Donald Trump loyalist and MAGA sweetheart, former Colorado county clerk, will have 9 long years in prison to think about all the crimes she committed in service of a man who will not waste one minute more thinking about her.
Tina Peters, the former Mesa County clerk charged with numerous crimes related to her efforts to help Donald Trump steal the 2020 election, was sentenced to incarceration on Thursday. Peters had been found guilty by a jury on most of the charges levied against her in August. She was convicted of first-degree official misconduct, violation of duty, failure to comply with requirements of the Secretary of State, conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, and three counts of attempt to influence a public servant. She was acquitted of identity theft, criminal impersonation, and one count of conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation.
Judge Matthew Barrett did not mince words before handing down Peters’ sentence. He called her as a “charlatan” who was using her prior position “to peddle a snake oil that’s been proven to be junk time and time again.” He added “your lies are well documented and these convictions are serious…I’m convinced you would do it all over again if you could.”
