Chances are you’ve never heard of Tina Peters. It’s worth taking a moment to get to know her.
Peters used to be the elections chief in Mesa County, Colo., a slice of rugged beauty perched on the state’s Western Slope.
After the 2020 election, Peters fell in with the tinfoil-hat crowd promoting the phony claim the presidential race was stolen from Donald Trump. In furtherance of that fallacy, Peters allowed an unauthorized person to access voting equipment as part of a crackpot scheme to gather “proof” that Mesa County’s voting machines were rigged.
They weren’t.
But Peters’ conniving made her a celebrity in the upside-down universe that is MAGA world. She jetted around the country as a wingman for Mike Lindell, the My Pillow guy and feather-headed spouter of election-denying nonsense. Trump hailed Peters as “a rock star” for helping further spread his corrosive claptrap.
Finally, in August, Peters’ duplicity caught up with her. She was convicted of seven criminal counts related to the breach of election security and her deceptive actions surrounding the incident. Last week a judge threw not just the book but multiple volumes at the unrepentant former county clerk, rejecting pleas for leniency and sentencing Peters to a whopping nine years in prison.
“You’re as defiant ... a defendant at this court has ever seen,” Judge Matthew Barrett said in a tone of righteous anger. Unlike those unfortunate souls that sometimes land in his courtroom, “You are as privileged as they come,” he told the 69-year-old Peters, “and you used that privilege to obtain power, a following and fame.”
“You are no hero,” he went on. “You abused your position and you’re a charlatan who used and is still using your prior position in office to peddle a snake oil that’s been proven to...

BUMP
Yes. He seems to have a problem with restoring the Rule of Law even though it has bit him so hard.
Mark Z. Barabak wasn’t punched enough in his younger days.
1984 or Brave New World? Which is the Dems’ handbook?
“ Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness; only power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from all the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just round the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?”
- Orwell, 1984
““You’re as defiant ... a defendant at this court has ever seen,” Judge Matthew Barrett said in a tone of righteous anger.”
Judge is a poofter appointed by the poofter Governor. Big man, lecturing a 69 year old woman, and sentencing her to 10 years for what?
For making a copy of the hard drive of the election. Crooked SOS Griswold wanted it wiped clean. For some reason the actual data frightens them. This is a gold star mother.
She should be somewhere today having a beer with Snowden.
Trump should assign Attorney General Ramaswami to take a deep dive into SOS Jena Griswold, the prosecutor and the Judge for civil rights violations and election fraud.
“I think the crime was allowing others to copy data.”
And why is election data something secret? That should be widely available.... if it’s honest.
I bet they can. He needs to appoint a special prosecutor to go after the post-2020 political prosecutions of Americans. That is a gross violation of civil rights. It’s happened in Arizona, New York, Georgia, California, I think Michigan and Wisconsin and of course DC.
Any political prisoners on a federal charge should be fully pardoned with rights restored. The ones done at state and local levels like the so called “fake electors” rather than alternates should get massive unlimited Special Prosecutor attention.
It should really be the centerpiece of his administration.
“it is a fed requirement to preserve the cast vote record for 22 months.”
THAT alone should be the nexus for Trump’s DOJ to dive in. This is a gross violation of her civil rights.
yawn…
DROP MR GOLDEN CALF MARXIST INTO GAZA ON A HELECOPER.

I agree on all counts.
Ahhhhh…..
The Democrat Party Crime Syndicate threatening people.
Anyone who still supports the Democrats has an evil and criminal heart, mind and soul.
When he was in Washington, he covered Rapin' Bill Clintoon.
Needless to say, when Mark was around, Clinton never needed toilet paper to clean himself after defecating.
Agree!
I AM SHOCKED...THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE SEEN ...ANYTHING...THAT WOULD MAKE PETERS A CRIMINAL.
SOOO...I’M THINKING IS THE MSM DOESN’T COVER A LEFT WING STORY...THEN IT DOESN’T EXIST ANYMORE.
AS FAR AS I CAN TELL ...TINA PETERS ...IS A HERO...A HEROINE...A PERSON WHO SAW CORRUPTION AND REPORTED ON IT.
SHAME ON ANY OTHERS WHO MAKE CLAIMS ABOUT HER.
I WEEP FOR HER.
Amen!
PLEASE GOD, THIS WOMAN HAS GOT TO HAVE HER DAY IN COURT...OR ELSE...WE MAY ALL MEET EACH OTHER IN JAIL CELLS.
THIS IS HORRIBLE.
