangerous slope that we are on. Pretty soon, they will be able to throw you in jail and force you to publicly apologize for simply attending a MAGA rally or not using the proper politically correct pronouns for transvestite folks.
We are pretty much there now, as evidenced by the fate of the J6ers.
Relying on information provided by other officers of the court is not wrong. Judges do it every day.
Many of the co-defendants are facing the same fate.
Exactly. And it’s so obvious.
May those evil RATS get what they have coming to them soon.
This is utterly pathetic.
There is ZERO chance of ever having fair, honest, fraud-free elections in the USA again. People are scared to death the Democrat Machine will put them behind bars for decades if they object to election results.
There are SO many examples already of Dems running roughshod over the country and law. U.S. District Judge Ann M. Donnelly just sentenced Douglass Mackey to 7 months in prison for his JOKE MEMEs about the election.
And you can’t trash a company or person with false statements.
You mean like government prosecutors are doing to Trump and all these co-defendants?

This reminds me of the Spanish Inquisition.
Why did they torture innocent people?
Because it worked!
I wasn’t expecting that.
How? Public record isn’t illegal.
Yeah, no one’s pleaded guilty to RICO charges yet, just conspiracy with misdemeanor charges that will probably be thrown out upon appeal.
Why isn’t Hillary being charged for her 2016 denial.
Government intimidation of Trump voters, staff and supporters violates the Bills of Attainder clause of the US Constitution.
It is illegal to use the massive power of government against a single individual, especially for engaging in lawful and constitutionally protected rights, i.e., the right to free speech.
It is analogous to hitting a fly with a sledgehammer. Anybody would crumble under the pressure, being threatened with incarceration.
Enough pressure and everyone will fold...
There are four lights, not five.
