 Sobbing Trump co-defendant Jenna Ellis flips on ex-prez, says she has ‘deep remorse’

WASHINGTON — A third attorney who falsely claimed the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump by fraud flipped Tuesday and agreed to cooperate in the Georgia criminal case against the ex-commander-in-chief — saying she had “deep remorse” for her actions.

Jenna Ellis, 38, tearfully said she “failed” to do “due diligence” about fraud claims pushed by Trump, 77, in swing states including Georgia — where President Biden beat Trump by fewer than 12,000 votes. She joined former Trump attorneys Sidney Powell and Ken Chesebro in also pleading guilty.

“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 told Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee in court.

“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. In the frenetic pace of attempting to raise challenges to the election in several states, including Georgia, I failed to do my due diligence.”

This is heartbreaking. So many people, left for dead on the battlefield, are now fighting for their freedom and to preserve their livelihoods while being wrongly vilified in the process.

She is completely right to accept a minimal plea and get on with her life.

Let me explain to you how this works:

All of the lawyers previously had asserted attorney-client privilege but there is an exception to that called “crime fraud” where if the lawyer is a party to the crime, there is no privilege. So even if the DA gets everyone a stupid charge, it forces privilege to be broken.

Jenna has for three years refused to testify, invoking privilege and protecting her client. So, the only way Fani forces her to testify is to indict her on an insane RICO charge and then offer a nothing plea that accomplishes her goal: compelling testimony.

Jenna agreed to testify truthfully in exchange for her freedom which most do in a heartbeat. It’s so easy to be a keyboard warrior and backbencher. No one knows anything except for those of who were physically involved and are totally speculating otherwise.

This case isn’t legal, it’s political.

People who are criticizing Jenna Ellis for how she deployed her legal defense fund are missing the point completely. She used the funds to hire competent lawyers who negotiated a no-jail plea agreement when she was facing RICO charges with a 5-year mandatory minimum

Aim your anger at Fani Willis, who is using baseless RICO prosecutions as a cudgel to force defendants to take no-jail pleas
