Trump Election Crimes Co-Defendants Who Copped Plea Drop Stunningly Absurd Apology Letters
Trump election crimes co-defendants who made plea agreements submitted stunning letters of apology as a requirement of their deals — stunning for their absurd brevity and curtness.
Four of Trump’s 18 co-defendants in the Georgia election crimes case brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis have already taken plea deals — pro-Trump attorneys Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell, and Kenneth Chesebro, and Trump supporter and former Georgia bail bondsman Scott Hall.
On Thursday, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution was first to report on and reveal the contents of three letters that they obtained as part of a records request.
Powell’s letter was the shortest and most opaque:
I apologize for my actions in connection with the events in Coffee County.
Chesebro, who is also cooperating with probes in Michigan and Wisconsin investigating the fake electors plot, was only a smidge more loquacious:
I apologize to the citizens of the State of Georgia and of Fulton County for my involvement in Count 15 of the indictment.
Hall’s letter, while self-serving, was much more fulsome in its detail and expression of remorse:
To the Citizens of the State of Georgia: I owe you an apology. I wish I had never involved myself in the post-election activities that brought me before the court. I have never before been in trouble with the law and I meant no harm to anyone.
I did what I did on my own. I was not acting on behalf of any organization or any other person or persons.
I became involved when I observed what I thought were some irregularities which I reported to law enforcement authorities. I was concerned. I went to the State Farm Arena on election night, to the subsequent recounts as an observer and was ultimately invited to Coffee County. Although I certainly did not mean to violate any laws, I now realize that I did and have accepted responsibility for my actions.
I offer my sincere apology to the Citizens of the State of Georgia.
Sincerely,
Scott Hall
Ellis read her tearful apology in court as she entered her guilty plea in October.
