My friends, everybody has their down days, and during these long winter months it is especially easy to succumb to the doldrums and find yourself in a bit of a funk. But not to fear! I have a simple tip that’s guaranteed to pick you up and get you back in good spirits in no time, and here it is: Whenever you’re…

In a free press, journalists must expose the truth even if it upsets those in power. Our work often leads to significant backlash, and we at The Onion are no strangers to receiving threats of legal action. While we generally dismiss them as the baseless accusations they are, we recently found an old cease-and-desist letter from the president’s personal attorney that has caused us to reexamine this policy.

First footnote:

The government also asks the court to incorporate the Order into Defendant’s conditions of release. Resp. in Opp’n to Mot. to Stay, ECF No. 120, at 30–32. The court hereby DENIES that request without prejudice. Even assuming that request is procedurally proper, the court concludes that granting it is not necessary to effectively enforce the Order at this time.

Ellis flips.

• Five years' probation
• $5000 restitution
• Apology to the People of the State of Georgia
• Testimony cooperation agreement

The charge she is pleading guilty to is "aiding and abetting false statements and writings," in relation to the Dec 3, 2020, presentation before the Georgia State Senate committee, where Guiliani and others presented false testimony that:

• 96,000+ mail in ballots were counted falsely
• 2500 convicted felons voted,
• 66,000+ underage people voted,
• almost 2500 non-registered people voted
• 1000+ people voted registered using a PO box
• 10,315 dead people voted
• Fulton County election workers ordered a poll watcher and media to leave and continued to count votes

Ms. Ellis makes a statement to the court at ~17:00, which appears to be her apology statement to the People of the State of Georgia.

At the end of the proceedings, defense requests that Ms. Ellis be allowed to travel out of state prior to the probation being transferred to her state of residence (Florida). The State does not oppose this, and the exception is granted.
