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.”

    Trump lawyers are just a special breed, aren’t they?

    The wax man, the kracken, this bitch, and now his current lawyer

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

      Does Ghoulliani still count? I mean technically not allowed to represent… but… you know. Probably still giving hot tips to Big Orangie.

              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.
