Trump’s former lawyer Jenna Ellis, who is one of the 19 co-defendants in the Georgia election interference case, has been sending a very clear message since being arrested last week: She doesn’t give AF m-er f-ers! …Now please send her your money to pay for her legal bills. God bless!
Since her arrest last week, Ellis, who first started working for Trump in 2019 as a senior legal adviser for his re-election campaign then stayed around to challenge the legitimacy of the 2020 election results after he lost, has put on a defiant front, branding herself as hybrid between a teenage rebel, an American patriot, and a Christian martyr.
After being released from jail, the 38-year-old took to Instagram to share her smiling mugshot and to proudly declare herself a “political prisoner” fighting against “a weaponized government” on behalf of Christians across the nation and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
“Today I became a political prisoner. The leftist regime is trying to criminalize the practice of law,” she wrote. “I stand with all Christians, conservatives and other patriots who have been unjustly targeted by a weaponized government. I call on every American to pray for our Nation.”
She followed that up by making light of the situation by sharing a mugshot meme and another line about her deep Christian faith.
“This process is intended to demoralize and intimidate us. I refuse to let it,” she wrote. “I will have joy and peace in all circumstances because it is TRUE for the Christian that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
Throughout all this, Ellis has been fundraising to cover her legal expenses through the crowdfunding site GiveSendGo. In addition to soliciting donations, she has also been accepting prayers through the giving platform.
So far, she’s raised almost $200,000 from roughly 2,600 donors and over 7,000 prayers, with the largest donation appearing to come from right-wing conspiracy theorist Dinesh D’Souza and his wife, Debbie, who gave $10,000.
Ellis, who is currently out of jail after posting a $100,000 bail last week, is charged with two counts: one of solicitation of violation of oath by public officer and the other of violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. She has denied any wrongdoing. If convicted, she could face up to 20 years in prison.
If you’re wondering why she’s not having her legal expenses covered by Trump, like so many other people ensnared in his numerous lawsuits, it’s because his Save America PAC is reportedly broke after burning through almost $150 million.
Per USA Today:
His key fund has spent nearly all of the more than $150 million it raised and is sitting on less than $4 million, according to the latest numbers available. He has already dug into his fund for 2024 ads and borrowed money to post bail in Georgia. And some of his allies are begging for donations, saying he won’t pony up.
White collar criminal defense attorneys who spoke to USA TODAY estimated his legal bills will total millions, if not tens of millions, largely because he is a defendant in four criminal cases but also because of his notoriety.
Prior to being indicted last week, Ellis, who has called LGBTQ+ people (who she sometimes refers to as “LGBTQIAAblahblahblah”) “sinners”, “vile”, and “abominable”, was censured by legal officials in Colorado last March after she admitted to making 10 “misrepresentations” during Trump’s attempts to stay in power after losing to Joe Biden in 2020.

If you find yourself in the same room as her (or any other GOP mess) you might want to.

Jesus saves what? Rubberbands? Coupons?

Jesus saves MONEY and sends prayers instead! Look at her prayers vs donations numbers
peluzo
Can I register a prayer for her to get arrested on her GiveSendGo account?
abfab
Here’s one….
Hail Mary
Full of grace
The lord is NOT with thee
peluzo
She recieved over 7000 prayers donations but only 2600 gave actual money… its slim pickings over at MAGA world

It has been reported that the Traffic Cone of Treason is not paying her legal fees because she has expressed support for Governor DeSaster of Florida. The explanation offered here wouldn’t explain why Ellis would be the one cutoff while others are still having their fees paid, but Gremore.

Penance vs pant less. So, close. I see of a lot of God coming in your life

Maybe Jesus will come back and represent her in court.
abfab
It’s been said many times before…….Jews make the best lawyers. Oy vay……Jesus! Object already!
Mister P
If she is convicted, will she get to choose eternity in hell or stoning as punishment?

In all fairness, a misguided meshuggeneh moron who poses for a mug shot as if it were a prom photo and then claims a long-ago dead carpenter will save her from prison at least gets points for consistency.
Prax07
If she believes a fake son of a god will save her, maybe “praying” to his fictional opposite will send the bitch to prison? Hail Satan, send all Trumpers to prison to get shanked Repeatedly and their “souls” sent right on down to You.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSanits said there had been 40 successful rescues made since Wednesday night after Idalia left “significant damage” across the state.
Wow, guv…………you da man!

Florida, more than any other state, should be prepared to deal with hurricanes. I doubt there’s ever been a Florida governor who didn’t have to deal with a hurricane. He should worry about how people can afford to insure their homes.

38? I thought this hag was at least 48. It must be the stress-eating she has clearly been engaging in. Only someone filled with nothing but hatred and complete disregard for the law would deem herself a ‘Christian.’

The last time I saw that delirious smile it was in a 1971 article about Leslie Van Houten at the Manson Family trial.

Well her hair will look good with an orange jumpsuit, at least until it grows and the roots start showing. I pray that she finds true love in prison. I wonder if she knows the tongue is the strongest muscle in the body.
toddlicious
Can’t wait for her god to judge her and call her a liar to her face as he sends her to her hell
JanDivine
I will be happy to send prayers but nix on the money. The blood of Jesus will take care of that.
scotty
suffer, bitch.
barryaksarben
Many of us are praying that she go to prison as the traitor she is. In prison she can learn many things like Martha Stewart like what wine goes with pu**y. have fun you creepy weird religious zealot

Trump hires only the best and the brightest. Another shining example. When she gets to prison, she’ll be yelling “Jesus!!” a lot when her cellmate is taking her from behind with a strap on.

SHE SHOULD BE FOUND GUILTY AND THEN EXECUTED.
