peters was a prisoner of the colorado woke that gave them a feeling of accomplishment but wasn't; 

 

Tina Peters is out of prison. The governor of Colorado commuted her nine-year sentence last month and she walked out a free woman on Monday. The election-integrity activist had been locked up in a maximum security prison since October 2024.

“It’s a miracle, it really is” Peters told podcaster Steve Bannon on Monday. She said Colorado Governor Jared Polis pardoned 35 people and gave clemency to nine, her being one of them. The Colorado Democratic Party censured Polis over his decision to free Peters, with some Democrats calling for his impeachment.

For nearly the entire duration of his second term, President Donald Trump and the U.S. Justice Department have been applying pressure on Colorado officials to release Peters. By August of last year, the president had threatened “harsh measures” if they didn’t. In December, he pardoned her. But that was not enough to secure her release, since she was convicted on state charges.

The Justice Department also tried to get Peters transferred into federal custody, but to no avail. Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold had dubbed Trump’s pressure campaign an assault “on our democracy.” And there were few signs, if any, portending Peters’ early release.

But now, she has been freed, and a pivotal upper court decision from April appears to have played the deciding role.

Authorities said she copied election-related data and images that were later made public............more..........
