Every time one of the Wonkette writers uses that clip, I always feel compelled to offer this counterpoint from Discworld -- specifically, "Going Postal":

“You wrote everything down, Crispin?” he said. “Why?”
Crispin looked appalled. “Got to keep records, Reacher,” he said. “Can’t cover y’ tracks if you don’t know where y’left ’em. Then . . . can put it all back, see, hardly a crime at all.” He tried to tap the side of his nose, and missed.
Mymy, that's a different Jenna than we saw in her mug shot. I guess the reality of working for Donald hit home when he quit paying for her lawyers. Honey we could have told you what would happen.
Repubs have redefined what the word "Christian" means. It seems that each of them is creating a God in their own image. Or in trump's, which is even worse.
“She’ll have to pay $5,000 restitution, write an apology letter to the citizens of Georgia, serve five years probation, and testify against all her co-defendants.”
Holy shit does that sound like a sensational deal, she better have some serious dirt.
“She had a 2 p.m. flight to catch, and prevailed upon Judge McAfee to spare her complying with the very conditions she’d just agreed to five minutes earlier. The judge made some vague gestures toward working it out off the record, and the hearing was adjourned.”
Apparently The Cheese loses his automatically in NY as a convicted felon. Looks like Jenna gets a hearing in CO, but since she's already been censured, it does not bode well for her license. Kraken raised $14 million so who cares? Keep in mind none of these people have federal immunity for all the federal crimes they are currently admitting to.
this is a woman who has never had to face the real life consequences of her actions and is totally unaware that the harm she does to others with her disingenuous act, bad faith performances and shitty behaviour has a long term impact. she should have been jailed the minute she protested the deal conditions she'd agreed to
You're being nice. She wouldn't care about long term impact. She cares about one person. I really hope she pushes too far. She needs to do some time in Reality land.
Remember all the legal pundits who said Fani didn't know what she was doing or was taking the wrong approach. Let's hear them eat their words!
Nah.
I continued to be delighted Trump's being prosecuted by black women and a guy who prosecutes war criminals.
Fani has been kicking ass! I do think she waited way too long to file this, however she did it!
My concern today is that these get off easy deals will be made a mockery of like Powell is doing and produce zero consequences
My question is, who is next of the Georgia indicted to plead out?
Heard the news about Mark Meadows...that really must make Trump's stomach churn

Hey, I didn't say it was a *good* counterpoint.
That book was wonderfully wacky!!
It's like Court Cam but without the fist fights and taserings.

"Let’s see if Pumpkin Spice Barbie actually gets on that plane this afternoon. Could be the fastest revocation of probation yet!"
Did she?
She is a trash dumpster.

I'm glad Jenna Ellis will not be going to prison. It would have lowered the tone of the place.
You gotta wonder why a good Christian woman like Ellis ever thought it was a good idea to work for the least Christian man in the world?

Ah. There we go.
I’m floating on air from all this winning!!!
Don't think I'd like to hire Constitutional scholar Jenna as my attorney, although that act alone might support a diminished mental capacity defense.
Half of all scholars perform in the lowest 50%.
Thank you for posting full video of the guilty pleas. It's important that people hear exactly what Cheseboro, Ellis and Powell have admitted guilt of.
Not a lawyer or a felon....but doesn't a felony make your law license go poof? At least temporarily?
Has anyone lost their license is this whole thing yet?

Didn't Roodles and John Eastman lose theirs behind all this?
I wouldn't hire her for a traffic ticket.
That's what got her into this mess in the first place: No one would hire her for traffic court.
Exactly what I was wondering - you'd hope that it would.
Wait? meadows flipped?! Make it so.
Just seeing that myself. And I’m fresh outta popcorn😢
The article reads better with this open in another tab. https://youtu.be/XJtFCo9Xro4?si=gITqF1qUriPSgy1k
I’ve got Orville Movie Theater in mini-microwaveable bags. Will slide one into the thread.
the very fact that she tried to get out of it before the session had even closed screams white girl entitlement and makes me quite cross
This whole thing screams of “I said I was sorry, what else you you want from me”
To really mean it?
perfect encapsulation!
Her entire life screams white girl entitlement
Gets canned for being shitty, whines that she "did her best"
On what planet would that prevent you from being fired for being shitty other than whitepriviledgetopia?
Then gets gigs at "christian" grift schools
Wonder if she went to that jerry Falwell school of law?
Is that "Liberty (bibbirty) U"? Is that grift still operating, or did Jerry Falwell, Jr. sell it for pool boy tip money?

Those fake white girl tears annoyed the shit out of me.
