The watchdog groups contend the actions Ellis admitted to — namely making false statements to foster suspicion of President Joe Biden’s victory — violated her oath as an attorney to uphold the law.
They also argue Ellis’ actions since pleading guilty prove she’s not yet accepted responsibility.
“At her allocution in Georgia, she attempted to cast her criminal conduct as a mere failure to conduct due diligence,” the groups write.
“These statements elide her more than a decade of experience as a barred attorney and fall far short of demonstrating the type of contrition that would warrant lesser discipline.”

Yeah I’ll admit I had to read that sentence a couple times before it got through to me that “barred” meant she was admitted to the bar.
Also TIL elide = to strike out, abridge https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/elide
