Trump Justice Department says it will "review" prosecution of Colorado election conspiracy theorist Tina Peters

Hat tip, Chris Geidner

This is unreal. DOJ filed a statement of interest in former Mesa County clerk Tina Peters’s … habeas corpus case?!

This is so far outside of the Justice Department’s ordinary actions. Most of the “reasonable concerns” they claim to have about the case could be raised about virtually anyone.

Trump Justice Department says it will “review” prosecution of Colorado election conspiracy theorist Tina Peters

1. Peters was convicted in state court--unlike Adams...

Adams’ prosecution was in federal court, whereas Peters’ case was handled in state court. Since the Peters prosecution happened in state court, the Department of Justice cannot unilaterally influence the conviction.

2. Break the law and steal election software that could be used in tampering with future elections?

Fine by the Krasnov administration. This is shit that is done by Putin and other dictators.

“Peters was convicted of three counts of attempting to influence a public official; conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation; official misconduct; violation of duty; and failure to comply with an order of the Secretary of State. She was acquitted of conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, criminal impersonation and identity theft.

Prosecutors said Peters concocted a scheme to capture images and data during a sensitive election system software update in 2021. The information was then posted online as part of efforts to prove baseless claims that Trump won the 2020 presidential election.”

Krasnov is burning America to the ground.

3. They can investigate to their hearts content,

but the bottom line here is that she was tried, convicted and sentenced in a STATE court, where the DoJ has zero right to interfere.
