Former Trump lawyer censured by Colorado judge for falsehoods about election

“Respondent, through her conduct, undermined the American public’s confidence in the presidential election, violating her duty of candor to the public,” wrote Bryon M. Large, the disciplinary judge in the case.

Ellis becomes the latest pro-Trump attorney penalized for their attempts to overturn the 2020 election. Nine lawyers in Michigan in 2021 were ordered to pay $175,000 in sanctions for a sham suit seeking to overturn the election in that swing state. The District of Columbia's bar association disciplinary counsel in December called for the suspension of former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's law license for pursuing a baseless lawsuit challenging Biden's win in Pennsylvania.

Ellis is based in Washington, DC, but is from Colorado and has also practiced in the state. She served as a deputy district attorney for Weld County from 2012 to 2013, when she was fired from the position.

Through her attorney, Michael Melito, Ellis stipulated to both the findings that she'd made misrepresentations and the censure. Melito did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Don't know what pressure or circumstances let to this stipulation, but once again Trump has been done bad by an ally.

I still distrust rat election conduct, but that said, POT on the ballot gets a lot hordes of degenerates voting, and that's what we had with Cannibala Harris on the ticket with Biden, as well as concurrent legalization propositions in many states.

So if our leaders question the integrity of the election process they are punished.

Keep taking away our options, facists....

More psyh-ops BS.

You can't allege "falsehoods about election" without examining IF those allegations were false. But they won't do that.

The judge throws out the lawsuit so evidence cannot be presented, then censures the plaintiff. Sick

Lawfare...an art mastered by Rat Party Headquarters thanks to the undeniable fact that 95% of the nation's lawyers are Rat Party supporters.

Judge Large is a hack: DENVER – The Colorado Supreme Court today announced it has appointed 17th Judicial
District Magistrate Bryon Large to the position of Presiding Disciplinary Judge. Magistrate Large will replace the Hon. William R. Lucero, who is retiring. The vacancy will occur on May 31, 2022. A sixth-generation Coloradan, Magistrate Large earned his undergraduate degree at the University of New Mexico and his law degree at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law.
Since August 2020, he has served as a magistrate in Adams County, where he presides over domestic relations cases. Before that, he served for four years as Assistant Regulation Counsel in the Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel, where he was responsible for investigating and prosecuting attorney discipline cases. He was in private practice from 2007 to 2014, handling a variety of immigration cases.

Bar Associations seem to me to be a Monopoly whereas they can dictate privledge based on any reasoning they can come up with that a lawyer can be sanctioned or disbarred.

Why is it that a Bar Association is even needed?

What real service do they provide other than deciding who is in the club?

"the undeniable fact that 95% of the nation's lawyers are Rat Party supporters."

And where do 100% of the Judges come from? AMBULANCE-CHASERS/LAWYERS.

There is NO WAY the corrupt politicians and Election Theft can be eliminated, because the Courts are run by the perps.....

So I guess states like Texas, Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, South Dakota, Wyoming, etc. need to start disciplining Democrat attorneys anytime and every time they bring up a sham suit on behalf of their clients?

“So if our leaders question the integrity of the election process they are punished.”

Purpose being to scare away any further cases being brought.

“The statements include claiming on Jeanine Pirro’s Fox News show on Dec. 5, 2020 that “we have over 500,000 votes (in Arizona) that were cast illegally””

How many bogus votes were there in Arizona I wonder?

"Respondent, through her conduct, undermined the American public’s confidence in the presidential election..."

Why didn't we hear this kind of nonsense when Clintoon and her Ugly Girls Gone Wild Club was raising holy hell about Trump not being their president because he didn't win the election. The Turd Rolling Dung Beetles are the worst hypocrites there are.

How are people supposed to have confidence in an election if questioning its integrity is made into a thought crime?

The judicial system is as corrupt as the voting system.

Something you should find out before mentioning it, since if it's not due to ethics violations, it's not relevant to allegations of such violations.
