Related: About this forumTrump's attempt to pardon Tina Peters runs into constitutional limits - PBS NewsHour
Earlier this year, Trump pardoned around 1,500 people for their involvement in efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. As we near the fifth anniversary of the Jan. 6th attack, there is one high-profile election denier still behind bars. As White House correspondent Liz Landers reports, there is little Trump can do to get former Colorado county clerk Tina Peters out of prison. - Aired on 12/29/2025.

(112,708 posts)1. To hear this woman's disgusting self-entitled attacks on the judge at sentencing & the police during arrest...
well, it only makes me wish she would be jailed even longer than her 9 year sentence.
Similarly, if you have heard any of Pam Bondi's pure nasty retorts toward House and Senate questioning--largely routine by most prior standards, she too ought to have a reckoning (impeachment and removal--and face charges if she has violated law over Epstein or other matters).
The two are two peas in a pod--both equally spoiled and rank.

Trump will cut federal funding to Colorado unless the Governor commutes the sentence of Peters or will outright give her a STATE pardon.
