"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.

(10,021 posts)It is easy for the judge to go after her. It is easy for everyone to go after her.
Wake me when it is Miller, or Voight, or Hegseth, or the orange gibbon standing there.
Then, I might start thinking about justice again.

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.
orangecrush
(28,122 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.
MarineCombatEngineer
(17,573 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.

(28,122 posts)And Trump wants to manipulate the outcome.
Bluetus
(2,223 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.

(4,920 posts)However, in my opinion, trying to subvert an election is tantamount to overthrowing the government and should be prosecuted and punished the same. I should think life in prison.

It will never cease to amaze me that so many people are willing to destroy their lives just to curry fleeting favor with a grifter con artist.

(57,455 posts)She's lucky she only got 9 years. Her lies have damaged our democracy and violated her oath of office. She has zero remorse. She is an ongoing threat to our democracy with her continued spewing of lies online about our election system. I'm so glad she is locked up now!

(9,261 posts)in that Colorado has one of the best prison systems in the nation. She will not be served food with maggots in it, as she might be in parts of the South. She won't like the uniforms, but she'll get them laundered regularly. If there's anyone who wants to visit her (which considering her attitude seems unlikely, but certainly possible), that visitor or visitors will have to fill out a form and have their background checked, but the process will be fair and likely fast, and if approved and they come to visit, they will be treated with grace.
However, they will not put up with being disrespected. Hopefully, that will impact her defiant attitude. I suspect that, if it doesn't, nothing will.
