Trump election conspiracist Tina Peters sentenced to 9 years in prison by Colorado judge

And this is why you STFU as soon as you're indicted, then act contrite after you're convicted, until after your sentencing. What a dumbass, in addition to being a horrible person. I hope she enjoys the FO part of FAFO

Good. May she be but the first of these traitors who get thrown in prison.

The country needs a reality check and that likely involves sending a lot of people to prison.

Hopefully trump will be one of them.

Going to prison for 7 years, at 69 years of age. For a crook that probably doesn’t even know her name. smh. The charge should be treason, that’s what she did.

Its worse because she arguably went to jail for Mike Pillow.

She probably thought trump was gonna save her.

Hopefully these are state charges so even if he does win he can’t pardon her.

At least they're going to prison. How the fuck is Trump still a free man.

I totally agree, for her that's likely a life sentence. I wonder if there isn't some form of psychiatric help some of these people could benefit from. They're all deeply brainwashed. Subjecting them to the people who have been portrayed so long as the enemy might change some minds. Though, I don't know that I'd want to subject minorities to them.

I mean some people are in prison for longer because the were enjoying some weed.

These should all have conspiracy for sedition or some such on them. But our legal system is too broken to look at that question.

She’s 69. Prison isn’t easy at any age. This is likely a life sentence for her.

Hey now his old drug dealer is probably an expert in something.

Yeh, but the CYBER! The NINJAS!

At this point, if something upsets them, it might be safer to assume it's either a good thing or a benign one that doesn't really affect anyone (but their "solution" sure will) than it being an actual problem.

If I was the judge id be trying to figure out how to give her the death sentence for that fucken statement. Seriously I want her to drink white phosphorus.

Didn't pillow boy help fund her, too?

Better to deny her sex.

longer version that includes defense and prosecution arguments as well has her bananas defense of her conduct.

Starting at 42:31 and going for about 2 minutes is a really stark example of how conspiracy theorists just do not care about the truth and will ignore evidence no matter how obvious.

Starting at around 1:45:12 and going on for about 2 minutes is a really good example of what not to do if you are speaking to a judge at your own sentencing hearing.

of course it is. don't be ashamed. embrace the dark side.

This, in the same week the (female) judge struck down Georgia's six-week abortion ban:

When a fetus growing inside a woman reaches viability, when society can assume care and responsibility for that separate life, then – and only then – may society intervene. An arbitrary six-week ban on (post-embryonic cardiac activity pregnancy) terminations is inconsistent with these rights and the proper balance that a viability rule establishes between a woman’s rights of liberty and privacy and society’s interest in protecting and caring for unborn infants

I bet that one is getting death threats from the unhinged, as well.

He can't, they're state charges not federal...she fuuuked and deservedly so. Of course unless Trump does win and he threatens the state AG I wouldn't put it past him ffs. VOTE BLUE!

Well, he did have to put up with her being in the same court room as him. Personally, I feel sorry for the Judge, he didn't deserve this.

Nah, they probably go to the same cross burnings. No way they'd do that to one of their own.

She’s white and affluent. In what world would that happen?

you should def hold your breath on that one.

It is a shame that the article doesn't have those details.

Oh wait, it does!

Peters, 68, was convicted by a trial jury in August of seven criminal counts, including attempt to influence a public servant, conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, violation of duty, and failure to comply with secretary of state requirements.

She was accused of using another person’s security badge to allow someone else to gain access to her county’s election system.

The person who used that badge was affiliated with Mike Lindell, the CEO of My Pillow and a leading proponent of the claim that Trump’s defeat for a second term was due to ballot fraud.

There is no reason for this kind of access except to tamper, because the system is formally audited by people who don't have to sneak in through illegal access.

She was not authorised to allow access, whatever the reason. You don’t get to break the law just because you think you have a reason.

Regardless, it was to tamper (or to find a way to tamper, more specifically).

Your opinion is bad and you should feel bad.

From what I gathered in the article, she wasn’t allowed access. She stole someone else’s access card to get in. So, worthy of prison time absolutely.

This is non-partisan - if a liberal performed these crimes they'd be tried the same, and liberals would support it.

The only mental disorder here is your victim complex.

You fucking true patriots just. Wont. Stop. Until every single traitorous criminal is in jail. Conservatism is a mental disorder.

There. Fixed it for you

Cry quiet, "steel nomad"

How many downvotes does it take for someone to realize they don't belong somewhere?

Let me know when you find out, cause you've been on a fucking roll. It's almost like people don't like you.

Get a clue moron, maybe if people stopped being literal cartoon villains and trying to commit treason we'd stop sending them to jail.

You crazy MAGA traitors just. Wont. Stop. Breaking the law.

Can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.

Conservatism is a mental disorder.

Shut the fuck up, you walking shit stain.

Nope. She LITERALLY broke the law and was found guilty. I can't sum it up any better than the judge.

I would support this same course of action for ANYONE who does what she did (and continued to do while never once having any proof).

She is harmful to society and is where she belongs.

The only thing mental here is the complete loyalty some show towards any political figure. Both sides. You obviously suffer from this as your post shows complete disregard for facts and critical thinking. Best of luck with that.
