"no respect for checks and balances"
This is what I dearly hope to see the rest of Trump's cabal get when just desserts are served.
This is why Trump is trying so hard to get her cut lose.
No one in their right mind wants to do nine years for the felon.
This Judge is incredible.
If Supreme Court justices had the integrity this guy has in his pinky finger, this country would be in much better shape.

(17,570 posts)didn't hold back his contempt for her and her lies and defiance.
My only regret is that she didn't receive more prison time but I'll take it and Flim Flam Man/Ed Martin can get fucked for trying to coerce CO. with threats if she's not released or transferred to Fed. custody, which would be a get out of jail free card.

(28,105 posts)Is because he wants his agents to believe he can pardon them when they try to tamper with future election results.
It's obviously not because he gives a flying fuck about her personally.
Which is why it's so important to keep her in prison.
It sends a message to these traitors.
A Republican judge?
That's even more incredible, considering he blasted her and compared her to the less fortunate defendants who appeared before him, for whom he expressed genuine compassion.

(17,570 posts)so probably most of the jurors were republicans, and the majority of Election Clerks who condemned Tina Peters were repubs. also, so that should tell you just how bad her crimes were.

Bluetus
(2,218 posts)Those people need to see that they can end up in a state prison if they break any laws.
So far, we have seen very little on this. There is a big struggle in Pennsylvania where Republicans are trying to pass legislation making ICE agents untouchable. But Dems are trying to pass legislation prohibiting masks and requiring identification.
