Jenna Ellis, who served as a senior legal adviser for the 2020 campaign of then-President Donald Trump, broke down in tears while reading a prepared statement in court as she pleaded guilty to a reduced charge in her Georgia election fraud case.

Ellis pleaded guilty to one count of aiding and abetting false statements and writings.

“As an attorney who is also a Christian, I take my responsibilities as a lawyer very seriously and I endeavor to be a person of sound moral and ethical character in all of my dealings,” she said.

“I believed that challenging the results on behalf of President Trump should be pursued in a just and legal way,” Ellis continued. “I failed to do my due diligence.”

As part of the plea deal, Ellis will serve five years of probation and is ordered to pay $5,000 in restitution. She must also perform 100 hours of community service and pen an apology letter to the people of Georgia.

Ellis Pleads to Lesser Charge

While five years of probation is nothing to diminish, Ellis had been facing far more serious charges in the indictment brought forth by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis following an investigation into alleged efforts to “overturn” the 2020 presidential election.

The Fulton County Superior Court indictment list shows that Ellis had faced two felony charges – including a Violation of the Georgia RICO Act and Solicitation of Violation of Oath by a Public Officer.

Guilty verdicts for those charges would have been significantly more burdensome, with the RICO charge alone amounting to a potential prison term of between 5 and 20 years.

Instead, she gets hit with a charge for false statements regarding the Peach State’s election results.

Ellis becomes the fourth co-defendant and third attorney to plead guilty in the Georgia election case. Each pleaded to reduced charges, including “Kraken” lawyer Sidney Powell and attorney Kenneth Chesebro, both of whom will pay fines and spend several years on probation as well.

Ellis’ guilty plea comes just three days after getting into a public spat with former Representative Adam Kinzinger in which she touted her legal defense fund, compared her situation to the trial of Jesus, and solicited followers for donations.

Bad News For Trump In His Georgia Election Case?

Media and left-wing pundits have been celebrating the plea deals of Trump’s former lawyers as evidence that the Republican frontrunner is himself in legal peril.

The Trump indictment is on 13 counts, including violating the Georgia RICO Act, Conspiracy to Commit Impersonating a Public Officer, Conspiracy to Commit Forgery in the First Degree, and Conspiracy to Commit False Statements and Writings.

However, it is worth noting that not one of these plea deals has led to jail time, and not one defendant has been forced to plead guilty to the most serious violation – the RICO charges.

It seems highly unlikely that Trump would not be given a similar arrangement as a worst-case scenario. He’s not going to jail, folks. At least not in the Georgia case, which would be the only one in which a presidential pardon wouldn’t come into play.

As for probation, don’t kid yourself. He’d love the attention. They’ll have the biggest and best probation parties at Mar-a-Lago, catered with the greatest taco bowls from Trump Tower.

Ellis had been a strong proponent of fighting alleged election fraud following the 2020 presidential election, even hammering former Trump Attorney General Bill Barr for doing “enough sitting down on the job” when it came to investigating the claims.

She went so far as to quit the Republican Party during a live broadcast following claims that the Republican National Committee (RNC) had questioned electoral fraud claims and failed to support Trump enough on a variety of matters.

Regarding false statements, the brain trust behind these charges in the Georgie election fraud case has her own history of election denialism.

Social media posts show Willis making multiple statements questioning the 2020 presidential election. This is rich, considering the indictment against Trump includes social media posts as evidence to further a plot to cast doubt on the election process and results.

Trump, meanwhile, has insisted he and his team have “irrefutable” evidence that will lead to his “complete exoneration” following his indictment.

    In the 1980s Gorbachev ended the “cold war” and was moved to the USA (along with a dozen of his top generals in Military and KGB) to set up a “Think Tank” and develop a plan for a Global Totalitarian world government.
    To bring this about required two elements.
    1) a Global threat which would require that all nations follow the orders of a supra organisation. The threat of Aliens was discounted as most people (including myself) would love to meet them. So climate became the only possible issue. A new Ice Age had been promised but not arrived, so AGW was invented and Gorbachev set up the “Green Initiative”. The IPCC was formed.
    2) the “Middle Class” had to be destroyed. People with property or even possessions will fight to defend what is theirs. People with families will fight to defend their loved ones. Destroy family and ownership, and people will have nothing to fight for.
    How is the plan progressing do you think?

    This is the same doj who charged General Flynn with completely phony and 100% trumped up charges and knowing they we’re completely false and blackmailed him into signing a confession by threatening to put his wife and family in prison. What we are dealing with true evil. This entire Administration from the snake in the White House to the Department of justice, the FBI the CIA and just about every Democrat down to your local mayor is a personal Emissary of evil and many of them are even aware of that.

    It has been said: If the left didn’t have double standards they would have no standards at all. Leftists have a long history of challenging and denying election results — Clinton and Gore just to name two of the more prominent ones. And nothing happens to them. But when a Republican does it, it’s suddenly a crime?!

    Their fear and hatred for Pres. Trump have long since crossed over the borders to insanity. If their bogus kangaroo court cases don’t work, I wouldnt be surprised if the wacko leftists resort to more Hinckleyesque methods to try to stop him.
