Jenna Ellis smiled in her mugshot. The former Trump attorney who was indicted alongside him and 17 others over an alleged conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election results even made the Fulton County booking photo her profile picture on Twitter. “Those who mock me, my former client, and my God want to see me break and they aren’t going to get that satisfaction,” she told The New York Times in August.
On Tuesday, through tears, Jenna Ellis accepted a plea deal from Georgia prosecutors. Five years probation and some community service in exchange for her truthful testimony against her co-defendants. While Ellis’ role in the upcoming trial remains an open-ended question, something else looms over her decision to flip on her former allies: the $216,431 crowdsourced by friends and Trump supporters to fund her legal defense.
How are all these people getting such ridiculously light punishments? Good that they’re going to “flip”, but give them 5 years in prison vs 20 for cooperating.
You gotta give them a real good incentive for them to turn against the guy who currently controls the entire GOP. Also, they’re small fries. Trump is the one that needs at least 20 years.
It’s also a very culty behaviour to hate apostates even more than nonbelievers.
If the extremist freaks are going to target anyone with violence, it’s going to be the perceived “traitors” who “stabbed them in the back”.
