Want To Commit a Crime? Go Work for Donald Trump.
You may recall that back in July, after a Fulton County grand jury indicted 18 people for trying to subvert the 2020 Presidential vote in Georgia, that I wrote a column about how one of that bunch, a former GOP state co-chair named Cathy Latham, opened up a website to raise money for her upcoming legal defense.
At the time, she had raised some $20,000 to pay what her lawyers were going to charge to try and convince a jury that what she was doing down in Coffee County was nothing more than taking an evening road trip.
I don’t know how much money she eventually raised, but it turns out that Cathy is one of four defendants in the Georgia case to go online looking for financial help. The other digital beggars are John Eastman, Jeffrey Clark and Jenna Ellis who together had raised more than $700,000 by September 1st.
Actually, there’s also a guy named Donald Trump who has pulled in millions to pay his various legal fees, but since he’s being indicted and sued all over the place, he probably needs every cent he can raise.
The picture above is Jenna Ellis reading her plea in the Fulton County court, a performance which also included an occasional wiping away of a tear as she admitted her lack of ‘due diligence’ for how she behaved in this case.
