Ellis flips.

Five years' probation
$5000 restitution
Apology to the People of the State of Georgia
Testimony cooperation agreement

The charge she is pleading guilty to is "aiding and abetting false statements and writings," in relation to the Dec 3, 2020, presentation before the Georgia State Senate committee, where Guiliani and others presented false testimony that:

96,000+ mail in ballots were counted falsely
2500 convicted felons voted,
66,000+ underage people voted,
almost 2500 non-registered people voted
1000+ people voted registered using a PO box
10,315 dead people voted
Fulton County election workers ordered a poll watcher and media to leave and continued to count votes

Ms. Ellis makes a statement to the court at ~17:00, which appears to be her apology statement to the People of the State of Georgia.

At the end of the proceedings, defense requests that Ms. Ellis be allowed to travel out of state prior to the probation being transferred to her state of residence (Florida). The State does not oppose this, and the exception is granted.

The apology she read to the judge was blame-shifting BS. The full thing is here, but the relevant chunk that made me furious was:

What I did not do, but should have done, your honor, is to make sure that the facts that the other lawyers alleged to be true were, in fact, true. In the frenetic pace of attempting to raise challenges to the election in several states, including Georgia, I failed to do my due diligence.

No. F-U. The specific challenges YOU were making were for ridiculous claims too outrageous for unquestioned acceptance. If you were told unicorns befuddled the vote count, would you believe that, too? If so, you should be immediately disbarred.

To your point.

Another thing that stood out to me is how she is absolutely incapable of keeping a smarmy smirk off of her face, throughout all of her responses admitting guilt - until it was time for her to read that letter, then here come the waterworks.

Bets on who's going to flip next? I think Misty Hampton probably will go soon. She's such a low end player, and the other two involved with Coffee County already pleaded (Powell and Hall). Ray Smith, I believe, was one of the two co-conspirators named in this hearing with Ellis in the Dec 3, 2020 presentation to the GA Senate committee - along with Guiliani. Pressure has got to be mounting on Rudy pretty hard, considering he's broke now, but he's so wacko (or drunk), who knows what's going on in his head.

Oh lordy, that smirk! Play-acting. Grrrr. I'm sure she thinks the whole thing is sooo unjust.
