The Ship Isn’t Leaking — It’s Sinking.

So, today another lawyer has copped a plea down in Georgia admitting that the whole ‘stop the steal’ program in the Peach State was nothing but a bundle of lies. In this instance, it’s Jenna Ellis who shot her mouth off every chance she got back after the 2020 election to spread the nonsense about how the guy who deserved to still be President was sitting on his ass in Mar-a-Lago, waiting to make a triumphant return to D.C.

Ellis may have been an attorney working on the Trump campaign, but there isn’t an alt-right media venue that she didn’t miss in what was almost a daily blast of bullshit that she peddled after the 2020 election came to an end. Back in March, she was formally censured by a judge in Colorado for making false claims about the election, and to quote the actual censure document itself, Ellis “made ten public misrepresentations in November and December 2020 in her capacity as counsel for the then-President’s reelection campaign and as personal counsel to the then-President, while also advertising her status as a lawyer.”

Now hold off for a minute while I give you a little perspective on this case. Back in 1988 or 1989 I happened to be out in the Hamptons and bumped into Meade Esposito, who had been the head of the Brooklyn Democratic Party when I was press officer for the New York State Assembly in the early 1980’s.
