A federal judge threw out a lawsuit against U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, finding that the government retaliation allegations made by an indicted former clerk in Colorado failed for the same reason that MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell’s claims failed in court.

Tina Peters, a Republican and ex-clerk in Mesa County, is currently on track for a state official misconduct trial in July, but as she awaited that day in court she tried to sue the federal government and Garland to shut down a federal investigation into potential identity theft, intentional damage to a protected computer, and conspiracy, a probe in which Peters and Lindell, among others, were identified as subjects in 2022.

When Peters filed her federal case, she also sued Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold (D) and Mesa County District Attorney Daniel Rubinstein, claiming altogether that she was being persecuted for asking questions about the “legitimacy” of President Joe Biden’s election in 2020 and warning about the security of future elections.

Peters, who was featured in the Lindell-funded 2020 election conspiracy movie “[S]election Code,” is accused at the state level of tampering with election equipment, attempting to influence public servants, and engaging in official misconduct by allowing an unauthorized third party to make copies of voting machine hard drives, leading “confidential digital images” of county Dominion Voting Systems equipment and passwords to be “published on the internet.”

Colorado DUers probably remember more but Tina Peters a Mesa County Clerk of elections in CO had been indicted for election tampering related to the 2020 election a couple years ago. Her trial (which was delayed) is supposed to happen in July - https://www.cpr.org/2024/02/06/mesa-clerk-tina-peters-trial-delayed-july/

Lindell was involved there as well.

1. Just like Trump--delay, delay, delay (I think this is her third reschedule). She faces up to decades in jail

but probably is deluded enough to think TSF would pardon her if insanity among voters somehow puts him back in the White House.

I think the Pillow Guy is "certifiable," but this one is just a deluded immoral idiot.

2. "but probably is deluded enough to think TSF would pardon her "

She was indicted for state charges so 45 wouldn't be able to pardon her.

5. True... but she remains under investigation for Federal charges & she seemingly thinks she can "skate"

on the state felonies, fool that she is.

6. CO is going after her

(I think like what is happening in some of the other cases in GA, MI, & AZ, the feds are monitoring what is happening there before diving in completely)

3. Sounds like she's getting help from the "RWNJ dark money" guys

Anybody else would have just taken a plea and get it over with.

4. She might still do a plea

The Kraken crew quickly did a plea deal in GA for those state charges (and she has been charged for violating CO state law).

Will need to watch how some of the the AZ 45 defendants do with pleas (like Bobb).
