Yet another Trump attorney in the Georgia election fraud case has pleaded guilty.

The price of loyalty to Donald Trump in this environment is a steep one.
We have seen dozens of careers that have been ruined already, and Ellis is just one more to add to the list.

Ellis stated, "If I knew then what I know now, I would have declined to represent Donald Trump in these post-election challenges. I look back on this experience with deep remorse.”

Willis has now secured four plea deals from the 19 named codefendants, which I am convinced was her plan all along.

Trump is the big fish… everyone else is just bait.
