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.

          It literally funded his entire defense and a chunk of his campaign. It was the single dumbest thing the libtard dropouts could have possibly done. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

        He surrendered in the same way you surrender your wallet and watch at the TSA checkpoint at the airport.

        If you think “never surrender” has some implication beyond “fight the good fight, don’t just plead guilty, lay down, and die like a liberal dog”, your crippling neanderthal genes are showing.
