President Donald Trump has delivered to imprisoned Colorado elections official Tina Peters a “full Pardon tor her attempts to expose Voter Fraud in the Rigged 2020 Presidential Election.’
He announced on social media:
“For years, Democrats ignored Violent and Vicious Crime of all shapes, sizes, colors, and types. Violent Criminals who should have been locked up were allowed to attack again. Democrats were also far too happy to let in the worst from the worst countries so they could rip off American Taxpayers. Democrats only think there is one crime – Not voting for them! Instead of protecting Americans and their Tax Dollars, Democrats chose instead to prosecute anyone they can find that wanted Safe and Secure Elections. Democrats have been relentless in their targeting of TINA PETERS, a Patriot who simply wanted to make sure that our Elections were Fair and Honest Tina is sitting in a Colorado prison for the “crime” of demanding Honest Elections. Today I am granting Tina a full Pardon for her attempts to expose Voter Fraud in the Rigged 2020 Presidential Election!”
His action comes just days after he labeled homosexual Colorado Gov. Jared Polis a “sleazebag” for keeping Peters under lock and key.
Peters is the former Mesa County clerk, who, Trump said, “was unfairly convicted of what the Democrats do, cheating on Elections.”
In fact, the leftist court system in Colorado, which is run entirely by Democrats in the executive branch, through the Democrat-majority legislature and into the all-Democrat state supreme Court, which is so far left its members unsuccessfully tried to remove Trump from the 2024 presidential ballot, convicted Peters of nine counts for her acts of trying to preserve records from the 2020 vote.
Trump said, “The SLEAZEBAG Governor of Colorado, Jared Polis, refuses to allow an elderly woman, Tina Peters, who was unfairly convicted of what the Democrats do, cheating on Elections, out of jail! She was convicted for trying to stop Democrats from stealing Colorado Votes in the Election.
“She was preserving Election Records, which she was obligated to do under Federal Law. She has now served more than one year in jail, and has eight years to go. On top of everything else, she is a cancer ‘survivor.’ This lightweight Governor, who has allowed his State to go to hell (Tren de Aragua, anyone?), should be ashamed of himself. FREE TINA!”
Interestingly, the Democrat secretary of state in Colorado, Jena Griswold, allowed hundreds of election systems passwords to be posted on the Internet, and she was given a pass over her behavior.
It was District Judge Matthew Barrett who had claimed, while sentencing Peters to years in prison, she “abused” her position.
“I am convinced you would do it all over again if you could. You’re as defiant as any defendant this court has ever seen,” Barrett ranted in extra-judicial comments at the time. “You are no hero. You abused your position, and you’re a charlatan.”
The Washington Examiner documented, “Peters was found guilty on ‘three counts of attempting to influence a public servant, one count of conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, first-degree official misconduct, violation of duty, and failing to comply with the secretary of state.””
Peters has maintained her innocence.
A report in the Gateway Pundit noted, “The left wants her dead. Tina Peters has been found guilty on state charges and is serving time in a state prison, so the presidential pardon will not result in her immediate release. Last week, a magistrate judge dismissed Tina Peter’s habeas corpus petition seeking an early release from prison.”
The report said it was Trump’s friend, Peter Ticktin, who recently wrote in a letter that Peters has been attacked three times by other inmates in a prison system under the control of Colorado’s Democrat administration.
She was jailed for preserving evidence from the 2020 elections that she was told to delete, despite laws to preserve records, the report pointed out.
Trump earlier told the DOJ to work to free her, and the insults from the judge are documented.
President Trump just instructed the DOJ to Free Tina Peters. She tried to blow the whistle on election fraud that she witnessed in Colorado.
The judge insulted her, berated her, told her she had white “privilege” and then gave her 9 years in prison!
