President Donald Trump on Thursday renewed his call for freedom for âPatriotâ Tina Peters, a former Colorado county elections official jailed by the leftists in the state on their charges of election interference.
She was indicted, convicted, and jailed for allegedly releasing one inactive password to an elections system several years ago.
However, the Democrat government there handed a free pass to Jena Griswold, the Democrat secretary of state in the one-party government after she oversaw her officeâs publication online of hundreds of current passwords.
Griswold earned the backing of the Democrat political machine in her failed attempt to remove President Donald Trump from the 2024 presidential ballot, a move that was approved by her own all-Democrat state Supreme Court but reversed by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Continuing the âtortureâ of Peters will bring bad things to Colorado, Trump promised.
âFREE TINA PETERS, a brave and innocent Patriot who has been tortured by Crooked Colorado politicians, including the big Mail-In Ballot supporting the governor of the State. Let Tina Peters out of jail, RIGHT NOW. She did nothing wrong, except catching the Democrats cheat in the Election. She is an old woman, and very sick. If she is not released, I am going to take harsh measures!!!â
While Peters was convicted under state law, and Trump cannot pardon her in that case, the president does have the power, through the executive branch control of the federal governmentâs grants, allocations of federal resources and much more, to make her jailors uncomfortable.
The Gateway Pundit noted she was sentenced to nine years in prison last October after she was accused of breaching the Mesa County election systems and leaking Dominion voting machine passwords.
The report said, âBut Peters contends that her office had the Dominion machine passwords, which is what Maricopa County successfully argued when they were subpoenaed for Dominion passwords during the Arizona Election audit in 2021.â
During her sentencing, Matthew Barrett, the judge handling her state case, attacked her political speech, and denied her bond.
Petersâ legal team has appealed her case to federal court, challenging the First Amendment violations and asking them to decide whether Tina Peters is being unlawfully imprisoned for her political speech.
Trump recently has added to his agenda of making America great again the discontinuation of âHighly Inaccurate, Very Expensive, and Seriously Controversial VOTING MACHINES, which cost Ten Times more than accurate and sophisticated Watermark Paper.â
The Post Millennial reported what Peters actually was accused of was providing someone with a security pass to review her countyâs elections system after she developed suspicions about the veracity of the voting systemâs conclusions.
Colorado Attorney General Philip Weiser, another activist Democrat, has asked the judge to dismiss Petersâ petition to be released on bond pending the appeals process. Weiser, while claiming âNo one is above the law,â also has been completely inactive regarding any charges against Griswold for her involvement in released passwords.
KREX television in Colorado said Trump already demanded Petersâ release in May, writing, âTina is an innocent Political Prisoner being horribly and unjustly punished in the form of Cruel and Unusual Punishment.â
The Department of Justice already has warned Colorado it is examining its prosecution, because there are âreasonable concernsâ with the stateâs attack on Peters.
WND previously reported that Peters âwas a conservative in the far-left state, where the all-Democrat state Supreme Court partisanly tried to remove Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot. Where virtually all of the top state leaders in the governorâs office and legislature are virulently anti-Trump.â
Further, itâs where âleftists in population centers like Denver and Boulder openly advocate for Americansâ rights to be violated in order to protect illegal alien criminals. Where abortion was made a state constitutional ârightâ and the state constitutionâs protection for voters against massive overtaxing plans routinely is undermined. For example, Democrat lawmakers, faced with constitutional limits on raising âtaxes,â routinely hike them anyway and then simply call them âfees.â For example, state residents who license vehicles and pay taxes have to pay a âfeeâ for roads and bridges. Visitors to the state using the same roads and bridges donât pay that âfee.'â
Complete Colorado noted at the time there are multiple âmisstepsâ by Griswold that now could come under review.
Colorado Republican Party Chairwoman Brita Horn said, âOur secretary of state gaslights voters with her âGold Standardâ narrative while she oversees leaked passwords. She has no one to blame but herself and her irresponsible team for the investigation. We need the truth about what happens in her department, and in our elections.â
Previously, Griswold earned infamy among elections officials by sending postcards to some 30,000 non-residents, telling them how to register to vote.
In what may end up being related, Judicial Watch said Griswoldâs office gave out incorrect numbers for those removed from the stateâs registration lists due to address changes. The watchdog organization wanted its lawsuit over the dispute reopened because of the wrong numbers, but a leftist judge in the left-leaning federal court system in Colorado refused permission.
Even earlier, Trump pointed out, âRadical Left Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser ignores illegals committing Violent Crimes like Rape and Murder in his State and, instead, jailed Tina Peters, a 69-year-old Gold Star mother who worked to expose and document Democrat Election Fraud. Tina is an innocent Political Prisoner being horribly and unjustly punished in the form of Cruel and Unusual Punishment. This is a Communist persecution by the Radical Left Democrats to cover up their Election crimes and misdeeds in 2020. The same Democrat Party that flies to El Salvador to try to free an MS-13 Terrorist, is cruelly imprisoning, perhaps for life, a grandmother whose brave and heroic son gave his life for America. Colorado must end this unjust incarceration of an innocent American. I am hereby directing the Department of Justice to take all necessary action to help secure the release of this âhostageâ being held in a Colorado prison by the Democrats, for political reasons. FREE TINA PETERS, NOW!â
