The watchdog groups contend the actions Ellis admitted to — namely making false statements to foster suspicion of President Joe Biden’s victory — violated her oath as an attorney to uphold the law.

They also argue Ellis’ actions since pleading guilty prove she’s not yet accepted responsibility.

“At her allocution in Georgia, she attempted to cast her criminal conduct as a mere failure to conduct due diligence,” the groups write.

“These statements elide her more than a decade of experience as a barred attorney and fall far short of demonstrating the type of contrition that would warrant lesser discipline.”

    Sucks to suck, I have no sympathy for someone who was complicit in an attempt to end our democracy, thanks for taking responsibility tho I guess.

      I think she was the one with a cool laptop though? Idk something to consider. In my opinion it sounds like she should get away with a little bit of trying to end our democracy

    I just don’t get how there’s a guy who we know incited an auto coup attempt is on trial for like the 100th felony, his lawyer is being threatened to be disbarred, his former lawyer is fuckin Giuliani, who is a whole laundry list of hilarious trouble… And this dude is not only able to run for president, but he’s like, doing ok in the race.

    What the fuck.

      That latest scandal you just linked sickens me. It’s absolutely abhorrent that someone would do that. Just fine people aren’t they?

            I think so. I assume it’s referring to all the joke about him melting in that one infamous photo.

              Ah. I like calling him ghoulliani. It kinda flies under the radar when talking to people. (Actually I know a couple of lawyers that may have started using it too. I don’t think they noticed. Or if the did nothing was ever said…)

      I thought she was there because Donald Trump likes the bid ole tiddies. How shocked was I to find out she’s also a criminal.

    These statements elide her more than a decade of experience as a barred attorney

    So she might become a different kind of “barred” attorney.

    Jenna Ellis should be disbarred

    I’m pretty sure that was the cover story of an issue of “Well, Duh! Weekly” over 2 years ago…
