Ellis, one of 18 Trump associates charged in Georgia election subversion case, says she ‘simply can’t support him’ aga
Translation: I was happy to follow him when I thought we were winning, but I don’t want to go to prison for this criminal.
There’s a real easy way to minimize your personal risk in Ms. Ellis’ situation.
It really took her this long to sort it out? With a literal indictment on her? Not any of the dozens of other times he cut off members of his inner circle for suspected disloyalty, or whatever made Mr. Highlighter angry that morning?
It was the same with Michael Cohen. I’ve listened to some of the recordings in which he strong arms a person suing Trump. What a despicable man. They all think they’re going to get away with it until the law finally catches up to them.
To this day I have no idea if Cohen is actually sorry about what he did.
Oh, he’s not. The only thing he’s sorry about is that the scheme got blown open, I guarantee it.
I think he’s sorry he did it, but that he’s the exact same person who did it, if you see what I mean.
Like, he’s sorry he stuck with the guy, he’s sorry he went as far as he did, but not because it was morally bankrupt. He’s sorry because he was stupid and is paying the consequences. I don’t think he’s sorry because he realized that being a liar and a grifter is wrong, or that being a tax cheat is wrong, or that making sure rich people get away with anything they do is wrong.
He’s sorry that he committed to going down with the ship because he thought it’d actually just stay afloat, but then got tossed overboard by the captain and rest of the crew anyway.
He seems to be having a pretty good time these days
Edit- despite enabling a LOT of Trumps bullshit
Fits with the conservative narrative, it doesn’t matter until it affects them personally.
Jenna Ellis […] says she will not vote for him in the future because he is a “malignant narcissist” who cannot admit mistakes.
Say what you will about her, and you’d be right, but this is still something that “Hang” Mike Pence can’t even bring himself to say.
“And the total idolatry that I’m seeing from some of the supporters that are unwilling to put the constitution and the country and the conservative principles above their love for a star is really troubling.
Yeah girl…those people are cray cray. Not you tho. You’re different and special. You actually knew the guy & still did all the cray cray. The others wish they could be as cool as you. So keep on keepin on…if you go to prison, we’ll forget who you even are and that would be wonderful, so look on the bright side and know you succeeded in making at least one group of people happy.
It would be great if Christian fundamentalists abandoned him.
Their religion is clear, they must worship the golden mancow.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Jenna Ellis – the Donald Trump lawyer who like the former president faces criminal charges regarding attempted election subversion in his defeat by Joe Biden in 2020 – says she will not vote for him in the future because he is a “malignant narcissist” who cannot admit mistakes.
Denying all wrongdoing and claiming political persecution, he also faces four federal counts related to election subversion; 40 federal counts related to retention of classified information; 34 state counts in New York over hush-money payments; and civil cases including a $250m lawsuit lodged by the New York attorney general over his business affairs and a defamation claim arising from a rape allegation a judge said was “substantially true”.
Nonetheless, Trump leads polling regarding the 2024 Republican presidential primary by vast margins, in national and key state surveys.
Ellis is a former counsel for the Thomas More Society, a conservative Catholic group, whose claims to be a constitutional lawyer have been widely doubted.
Described by the New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman as “a lawyer whom Trump sought out after seeing her television commentary”, in 2020 Ellis rose from relative obscurity to become part of what she called an “elite strike force team” working to overturn Trump’s defeat by Biden.
“And the total idolatry that I’m seeing from some of the supporters that are unwilling to put the constitution and the country and the conservative principles above their love for a star is really troubling.
