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.

    She was smiling in the mugshot and talking shit because she didn’t have a good lawyer telling her how fucked she was. They should have gotten her less money and a worse lawyer.

        These people exist in all levels of employment in such “professional” positions and yet my dumb ass can’t convince myself that I’m capable of anything more than menial labor… It’s quite frustrating to see such “successful” idiots lol

          That’s how it works. You give the little fish plea deals so they turn on the big fish. Now she has to testify against Trump.
