    “If I knew then what I knew now, I would have declined to represent Donald Trump in these post-challenges. I look back on this experience with deep remorse,” Ellis said, her voice breaking at times.

    What she knows now is that the coup wouldn’t succeed and she would be liable for her part in a treasonous plot to overthrow the democratically elected candidate.

    IOW: “I’m sorry I got caught.”

        She she threw everyone else under the bus too. She’s not just out of law school, she’s in her late 30’s. I think she was blaming her own incompetence?
