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.

Tries to steal electron for Trump: 5 years probation

Steals and distributes Trump's tax records: 5 years prison and the judge wishing they could throw more against the terrorist to democracy

Agreed to cooperate with prosecutors in their case against Trump.

Like any other organized crime operation where the boss has others do his dirty work, the only way that you are going to get the boss is by convincing the foot soldiers to give up the boss. Unfortunately, it means having to make deals with the small fish to catch the whale.

Did you have connections and money? Very important step.

Your starting build is also important. White Christian rich lady is basically “story mode”

I’ve already started but I’m finding that life is more difficult than I prefer. Can I change the difficulty?

Ideally, I’d like a sandbox mode. I don’t really see how I’m supposed to buy a house or afford both healthcare and groceries at the same time. If I could just have more money and opportunities in general then it would be a much better experience.

If not, at least have a backup plan: someone to flip on in exchange for a sweetheart deal.

Agreeing to cooperate with prosecutors against Trump and co-defendants is the reason she’s not in prison.

Really? No consequences for the orange turd so far. Just saying.

Agreeing to cooperate in the case is no guarantee it’ll be successful.

Hell the trial probably won't even happen, this judge and the Georgia Supreme Court are only starting to throw sand in the engine.

She pled out in a RICO case. It's standard for the first ones to flip to get sweetheart deals. Powell and Chesebro also got off easy. It's to incentivize small fish to flip early on the big fish to bolster the case.

Does it satisfy our collective justice boners? No. This is pretty SOP though.

Yup exactly. The goal is to get her to flip with a sweetheart deal, because now she’s forced to testify against everyone else involved. Either she testifies, or the deal gets ripped out from underneath her and she goes down with the rest of them.

Honestly, she is more useful for prosecutors and I'm actually ok with her not doing prison time as long as she is 100% onboard on putting the Cheeto Mussolini behind bars.
