Jenna Ellis (felon and devout religious whacko)

Dang. The world is a poorer planet without Jenna Ellis and Laura Loomer directly going after each other. Nature red in tooth and claw.

Avengers Assemble – it’s the Trump indictment gang

Jenna Ellis
A former traffic court lawyer, Jenna has, in recent months, defected to team DeSantis, which is, of course, the equivalent of being rescued off the Titanic by the Hindenburg. Before that, though, she was a major voice on the election-denial team Trump put together, a truly MAGA combination of wine o’clock mom bromides, bible quotes, and a complete lack of any understanding whatsoever of constitutional law.

Most of the people on the Titanic died. Most of the people on the Hindenburg survived.

So if you had a choice the Hindenburg would be the better one.

Wow, I didn't know that. I checked it out and it's true. That's really surprising to me.

Survivors of the Hindenburg disaster far outnumbered the victims.

Anyone who has seen the graphic newsreel video of the Hindenburg plunging to earth in flames may be amazed to know that of the 97 passengers and crew on board, 62 survived. The disaster’s 36 deaths included 13 passengers, 22 crewmembers and one worker on the ground. Many survivors jumped out of the zeppelin’s windows and ran away as fast as they could.

[much ado]

You can see them running on the ground in the famous video.

[bill_g]

They jumped from the airship windows and doors the moment it touched ground. Hydrogen burns quickly, and because it was above the passengers and crew, they felt little of the fire despite it's high temp (+600C). It flamed off quickly causing the frame to collapse. That was the killer.

But, I still like the metaphor that Jenna is a disaster upon a disaster.

MAGA Diehards Are Furious Jenna Ellis Pleaded Guilty After Raising $200K
Jenna Ellis raised more than $216,000 to fight her Georgia RICO indictment ... then accepted a plea deal

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/p ... 234861064/

Jenna Ellis smiled in her mugshot. The former Trump attorney who was indicted alongside him and 17 others over an alleged conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election results even made the Fulton County booking photo her profile picture on Twitter. “Those who mock me, my former client, and my God want to see me break and they aren’t going to get that satisfaction,” she told The New York Times in August.

On Tuesday, through tears, Jenna Ellis accepted a plea deal from Georgia prosecutors. Five years probation and some community service in exchange for her truthful testimony against her co-defendants. While Ellis’ role in the upcoming trial remains an open-ended question, something else looms over her decision to flip on her former allies: the $216,431 crowdsourced by friends and Trump supporters to fund her legal defense.

In the aftermath of her indictment, major players in MAGA-land rushed to help boost a fundraiser supporting Ellis. Figures like Congressman Chip Roy (R-Texas), Daily Wire host Ben Shapiro, One America News’ Liz Wheeler, Pizzagate conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec, Fox Host Mark Levin, Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe, far-right writer Ashley St. Claire, and former congressional candidate Robby Starbuck posted links to Ellis’ fundraiser or urged their followers to donate.

At one point, Ellis claimed that she had “gotten support and donations from a lot of DEMOCRATS […] and private notes saying they support me, one saying ‘against America’s true enemies’ and another ‘this is totally unconstitutional.’” A link to the fund remained the pinned tweet on her X account on the day of her guilty plea.

Despite her support for Trump in the aftermath of the election, and her alleged participation in schemes to help keep him in power, Ellis was among several of the former president’s allies left to fend for themselves as his legal troubles dragged them into the sights of prosecutors — even though Trump regularly dips into his massive campaign coffers to cover his own legal expenses.

“I was reliably informed Trump isn’t funding any of us who are indicted,” Ellis tweeted in August, shortly after she was indicted. “Would this change if he becomes the [2024] nominee? Why then, not now? I totally agree this has become a bigger principle than just one man. So why isn’t MAGA, Inc. funding everyone’s defense?”

Nevertheless, Ellis fell back to asking for donations to fund her defense, and the prospect of a lengthy trial with no reliable stream of income likely factored into her decision to accept a deal with prosecutors. The question now is whether Ellis’ decision to make a deal with prosecutors will draw backlash from the figures who supported her financially in the aftermath of her indictment. Attorneys for Ellis did not immediately respond to a set of questions from Rolling Stone clarifying what would become of the fund, but the criticism has already begun.

Pro-Trump activist Laura Loomer wrote on X that “Jenna Ellis scammed all of you who donated to her. I TOLD YOU NOT TO DONATE TO THIS DISLOYAL WENCH […] She’s now going to use the money so many of you foolishly gave her to work against President Trump in an election year. Shame on every single MORON who donated to Jenna Ellis.”

Former Breitbart editor Raheem Kassam derided Ellis for taking “$216,000 from the public, claiming she was going to “fight” against the court case. Instead, she copped a plea deal today.”

Pro-Trump political consultant Alex Bruesewitz called it an “absolute disgrace” that Ellis raised $216k from grassroots donors in the name of “fighting back” and then immediately caved.”

Far-right grifters are mad they can no longer grift off of Ellis, well, after they grift on anger over Jenna's prior grifting.

My guess is the $216K has already been spent by her lawyers negotiating a pretty sweet plea deal for her. She'd have needed 5~10x more to go to trial, with a better than 50:50 chance that she'd end up where she is now, or worse.

Concur. Between this actual case, and other potential civil and criminal cases, I would not be surprised she's already spent more than that on lawyers.

Stern letters threatening a SLAPP suit if were to be sued, for example, don't write themselves.

Ellis has had enough.

Don Jr’s pick for press secretary is claiming I am a “disloyal harlot” and “going to hell.”

No mention though of Jr’s divorce, his girlfriend’s divorce from Gavin Newsom, or The Best Christian Ever screwing a porn star while his third wife was pregnant.

Apparently true Christianity is not based on belief in Christ as Lord, but rather belief in Donald Trump as Savior, King, and next President!

Repent and trust the 27-D chess, guys… personnel picks WILL be better this time!

[Slim Cognito]

Has she written her tell-all book yet? I can't keep track.

[Rolodex]

I can't say for sure, but from context clues I think the "next pick for press secretary" is Laura Loomer.

Jenna Ellis scammed all of you who donated to her.

I TOLD YOU NOT TO DONATE TO THIS DISLOYAL WENCH.

Today she accepted a plea deal, which will only require her to pay a $5,000 fine and get probation for 5 years. She didn’t even attempt to fight the charges.

She’s now going to use the money so many of you foolishly gave her to work against President Trump in an election year. Shame on every single MORON who donated to Jenna Ellis.

$216,000!!!! WHAT A SCAM!!!

You should feel ashamed of yourself if you donated to her.

[Dave from down under]

She is very jealous of the cash and infamy that Ellis got

[Sam the Centipede]

Grifters don't like it when other grifters out-grift then, do they?

[Maybenaut]

I presume that a lot of that money is going to pay for lawyers, plus the income tax she’ll have to pay on the donations. It’s not like she gets to pay the $5K fine and put the rest in her pocket.

MAGA doesn’t care about the truth.

They just want everyone to say what they want to hear.

If you don’t, they’ll try to bully and intimidate you.

They’re leftists.

"Anything I don't like is leftist". It's a variation on 'No True Scotsman'; or, for those of a more fandom mindset, 'No True Klingon'.
