Disgraced Former Trump Attorney Has Some Interesting Advice For The Ex-President

Making federal courts even more conservative isn't a popular idea.

Jenna Ellis

Last we heard from former MAGA attorney/election denier Jenna Ellis, she was making a tear-soaked guilty plea in the Georgia election interference RICO case — becoming the third attorney to flip on the former president, Donald Trump (behind Sidney Powell and Ken Chesebro). But her desperate bid for attention continues, this time with an interview with Politico as she opines on the state of the 2024 election.

At least her answers about *this* presidential election don’t immediately lean towards election denial. Look at that personal growth!

Ellis notes the risk of Christian voters sitting out this election, and throws out this piece of advice for the former president’s campaign.

In 2016 [Trump] won in part because judicial appointments was a key issue, so (in addition to the border and the economy) he should draw attention to how extreme a Harris administration’s federal nominees would be.

Trump has already re-made the Supreme Court in his image…. and the approval rating of the Court has been sinking accordingly. We’re at a shockingly low 38% approval for the Court — down a whopping 20% from the high water mark of 58% in March of 2017. And 45% say the current Court is too conservative. Maybe focusing on making the judiciary even more conservative isn’t a winning strategy.
