August 8, 2024 Republicans, Trump cultists

Colorado Public Radio reports:

Tina Peters was worried early on that election material being posted online could put her in legal jeopardy, according to Belinda Knisley, her former chief deputy clerk who testified in court. “‘I’m f—ed,’” Knisley recalled the clerk telling her. “She said, ‘it’s on the internet, it was not supposed to be, and it’s out there.’”

Knisley testified to her conversations with Peters about the fallout that occurred after images of Mesa County voting systems were found online, leading up to the 10 criminal charges she now faces. Knisley agreed to testify against Peters as a part of a plea agreement she reached on charges related to the case.

Knisley also told the jury that she purchased a disposable phone at the suggestion of Peters. “She directed me to go to Walmart and to use cash and to buy myself and (fellow employee) Sandy (Brown) a disposable phone and to use it to call her, to contact her and her attorneys,” Kinsley said.

Read the full article. Peters is accused, among other things, of giving a staffer’s security badge to a conspiracy theorist that she allowed to access county voting equipment. Her trial is now in its eighth day.
