I relied on others together with attorneys with many extra years of expertise than I.
Uh oh Rudy.
Ellis labored extensively and nearly completely with Giuliani, flanking the previous NYC mayor in nearly each one among his 2020 appearances — besides THAT one — as much as and together with sitting loyally by his facet as he ripped one whereas testifying to the Michigan House of Representatives.
As key figures within the Georgia RICO case flip like, effectively, like mobsters flipping in each different RICO case, the stress continues to bubble upward. Donald Trump is likely to be the capo regime however Ellis flipping is dangerous information for Giuliani particularly, as his right-hand via all this undoubtedly maintained receipts.
Ellis continued:
For these failures of mine, Your Honor, I’ve taken duty already earlier than the Colorado bar who censured me…
Did you although? Yes, Ellis signed a stipulation of misconduct with Colorado bar authorities, however then rushed to publicly downplay the stipulation and declare that she by no means actually admitted to “lying.”
As she went on to elucidate: “The customary reads, ‘dishonesty, fraud, deceit, OR misrepresentation.’” This may seem like a distinction without difference, and that’s as a result of it’s. Something tells me she’s not going to show round and gaslight the general public over this one.
It’s a tragic day for Ellis, who picked herself up from bombing out of visitors courtroom to soar on the highest ranges of authorized energy solely to finish up crying in a Georgia courtroom.
But she’ll all the time have this…
Someone get this lady a T-shirt that reads, “Rudy Giuliani Farted On Me And All I Got Was This Lousy Conviction.”
