      Because the infection of Fascism and White Christian Nationalism has too many others in power who were in a position to soften her judgement; or too many are still in denial and aren’t willing to mete out definitive judgements to stop things before they can go further.

      The rot goes deep and is nowhere near to being rooted out, and the US legal system seems to be locked in ‘kid gloves’ mode in dealing with these people.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The Colorado attorney discipline authorities approved the suspension because of Ellis’ admissions in the Georgia case, where others such as Eastman, Giuliani and Trump himself are still fighting the charges.

    Ellis pleaded guilty last year to one felony count of aiding and abetting false statements and will cooperate with Fulton County prosecutors.

    Prior to her guilty plea in Georgia, the same attorney discipline judge that suspended her in Colorado signed off on publicly censuring Ellis for 10 misrepresentations she made following the 2020 election, such as in media appearances where she insisted Trump won “in a landslide.”

    Last week, Ellis wrote to the Colorado Supreme Court disciplinary authorities, in a fulsome mea culpa for her role in spreading Trump’s election lies, according to documents made public related to her attorney discipline proceedings.

    This letter from Ellis goes even further than the apology she gave in court in Georgia when she pleaded guilty, which focused more on her own remorse and did not describe as thoroughly how she believed Trump’s lies penetrated his campaign and the country after the 2020 election.

    Ellis was also charged in Arizona last month for allegedly conspiring to overturn the 2020 presidential election results, along with a number of fake electors and several other individuals connected to Trump’s campaign.
