Trump lawyer and conservative evangelical pundit Jenna Ellis is censured in Colorado for lying about the 2020 election

John Fea   |  March 9, 2023 1 Comment

It was all lies.

Jenna Ellis is a former Liberty University representative, Colorado Christian University law professor, former host of a podcast titled “Just the Truth,” and a Trump election fraud lawyer who, along with Rudolph Giuliani, tried to overturn the 2020 president election. She has had a lot to say about “truth”:

I stand with transparency, truth, and Tucker.

To be fair, the last thing CNN is interested in is the truth. https://t.co/BnQjYKRO1Z

Don’t do this. Wait for the facts. There is a lot more to this, I guarantee you.

Do you care about facts and truth or do you care more about cult personality? https://t.co/8svN9z67Y3

Transparency and the full truth is “unconscionable” to the Left. 🤡 https://t.co/TsUIN86cNd

Everyone should ultimately be after one thing: VERITAS – the TRUTH. #TheJennaEllisShow https://t.co/7xbzQeNxUb

She loves every opportunity to speak the truth:

This photo from B&N came up on my memories from 7 years ago!! Amazing what God has done in such a short time to bring these concepts I wrote about to incredible platforms… from working for a President to hosting a national radio show. I love every opportunity to speak TRUTH! ♥️ pic.twitter.com/9cXus21Rsf

God’s truth:

God’s truth used to be a central tenet of American society.

Now the left wants you to think this is “extreme” or “dangerous Christian Nationalism.” https://t.co/iEYD4QTjs2

The battle for truth:

LETTER TO THE AMERICAN CHURCH! @ericmetaxas joins me to urge Americans to wake up and recognize what’s happening in our culture and civil society. His call to action will prompt you to get off the sidelines and into the battle for Truth. #TheJennaEllisShow pic.twitter.com/7r7aaok0qG

Democrats manipulate the truth:

Like everything else they do to manipulate the truth, Democrats purposefully ignore America’s recognition of the right to life in our founding documents.https://t.co/sA0BGic4cr

Truth and stupidity:

Intelligence is primarily defined as one’s capacity to grasp the truth of things.

Saying that the liberal Leftists and LBGTQ agenda are stupid is not merely a pejorative; it is observable fact.

— Jenna Ellis 🇺🇸 (@JennaEllisEsq) February 8, 2023

So is that a no on caring about facts and truth?

Fair, for a guy who works for George Santos. 😅 https://t.co/w6a5h3AedO

— Jenna Ellis 🇺🇸 (@JennaEllisEsq) February 20, 2023

“allegiance to truth and fact”:

Sorry I keep disappointing you with my allegiance to truth and fact over personality cult. 😅

— Jenna Ellis 🇺🇸 (@JennaEllisEsq) February 20, 2023

She’s interested in “facts and truth”:

Who is running cover here? I’m interested in the facts and the truth here.

I’ve today tweeted James’ video and PV’s statement.

Are you interested in the facts or just running cover for James?

— Jenna Ellis 🇺🇸 (@JennaEllisEsq) February 21, 2023

She speaks unpopular truth:

Do I look like care how many people are “siding” with me? 😂 I speak unpopular truth, I’m not trying be nominated prom queen by the twitter mob. Toughen up, buttercup.

— Jenna Ellis 🇺🇸 (@JennaEllisEsq) March 4, 2023

She seeks to amplify truth:

The only reason I ever respond to idiots is to amplify truth. Same reason I posted the OP. It’s never about defending myself or reputation. God knows and He’s my only audience.

It’s sad so many people can’t figure out that we should all be concerned about truth and doctrine… https://t.co/PeZKDUwRf0

— Jenna Ellis 🇺🇸 (@JennaEllisEsq) March 1, 2023

Indeed, the TRUTH will come out:

Yes, and the truth will come out. I’m for the facts here, not blind trust.

Trust, but verify, and ask questions. Isn’t that what journalism is all about anyway?

Proverbs 18:17 “The person who tells one side of a story seems right, until someone else comes and asks questions.” https://t.co/Mg5RFytwNL

I think you get the idea. And these tweets are just from 2023.

Now here is Quentin Young at Colorado Newsline (bold is mine):

Jenna Ellis, the Colorado attorney who was former President Donald Trump’s senior legal advisor as he tried to overturn his 2020 election loss, has been censured by a Colorado judge for misconduct.

The public censure order was signed Wednesday by Presiding Disciplinary Judge Bryon M. Large, who oversees lawyer discipline cases in Colorado.

As part of an agreement in the case, Ellis admits that multiple statements she made in late 2020 about the presidential election being stolen were “misrepresentations.”

Those statements were part of an effort by Trump to reverse President Joe Biden’s victory, and they helped fuel the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. A majority of Republicans, including those running to chair the Colorado Republican Party, continue to doubt the 2020 election results.

Ellis had been under scrutiny by the Colorado Attorney Regulation Counsel Jessica Yates, who investigates allegations of lawyer misconduct, since at least last year when a nonprofit alleged Ellis violated multiple professional rules.

In an opinion accepting a censure agreement between Yates and Ellis, Large noted that Ellis has agreed that her statements about the election being stolen were misrepresentations, which he said were made “with at least a reckless state of mind.” Ellis also agreed that she, “through her conduct, undermined the American public’s confidence in the presidential election, violating her duty of candor to the public,” Large wrote, adding that “a selfish motive” and “a pattern of misconduct” were aggravating factors in the case.

Yates’ complaint cited 10 misrepresentations by Ellis. On Nov. 20, 2020, for example, Ellis made stolen-election claims on Maria Bartiromo’s show on Fox Business and Sean Spicer’s “Spicer & Co.” show.

“We have affidavits from witnesses, we have voter intimidation, we have the ballots that were manipulated, we have all kinds of statistics that show that this was a coordinated effort in all of these states to transfer votes either from Trump to Biden, to manipulate the ballots, to count them in secret,” Ellis falsely said on Bartiromo’s show.

Read the rest here.

Between the recent news from the Dominion Systems v. Fox News suit and now this, I can’t agree more with David French:

    Ellis wants people to believe “misrepresentation” is an innocent mistake:

    “The politically-motivated Left failed miserably in their attempt to destroy me. They’re now trying to falsely discredit me by saying I admitted I lied. That is FALSE. I would NEVER lie. Lying requires INTENTIONALLY making a false statement. I never did that, nor did I stipulate to or admit that. As has become sadly typical, the opposition-controlled media is intentionally twisting the truth, conflating the full RPC standard with the actual stipulation. The standard reads, ‘dishonesty, fraud, deceit, OR misrepresentation.’”

    The actual meaning is somewhat different: “A misrepresentation is a false or misleading statement or a material omission which renders other statements misleading, with intent to deceive. Misrepresentation is one the elements of common law fraud, and other causes of action for fraud, such as securities fraud.”
