The apology letters written by two of the attorneys who struck plea agreements in the Fulton County election interference case are just one sentence long and hand-written on lined notebook paper.

“I apologize for my actions in connection with the events in Coffee County,” lawyer Sidney Powell stated in her letter on Oct. 19.

“I apologize to the citizens of the State of Georgia and of Fulton County for my involvement in Count 15 of the indictment,” attorney Kenneth Chesebro wrote a day letter.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution obtained the letters from defendants Kenneth Chesebro, Sidney Powell and Scott Hall on Thursday through an open records request.

1. They are like children forced to apologize to the teacher

[BlueKota]

9. They should have had to write I am sorry 100 Times times

like we had to do back in the Catholic School I went to in the 60's and 70's

2. Journalists got this. Subscribe to your local papers, folks. Please.

3. My local paper was bought by RWNJ. It's worse than Fox and Fiends.

[Easterncedar]

4. I am so sorry. For us all.

I am so old I remember when we got a morning paper and an evening paper, every day of the week.

But there are good online services to support, too.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

8. Yes, it took about a year, but now we have an online replacement for local news.

6. Ours was bought by billionaire Adelson

And made even more biased than Fox. But you have to buy that to get the Sun.

.........Ellis, a lawyer who worked for the Trump campaign, tearfully read her apology letter in front of McAfee during a hearing in October.

“I look back on this whole experience with deep remorse,” she said.

During an interview with The AJC earlier this week, Willis compared the apology letters to spouses saying sorry for actions that upset their partner.

“If you do something wrong that impacts the community... then there needs to be real contrition,” Willis said. “The contrition doesn’t have to be some poetic melody. It doesn’t have to be pages and pages. Sometimes you just need ‘I’m sorry.’ And if you get ‘I’m sorry,’ then we can move on and move past (it) if it’s a sincere apology.”

She continued, “It doesn’t need to be very long. In fact, all I would rather is a sentence. But I think it’s important.”

7. I'm sorry that I was not careful enough..

to obscure my involvement, or to pass the blame on to someone farther down on the food chain.

10. Have they been disbarred?

11. But are you really sorry, Sydney? Really?

“I apologize for my actions in connection with the events in Coffee County,” lawyer Sidney Powell stated in her letter on Oct. 19.

Big whoop.

12. Funny how direct a lawyer can be when not charging by the hour

[Grammy23]

13. Was an apology a requirement of the plea deal?

If so, they did the barest minimum so the plea deal could be struck. Kind of like when the big brother has to apologize to Lil Sis for pulling her hair and ripping the head off of her favorite dolly. Give her a phony apology, insincerely hug her and call it good.

16. Yes

[Delphinus]

14. What BS!

AND they want it stipulated there was no moral turpitude - another bunch of bullshit.

[prodigitalson]

15. "actions in connection with" and "involvement with" are hardly taking ownership of the behavior for which one apologizes

and these two have educations so they are knowingly flipping off the court....but whatevs

[ificandream]

17. Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!
