After pressure from Trump, Colorado gov. signals possible clemency for election denier Tina Peters

[RandySF]

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) said he’s considering clemency for Tina Peters, the former election official serving a nine-year state prison sentence for her role in a 2021 voting system breach.

Polis’ openness to clemency for Peters comes after months of escalating retaliation from President Donald Trump against the state of Colorado, driven by the Peters issue.

“FREE TINA PETERS”, Trump posted on Truth Social Thursday evening.

“She got a sentence that was harsh. It was a 9 year sentence,” Polis said in an interview Thursday. “So we always look at people’s sentences. And when you have people that are elderly, and we’re looking at this across a number of many people — people in their 70s or 80s in our system — how much of a threat to society are they and how do we balance that in a way that makes sure they can spend their last year few years at home?”

1. He should tell Trump to piss off. The bastard is sending Ice here anyway and we have a rat in

the court letting them know when immigrants are going in to do paperwork.

2. Oh fuck you, Polis. She got the sentence she deserved.

Everyone should listen to the sentencing judge's remarks if they think her sentence was too harsh.

3. No. Tampering with anything even remotely tangential to the election process...

Deserves consistent and severe punishment. We already have enough skepticism about elections. We don’t need more.

7. Caving to a bully does not make the bully go away. It simply encourages the bully to make more demands.

10. Exactly! It worked once why wouldn't they do it again.

I’m mystified why people don’t get this. All the bullies I’ve ever known are cowards. Punch back hard and they go find another target.

8. He has gotten so much blow-back from The current SOS, AG, local prosecutor and the public

that his career is over if he does so.

13. Sent an email to the Gov

Told him I will send $ to his primary competitor if he releases Peter’s.

15. He's term-limited.. So any elected office would be to return to Congress/Senate

or if he is deluded enough, run for President.

14. Will he be tendering his resignation at the same time?
