DOJ Files Statement of Interest in Case of Gold-Star Mother Tina Peters –Political Warfare

Daphne Moon 0 2 min read

The case involving former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters has gained significant attention due to its implications on both a legal and political level. Sentenced to nine years in Colorado on October 3, 2024, Peters, a former gold-star mother, was convicted on seven out of ten charges. These charges mainly stemmed from her decision to conduct a forensic imaging of the Dominion Voting Systems tabulators in her jurisdiction prior to a “Trusted Build” by the Secretary of State’s office following a 2021 municipal election.

The charges levied against her include attempting to influence a public servant, conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, first-degree official misconduct, violation of duty, and failing to comply with the Secretary of State’s directives. This legal battle raises questions about election integrity and the preservation of election records, which under both federal and state law, must be safeguarded for at least 22 months, pursuant to 52 USC 20701. Peters even ensured another image was made post-“Trusted Build.”

In an unexpected move, the Department of Justice (DOJ), led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, filed a Statement of Interest in this state-level case, despite its inability to offer a federal pardon. Currently, Peters is appealing her nonviolent convictions and nine-year sentence, amidst the backdrop of severe health concerns that have reportedly worsened during her time in incarceration. The DOJ’s statement indicates that “reasonable concerns have been raised” regarding several facets of her case, particularly pointing to the excessively lengthy sentence, First Amendment implications, and Colorado’s potential arbitrary denial of bail pending appeal, possibly infringing on the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments. These aspects deserve urgent and thorough review by the Court, and by extension, the Colorado appellate courts.

Outside of Peters’ direct appeal, the DOJ is evaluating cases nationwide for potential abuses within the criminal justice system. Significantly, this includes scrutinizing whether Peters’ prosecution was more a means of “inflicting political pain than toward pursuing actual justice or legitimate governmental objectives.”

Another accusation during her trial was the alleged publishing of Dominion system passwords online. However, the defense argues that the passwords shared were not only redacted but were also changed as part of the standard Trusted Build protocols, rendering them virtually worthless. In stark contrast, it was revealed that Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold’s office inadvertently exposed nearly the full set of the state’s BIOS passwords on its website in the months leading up to the 2024 Presidential Election. These passwords were not redacted and were, in fact, still valid for the forthcoming election, raising questions about possible double standards and the state’s accountability.

WATCH

The liberal media has seemingly misrepresented details of this case, failing to highlight the inconsistencies and potential political motivations underlying this prosecution.

Amidst such media narratives, the support for figures who challenge establishment norms, like Donald Trump, becomes increasingly crucial as they push back against systemic issues in the justice system.
