there is ALWAYS a tweet:
its amazing is that ll you need is the right Christian buzzwords and your the best of the best. I bet she does not give back all the money she begged to fight the injustices of it all.I always thought that that she's just so bad at being a lawyer that she doesn't even realize how bad she is - sort of a "bless your heart" thing. But she also leaned into it, claimed experience she didn't have, and boasted of qualities she lacked. She's an emblem of the right-wing infrastructure, where tribal tags like "Christian" far outweigh actual merit and skill.
I wouldn't expect that she has that much to offer to the prosecution apart from verifying what she saw and heard. She's a total dingbat.
I can't help but engaging in some schadenfreude with Jenna Ellis. Here is a person who, with absolutely zero merit of her own, found herself shot through the ranks of right-wing media as a "constitutional scholar" or "constitutional lawyer" to the president's legal team - while she was clearly neither and utterly lacked the self-awareness and general modesty to say what was obvious to everyone else who knows.
She graduated from Richmond U. law in 2011 and returned home and passed the Colorado bar at some point - she didn't get her first job until the next year, and it was as a low level county prosecutor, primarily working traffic court in Weld County, Colorado (a northern CO county with 325K people). She was fired from that job for poor performance (the evaluation noted "deficiencies in her education and experience"). Thereafter, she did some very low-level private practice work - domestic and other types of cases, zero appellate work. In 2015, she became an adjunct professor at a Christian college outside of Denver where she taught undergraduate courses in pre-law. At that time she also self-published a book called "The Legal Basis for a Moral Constitution: A Guide for Christians to Understand America's Constitutional Crisis" which I haven't read but I did read her Forward and it's just a mess of buzzword junk written in ninth-grade prose.
But somehow on this record, and with her own self-celebration, she became a "constitutional lawyer" with a strong Christian background ready to go on right-wing radio and TV media to talk about Trump and the election. She had zero practical experience in constitutional disputes, she had zero experience in election law, she had zero experience in the workings of the federal government and/or the presidency, and she had been fired from the one legal job she actually had - due to deficiencies in her education and experience.
And the worst part was how she carried on as if it were real - this "Dr. Jenna Ellis, Esq., Constitutional Lawyer" persona that she then make all sorts of just junk observations about how things (don't actually) work. She was out of her league from day one, possessing none of the knowledge or skill that she claimed, and she was wholly incapable to even realize what a mess she was in.
That's precisely what her comments to the court contained yesterday - I didn't know what I was doing, I listened to other more experienced lawyers and I lacked the professional capacity to know they were advocating unlawful strategies based on falsehoods and mischaracterizations of law. Oh is that so, Dr. Jenna Ellis, Esq. Constitutional Lawyer?

would it make sense for Willis to announce how many more deals they'll be offering?
"We're doing 5 more plea deals. that's it. After that, we're coming after you with everything we have, recommending the maximum sentence allowed by law and we won't care what information or evidence you have. The plea train will have left the station"
I say revoke her deal and prosecute her to the fullest extent of the law:

An Alabama man has been indicted after allegedly threatening the Georgia district attorney who is prosecuting former president Donald Trump and several of his associates for trying to overturn the 2020 election.
as usual trump only attracts the best people.
could you imagine ruining your life (i'd have to guess this guy wasn't exactly a liked person) over something you got brainwashed into?An Alabama man has been indicted after allegedly threatening the Georgia district attorney who is prosecuting former president Donald Trump and several of his associates for trying to overturn the 2020 election.
Authorities say the man also threatened the sheriff whose jail briefly processed Trump. Arthur Ray Hanson II faces charges of transmitting interstate threats to injure Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and Sheriff Patrick Labat, federal prosecutors announced Monday.
The 59-year-old Huntsville man’s case is being investigated by the FBI. “Threats against public servants are not only illegal, but also a threat against our democratic process,” said Keri Farley, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Atlanta office……
