Jordan Rubin is the Deadline: Legal Blog writer. He was a prosecutor for the New York County District Attorney’s Office in Manhattan and is the author of “Bizarro,' a book about the secret war on synthetic drugs. Before he joined MSNBC, he was a legal reporter for Bloomberg Law.

As the guilty pleas pile up in Georgia, the question arises: Which remaining defendants are now facing even greater legal peril? Jenna Ellis’ fresh plea deal spotlights a big one of the 15 left: Rudy Giuliani. Indeed, the former lawman turned Trump stooge is listed alongside Ellis throughout the racketeering indictment, and her guilty plea Tuesday directly implicates him.

But Ellis, who made a tearful statement in court Tuesday, is seemingly prepared to implicate Giuliani and others if called to the stand, having cast herself as an ingenue who relied on more-experienced colleagues in Trump world who should have known better. One wonders, though: Would a jury look at Giuliani and others in the MAGA menagerie and think they could have been trusted? We’re a bit far off from that scenario.
