Trump lawyer & conservatives disown vocal pro-MAGA attorney Lin Wood after he says Pence may 'face FIRING SQUAD for treason'
A lawyer on the Trump campaign and a number of conservative allies have distanced themselves from attorney Lin Wood, a loud backer of the president, after he accused VP Mike Pence of “treason,” saying he’d face a “firing squad.”
Jenna Ellis, a senior legal adviser on President Donald Trump’s campaign team, took to Twitter on Friday night to disavow Wood’s claim that the vice president is guilty of “treason” and could be slapped with the death penalty, stating: “To be clear: I do not support the statements from Attorney Lin Wood. I support the rule of law and the US Constitution.”
To be clear: I do not support the statements from Attorney Lin Wood. I support the rule of law and the U.S. Constitution.

Hours earlier, Wood posted a lengthy thread alleging that a shadowy cabal of “globalists” had plotted to steal the 2020 election from Trump, consisting of the Chinese Communist Party, Democrats, the CIA, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and progressive bankroller George Soros – as well as “the Republicans.”
“When arrests for treason begin, put Chief Justice John Roberts, VP Mike Pence [and] Mitch McConnell at [the] top of list,” he went on – apparently angry that Pence’s lawyers challenged a lawsuit seeking to allow the VP to disqualify electoral college votes when they are officially counted later this month, which has since been shot down in court.
