    “As an attorney who is also a Christian, I take my responsibilities as a lawyer very seriously and I endeavor to be a person of sound moral and ethical character in all of my dealings,” Ellis said. But after the 2020 election, “I failed to do my due diligence,” she said. “I relied on others, including lawyers with many more years of experience than I, to provide me with true and reliable information … what I did not do, but should have done, your honor, was to make sure that the facts the other lawyers alleged to be true were, in fact, true,” Ellis said.

    LOL, the good ol’ “wasn’t me” defense. Nice to see she’s taking a leaf out of dumpty’s playbook.
