Ellis, who tearfully pleaded guilty in October to a felony in Georgia over her failed efforts to overturn Trump’s loss there

Ellis was sentenced to five years probation in the Georgia case and was ordered to perform 100 hours of community service. She also agreed to cooperate with prosecutors in their case against Trump and other co-defendants

Pleaded guilty to a felony and she gets probation and community service? I got community service for a drinking ticket in college. I should've tried to overthrow democracy instead. She should be kissing the court's feet she isn't in prison.

I came here to make exactly the same point. Fuck the United States judicial system.
