A Colorado Court is expected to announce its decision on clemency for Tina Peters this morning at 11 a.m. Eastern, 9 a.m. Mountain.
This came out late last night:

The crimes against Tina Peters continue to mount as the 70-year-old Gold Star mother languishes in prison on bogus charges for doing her job as Mesa County, Colorado’s Clerk, overseeing elections.
A Presidential Pardon
Even though the President of the United States pardoned Tina Peters, the corrupt politicians and courts in Colorado keep her in prison.
President Trump had every right to pardon Tina Peters because the Federal Government was totally involved in her investigation and arrest. (Based on many scholars, the President has the right pardon state crimes as well.)
Former Mesa County, Colorado, Election Clerk Tina Peters broke no state or federal laws by backing up her Election Management Server (EMS) hard drive, having it analyzed, and even publishing the results. If she had, the federal and Colorado state governments would have legally come down on her for doing so, especially during the Biden administration.
In other words, not one state or federal charge resulted from Tina’s actions backing up her county’s server. Because they had NOTHING, Colorado (likely at the behest of the DOJ) had to manufacture imaginary felonies and misdemeanors against Clerk Peters and then prosecute her in the state courts.
There is ample evidence that the federal government under Biden was involved in the Tina Peters case, which supports the argument that, because the federal government led the effort, directed it, or was a large part of the effort to indict and imprison Tina Peters, President Trump can pardon her.
The Biden Regime’s involvement in the Tina Peters Case
The FBI issued a statement almost immediately after Peters came forward, stating that they would investigate her for potential violations of federal laws. The Biden regime never formally prosecuted Tina, but it appears that Biden’s Department of Justice was working closely with local Colorado officials who sought to put Peters in jail.

The Mesa County District Attorney, Dan Rubinstein, included Matthew Kirsh, the United States Attorney for Colorado, in a May 17, 2022, email to multiple District Attorneys across Colorado. The email is titled “Rule 3.8 Meeting” which appears to reference the rules of professional conduct for prosecutors. (https://www.justice.gov/usao-co/meet-us-attorney, https://www.cobar.org/Portals/COBAR/Repository/12.1.22/Rule%203.8%20-%20Special%20Responsibilities%20of%20a%20Prosecutor.pdf?ver=h4k_BG_0T1kn7Rdgo8sLiQ%3D%3D )
Email from Dan Rubinstein to DOJ attorney and Colorado District Attorneys, apparently brainstorming how to appear legitimate and ethical while prosecuting Tina Peters
The email suggests that Rubinstein was having some trouble reconciling the prosecution of Tina Peters with prosecutors’ rules of professional conduct and had to call in the cavalry to help him brainstorm ways to avoid being “accused of wrongdoing.”
Mesa County District Attorney Dan Rubinstein
First, Rubinstein appears to recognize that there is no precedent for the prosecution he wants to undertake, as he expresses a desire that this group of legal minds start writing opinions and issuing guidance documents in the vein of the Colorado Bar Association (CBA) and the Colorado District Attorneys’ Council (CDAC). Without a coherent legal pathway for prosecution, it appears Rubinstein encouraged this course of action to give prosecutors cover.
Second, Rubinstein notes that it is problematic that they have no formal appointments from a government body to lay the groundwork to prosecute Peters.
Third, Rubinstein informs the group of their need to anticipate defending themselves as to why they didn’t seek an opinion on Peter’s case from the Colorado Bar Association Ethics Commission. Rubinstein and his cronies appear to have succeeded in giving their efforts the veneer of legitimacy because three months after this email was sent, Peters was indicted by a grand jury.

Another glaring piece of evidence that the Tina Peters case was led by the federal government is that if this was ‘only a Colorado issue’, why were US Attorney General Merrick Garland and Christopher Wray participating in initial Mesa County discussions via Webex regarding the findings of Clerk Peters and her actions related to those findings?
We also know that the full force of the federal government was directly applied to those associated with Tina’s situation, in that the FBI raided Tina’s home.
In addition, Tina’s associate, Sherronna Bishop, ’s home also raided by the FBI.
Also, ‘My Pillow’ CEO Mike Lindell was also targeted by the FBI, and they confiscated his phone while he was traveling in Minnesota. These were federal actions. He was communicating with Tina Peters and offered her his support.
Peters was convicted of first-degree official misconduct, violation of duty, and identity theft.
The official statement behind Tina Peters’ indictment included mention of the federal government,
“ The Mesa County District Attorney’s Office and the Colorado Attorney General’s Office assisted the FBI in the operation, which was described by Mesa County spokesperson Stephanie Reecy as “federally-authorized law enforcement actions into potential criminal activity by employees of the Mesa County Clerk and Recorder’s Office and others associated with those employees.” Read all about it HERE.
It’s easy to see that the federal government was involved in this case and that the federal actions noted above like the raids (that they conveniently ignore now), indicate that this was much more than a Colorado issue.

Finally, there are material issues with Tina Peters’ sentencing that have yet to be resolved.
During her Appeal, it was uncovered that Peters had a misdemeanor conviction sentenced as a felony.

One of the charges was COMPLETELY misrepresented to the jury as a FELONY when it was actually the verbiage of a MISDEMEANOR!
