Ahead of Donald Trump surrendering to authorities in Georgia later today, several of his alleged co-conspirators handed themselves in yesterday. Mugshots were taken of each, including Trump’s former legal advisors Rudy Guiliani and Jenna Ellis.
Ellis, in particular, has been vocal online about being included in District Attorney Fani Willis’s far-reaching RICO charges. She has previously stated she’s placing her trust in God. She has also expressed shock and disbelief that Trump is not helping her out with her legal fees. Instead, she’s turned to crowd-funding to help her fight the charges against her.
Ellis faces two charges: violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act and soliciting the violation of oath by a public officer. She has so far claimed her innocence.
In her mugshot, Ellis appeared defiant and smiled for the camera. She appeared equally defiant online. On X, she reposted her own mugshot with two Bible verses. One was about loving those who hate and persecute you. The second was again about placing one’s trust in God.
Ellis’s grin led to plenty of reaction online.
“I am resolved to trust the Lord”
Ellis agreed to a $100,000 bond Tuesday. Last week she tweeted, “The Democrats and the Fulton County DA are criminalizing the practice of law. I am resolved to trust the Lord.”
Despite appearing to make favorable comments about Ron DeSantis in recent months, Ellis yesterday shared an unrepentant message from her former client, Donald Trump over the legal woes they both face in Georgia.
On Truth Social, Trump posted (in upper case), “NOBODY HAS EVER FOUGHT FOR ELECTION INTEGRITY LIKE PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP. FOR DOING SO, I WILL PROUDLY BE ARRESTED TOMORROW AFTERNOON IN GEORGIA. GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!”
Ellis retweeted it with a caption simply saying, “Same, Mr President.”
It’s still unsure if Donald Trump will pose for a mugshot when he turns himself in later. One enterprising online gambling site is offering pundits the chance to place bets on the color of Trump’s tie and the shade of his tan in any resulting photo. Options for the latter include “Presidential Pumpkin” and “Ballot-rigged Bronze”.

The scariest part is that I don’t think ANY of them will flip (aka tell the truth) because either they are terrified of trump, or are convinced he will help them.

I liken it to whistling while walking past the cemetery.

Odds are pretty good that at least a third of them (6) will accept a plea bargain and testify against trump to save their own butt. They will just have to be promised no jail time in order to take the deal.

Yes, I agree. Some will.

When will these Rs learn that working for/lying for/covering up for trump will only get them charged with a crime or two? Donald will not help any of them; he can’t even pay his own legal fees. Rs love to project their crimes onto Biden and the Ds; it’s hysterically obvious to anyone with a brain what they’re doing. They are no longer a legitimate political party; they are a cult headed by a sociopathic, mendacious, egomaniacal dictator wannabe who idolizes putin. Jesus is not gonna save this foolish woman.

Brings to mind Leslie Van Houten of the Manson Family.

I suppose it was the only way to show the size of that big mouth was to let her grin like that !

Many cult followers choose to double down on their beliefs when their cult leader is exposed. Took the Manson girls years before they turned on Charlie. Could it be an ego thing – where they just cannot admit they were wrong or is it just truly just a delusional loyalty that restricts them from seeing the truth? This pic seems to indicate the latter.
