The Colorado Sun reports:
A federal judge Monday dismissed a lawsuit brought by former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters that sought to bar authorities from prosecuting her on charges related to a 2021 security breach of her county’s election system.
Peters, who faces trial next month on 10 counts in the alleged breach, filed the lawsuit in November seeking to halt all local, state and federal criminal investigations and prosecutions against her. The suit named U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold and Mesa County District Attorney Daniel Rubinstein as defendants.
Peters is scheduled to go to trial Feb. 7 on charges stemming from her actions during an election software update in May 2021. A grand jury indicted her on felony and misdemeanor charges in March 2022, including attempting to influence a public official and criminal impersonation.

Days before her 2022 obstruction conviction, which resulted in house arrest, Peters had boasted that “no jury will convict me.” But they did.
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.
I need my true patriot friends to stand up. 4 weeks until the felony trial where these criminals want to send me to prison. Please check out my website where you can read the lawsuit against Merrick Garland, Griswold and Rubenstein. Send out the Capitol Times 100 page article…
