Felony Trial Begins For QAnon Ex-CO County Clerk

Courthouse News reports:

Jury selection starts today in Tina Peters’ trial. The former elections officer faces three felony counts of attempting to influence a public servant, four felony counts related to impersonation and identity theft and three misdemeanor counts for official misconduct.

Prosecutors say that in May 2021, Peters instructed her deputy clerk to turn off security cameras. She then arranged for associate Conan Hayes to observe and photograph the voting machine trusted build, an in-person update process.

Peters also sent data and passwords to Florida-based company CyberTeamUS, allowing them to be posted on the social media site Telegram. The Brennan Center for Justice has counted 17 cases nationwide in which an official tried to help an election denier gain unauthorized access to voting machines.

Peters last appeared here in January 2024 when she claimed that the deep state had murdered her ex-husband after losing an attempt to take possession of his home. She also appeared here earlier that week when she lost her attempt to dismiss felony election machine tampering charges.

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.
