Law & Crime reports:
A former Republican clerk in Mesa County, Colorado, indicted in 2022 for official misconduct connected to her ill-fated attempt to prove that Dominion Voting Systems and its electronic voting machines stole the 2020 election from Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit in federal court against state officials and U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, claiming she’s being persecuted for asking questions about the “legitimacy” of President Joe Biden’s election.
Tina Peters is suing Garland, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold (D), and Mesa County District Attorney Daniel Rubinstein in attempt to shut down both the looming state prosecution and a federal investigation, the latter of which revealed her to be a “subject” — along with MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell — of an identity theft, intentional damage to a protected computer, and conspiracy probe.

Days before her 2022 obstruction conviction, which resulted in house arrest, Peters had boasted that “no jury will convict me.” But they did. Her state trial on multiple felony counts of election machine tampering is scheduled for February 2024.
Peters appeared on JMG in February 2022 when she claimed that the deep state had murdered two relatives of her former employees in order to coerce their testimony against her. In fact, both of those people died in car accidents and neither crash was a hit-and-run as Peters claims.
In August 2022, one of those employees, Peters’ former Mesa County assistant copped a plea deal in which she agreed to testify against Peters in the coming trial.
Also in August 2022, Peters crowdfunded a failed recount in her bid to become Colorado’s secretary of state. Despite raising $351,000 with the help of Steve Bannon, the recount still showed her losing the Republican primary by 88,000 votes, which Peters still claims was stolen from her.
Peters has traveled heavily on the cuckoo QAnon convention circuit, often appearing alongside Mike Lindell.
