Imagine going to prison for 10 years for fucking MIKE LINDELL, the guy behind the lumpy pillows and more Trump conspiracy theories...
One of my favorite parts of this is in the body camera footage of her being arrested (which is definitely worth a watch) she not only is resisting arrest, kicks one of the arresting officers, is ordering the cops around as if she is still in charge, and finally when she is being put in the back of a squad car says to the officer through tears:
“You’re assisting Merrick Garland” sniffle
Even while being arrested she’s peddling her conspiracy bullshit
Her mugshot should be representing these articles. Here:
Tina Peters Convicted Election Fraudster
Here's some illuminating quotes too:
In court on Thursday, Peters told the judge she was "very taken back by how awful I've been depicted when I was just trying to do my job." In return, Judge Barrett said Peters was "as defiant of a defendant as this court has ever seen.”
and
“She undermined the security of her own office. She brought somebody into the office using credentials that weren't their own. She turned off her cameras to her election area, which had been on nonstop, continuously for 10 years. She allowed the image of her election software to go out into the public where bad actors can study that, look for vulnerabilities and do nefarious things if they get actual physical access to the components," Crane said. “I don't think people realize just how serious the nature of her crimes really are." --Matt Crane, executive director of the Colorado County Clerks Association
Nah too happy give me another one after she's been in for a couple of years
Wait, how could this child of his possibly serve time in a correctional facility without her magnetic mattress? 🤣
Is she going to actually have to serve the time?
Or will she somehow avoid or get out of it due to 'old conservative republican white Karen lady privilege'?
Probably will get pardoned if trump wins this fall...
Actually she can’t be presidents can only pardon federal offenses and her sentence is due to state offenses so only the Colorado governed can pardon her I think— not that I think they would or should
After watching the sentencing, she has been sent to county jail for now. Her lawyer motioned to have her released on bond while they appeal, but the judge denied that. They are going to appeal, who knows what will happen there,but she is in county jail right this moment.
If nothing changes, and I understood sentencing correctly, she will remain in county jail for six months then get transferred to federal prison for the remainder of her sentence.
Federal? I think it's state prison for state crimes isn't it? I sure hope she serves her sentence in the worst state prison in CO.
I'm actually not sure of he said state or federal prison. I thought he said federal. I expect you're right, though, that it is county jail, then state prison.
This is consistent with my observation of the events. One additional point, the judge presumed that she would be out before the end of the 9 years because of good behavior.
All aboard the idiot train! There's worshipping of a false idol, as much clumpy pillow stuffing as you can eat and it ends right in jail.
Good. Who is next?
When convicted, I hope these crooks get the maximum time allowable under law.
