>> we began researching all the comments that jenna ellis said. tracked down every comment she made publicly from the end of the election until january 6th. we compiled them. we put it together. and then we analyze the rules of professional conduct in colorado and impounded all the various ways in which he had violated those rules, violated those standards, violated the oath that she took to become a lawyer. we made it clear to the colorada supreme court, i think, the she had violated those responsibilities. >> what we read about this today, she agrees, in writing, to what you are saying. >> yes. she has agreed with. it she had to. she stipulated this outcome. she stipulated to the fact that she had lied. she stipulated the facts she violated the rules of professional conduct. and she made clear that she had knowingly, at the very, least knowingly misrepresented facts to the american people. >> what else is happening to other lawyers who engaged in this kind of conduct for trump? >> we have seen rudy giuliani is close to losing his law license in

i think the jenna ellis case is a case study in cravenness.een someone who represents a lot of things we've seen during the trump years, knows something is wrong, lies about it, says they're doing it for love of country of but really they're doing it for love of self. this is the same as the person who protects their hide on the playground by saddling up to the bully. but in this case the bully didn't want to rough kids up, the bully wanted to take the world's oldest democratic republic and throw it on top of a bonfire and torch it. and i really think that is the apex of cravinness. it's not just about one person. i think this whole fox news scandal, the big lie scandal and the people who continue to perpetuate the lie are an extraordinary microcosm of our society. you asked why hasn't there been consequences and accountability? part of it is because we are so far into our echo chambers that fox's own viewers don't see any need for accountability. i mean, why isn't paul ryan running from his board seat and quitting his job? that's because paul

stolen, and a majority or at least a goo chunk of the republican party, it's because of people lik jenna ellis and her law licens does not give her the licens to lie to the american peopl like that. >> i think it's important to distinguish, between eastman giuliani, howell, and ellis. on the one hand, and passantin on the other because what they did they did publicly we saw there sins. we could respond they could be challenged passantino was working quietly all he had to do was rely on hutchinson's compliance with his instruction. except for her bravery, he courage. her recognition that something was wrong here and her willingness to speak up which is remarkable for such a young person in a majo position like this we might never know about this he was working quietly secretly, working his illega and unethical conduct agains back, against hutchinson, an against the committee, and against the administration o justice. if the allegations are true. >> that is such an important distinction, professor stephen gillers and neal katyal, thank you both very much for startin off our discussions tonight.

after trump's loss, jenna ellis was part of trump's legal team, going on the air, traveling the country, feeding this idea that either they wanted to challenge the results, which i emphasized is a legal right. they can file cases. but that curdled into something else, the lie that the case couldn't win. when the cases kept losing they kept claiming publicly the whole thing was stolen. now ms. ellis is saying in a way she's changing her story. she's saying she knowingly misrepresented several of the facts in her appearances and statements. this is part of an agreement to accept censure from the colorado bar, reminding people who work in court -- ellis agreeing that her work for trump, quote, caused actual harm, undermining the american public's confidence in the election. and we should note in our efforts to fact check, hear from sources and cover this in realtime, here's what happened when that same individual jenna ellis joined us on "the beat." this was three weeks after trump's loss. >> the election was stolen and president trump won by a landslide and how you're mischaracterizing th

. - jenna ellis... - he could take military capabilities, and he could place them in those states andeneral, you know, and a group of lawyers who probably couldn't get hired by a c-grade law firm. they're technically lawyers, but they're willing to say, like, any damn thing. they're willing to say that the deceased president of venezuela somehow orchestrated a way to steal ballots and fly them to germany? - the dominion voting systems, the smartmatic technology software, were created in venezuela at the direction of hugo chavez. - it's loony, but so is qanon, and people believe that. - we let this happen, we're gonna become venezuela. - at one point, rudy giuliani decides they were gonna do a press conference at the four seasons, but their operation is so incompetent, they wind up at, like, i think it might be, like, a massage parlor. - yes, the four seasons. but it was, like, the four seasons laundromat. - four seasons total landscaping. they end up at four seasons total landscaping. apologies to four seasons. you are not a massage parlor. you're a landscaping company. - there are de
