The Risk of Guilty Pleas and a Unique Threat: Trump's Concerns and the Need for Legal Reform

Guilty pleas from former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis and other defendants in the Georgia 2020 election interference case pose a significant risk to Donald Trump. These "senior participants" in the alleged scheme to overturn the election include lawyers Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro, as well as a bail bondsman named Scott Hall. The guilty pleas undermine the false facts and legal theories pushed by these individuals, making the case harder to attack politically. As more defendants enter guilty pleas, the prosecution's case strengthens, potentially leading to self-admitted co-conspirators testifying against Trump.
