“Jenna Ellis, who assisted Donald Trump after the 2020 election then pleaded guilty last year in the Georgia election subversion case, has had her law license suspended in Colorado,” CNN reports. “The suspension begins July 2, according to a signed order from a state judge in Colorado.

Jenna Ellis, a Colorado native and former lawyer for then-President Donald Trump in 2020, will not be allowed to practice law in Colorado for at least three years under an agreement approved Tuesday by the Colorado Supreme Court. Ellis, who is from Longmont, had faced the possibility of total disbarment after pleading guilty in October to a felony in Georgia related to efforts to overturn Trump’s 2020 election loss there.

Taking a page from diminished Donald, the Academy Award-winning actor listed many of Trump's heinous actions throughout his lie-filled life -- to warn the American people what would happen if he wins this election. ROBERT DENIRO: That Donald Trump is just across the street because he doesn't belong in my city. I don't know where he belongs, but he surely doesn't belong here.

There are two times people make really bad mistakes: When they’re over-confident and when they’re desperate. The Biden administration is not over-confident.
