But from what I know, he pretends she is a political prisoner, when in fact she is a fraud, liar and a cheat.

Let her rot.

Tina Peters is no martyr, Mr. President

President Trump just stepped into a Colorado political minefield — defending embattled former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters while missing a crucial detail about her criminal case: This wasn’t another Democratic witch hunt. It was brought by law-and-order Republicans.

“FREE TINA PETERS, NOW!” Trump declared on social media Monday, directing the Justice Department to “secure the release” of an “innocent Political Prisoner” suffering “Communist persecution by the Radical Left Democrats” for exposing “their Election crimes and misdeeds in 2020.”

Except Peters was convicted of four felony counts and three misdemeanors for orchestrating a 2021 breach of Mesa’s election system — by a jury in one of Colorado’s most pro-Trump counties.


Three of those felonies stemmed from Peters lying to public officials to fraudulently obtain credentials for a county-hired IT contractor, who was then impersonated by pro-surfer-turned-hacker Conan Hayes before and during a routine election software update. Peters ordered the surveillance cameras disabled, a first in a decade, as Hayes copied sensitive election server data that later leaked online.

But TFG has a habit of pardoning the clearly guilty, particularly the violent January 6th insurrectionists. However, since Tina Peters was convicted on state charges, he's out of luck.

He can't pardon state charges!

I remember seeing some of her trial, her responses to the judge and he wasn't not taking any of the sh*t she was spewing!
