You’ve GOT to be kidding me

https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/5682750-polis-weighs-tina-peters-sentence/amp/

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) on Friday said he’s considering granting Tina Peters clemency, after she was jailed for her role in an election security breach.

“She got a sentence that was harsh. It was a nine-year sentence,” Polis said in an interview with CBS Colorado.

…District Judge Matthew Barrett was having none of it, unleashing a pointed rebuke as he denied her probation: “You are no hero. You abused your position and you’re a charlatan who used and is still using your prior position in office to pedal a snake oil that’s been proven to be junk time and time again in your world. It’s all about you. … You cannot help but lie as easy it is for you to breathe.”
