DOJ Reviews Conviction Of Colorado QAnon Ex-Clerk

March 4, 2025 Crime, Trump Administration

The New York Times reports:

The Justice Department said on Monday that it would review the conviction of the former clerk of Mesa County, Colo., who was found guilty of state charges last summer of tampering with voting machines under her control in a failed attempt to prove that they had been used to rig the 2020 election against President Trump.

The decision was the latest example of the Justice Department under Mr. Trump’s control seeking to use its powers to support those who have acted on his behalf and to go after those who have criticized or opposed him. It also played into the president’s effort to rewrite the history of his efforts to overturn the results of the election.

Three weeks ago, the former clerk, Tina Peters, who was sentenced to nine years in prison on the state election tampering charges, filed a long-shot motion in Federal District Court in Denver effectively challenging the guilty verdict she received in August at the end of a trial in Grand Junction.

From an August 2024 report:

Evidence offered by the prosecution included Peters telling staff members to purchase disposable phones with cash and to use the encrypted texting platform Signal, as well as a non-county email address.

Prosecutor Robert Shapiro reminded jurors how Bishop, while attending a “cyber security” symposium in South Dakota in August 2021, around the time that AG Jena Griswold launched her investigation into the elections security breach, called Peters’ then-Chief Deputy Belinda Knisley in Grand Junction asking her to go to the elections office and remove the election computer server. Knisley refused.

When Peters learned election system data and passwords had been posted to an online conspiracy site, she repeatedly told Knisley “I’m f**ked, I’m going to jail,” Shapiro said. “Does that sound like someone who is doing right, doing something noble?” Shapiro said to the jurors.

In October 2024, it was reported that the judge who sentenced Peters has received death threats.

Peters 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, 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 apparently has internet access in prison as her X feed is full of recent retweets of extremists, prominent cultists, and demands to free her.
