Team Trump attorney Jenna Ellis is advising the president against use of the Insurrection Act as he continues to contest the results of the November election.
The Insurrection Act of 1807 is a federal law that gives the president the authority, under very specific circumstances, to deploy the U.S. armed forces to quell civil disorder, rebellion, or insurrection. As explained by Ellis, in this case it would involve the president taking "the military and going to seize assets in state sovereignties," for example the Dominion Voting Systems machines.
"Certainly, I would not advise that the American people want that" because of the "precedent that it would set," said Ellis.
"We have a constitutional process for a reason, and we have the judicial branch that really does need to step in," she told "The Water Cooler" host David Brody. "I think that the Supreme Court absolutely let the American people down by refusing to take up the Texas case."
Despite her disappointment in the judicial branch and the behavior of some state lawmakers, Ellis emphasized that use of the Insurrection Act is not how the founders envisioned the law being applied. The framers put in place guardrails that come before use of "the military option," she said.
"The state legislatures, they can look at all of this corruption, they can look at how their laws and their states were totally ignored, and they can take back their delegates at any time," said Ellis. "And they can refuse to go along with the certifications that are absolutely false and fraudulent. So that's the constitutional solution."
As the Jan. 6 meeting of Congress to count the Electoral College results draws nearer, members of the president's inner circle are beginning to contemplate the longer term implications, beyond just a Biden presidency,

What’s all of this about Prez wanting folks to come to DC?
Heads up to Jenna the phony: We want that!
I have wondered the same thing. The time for rallies is long over.
And having multiple states conduct election fraud and certifying the results doesn’t do that?
How exactly does following codified law violate the constitution? She’s ok, but I still cannot believe she is the best attorney he could have obtained.
Didnt she post some anti Trump thing back in the day?
She may have got off on the wrong foot the first day she heard the idea. She may not understand whats at stake.
unless something will happen based on DNI report
Jenna, vote fraud undermines the constitution, ignoring vote fraud undermines the constitution, purposely going along with a fraud undermines the constitution.
SHes gotta be kidding
The freaking Rats have walked all over the Constitution
The Act is meant to UNDO the harm. Dumb slut!
The Insurrection Act is not martial law. It’s for a specific areas and the military Works in conjunction with civilian authorities. I think he needs to tell Jenna Ellis to take a flying leap !
What I wanna know is how will this work to return President Trump to office come January 21. Let’s say he invokes the Insurrection Act. Let’s say he declares martial law.
What then?
“Didnt she post some anti Trump thing back in the day?”
Yes, she claims she was anti-Trump initially but changed her mind after seeing him in office.
Well after reading her scripted psyop chinese written garbage we can safely tell her to stand in front of those “ don’t want this” crowd you lie about and repeat it... Oh btw, she would be talking to an empty field.
So few Representatives of the people, so many representatives for their bank balance thieves.
Dick Morris was on Newsmax earlier saying that Trump didn’t want to use the Insurrection Act because it would negatively influence the judges hearing the lawsuits. If they won’t do the right thing anyhow, it doesn’t matter. Seeking the state legislatures to intervene doesn’t change the fraudulent elections for the House and Senate. The fastest way to seize the voting machines is with the Insurrection Act. Once they have the evidence, it gets harder to ignore the facts of what happened.
It must be getting too hot to handle for medias and lawyers. Most of them are all bailing except a few.
she’s wrong. we need to seize all those machines. now Mr. President.
