MAGA lawyer wants Trump to send in the 101st Airborne to free election-denier Tina Peters

An attorney representing jailed election-denier Tina Peters has backed sending in the U.S. military to bust his client out of prison, where she is currently languishing after being convicted over her part in the plot to overturn the 2020 election.

Peter Ticktin made the comments during an appearance on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast Tuesday when he was asked if President Donald Trump should dispatch the celebrated 101st Airborne Division to free Peters, 70, the disgraced former county clerk of Mesa County, Colorado.

“Do I think it should be done? For who I am, yeah – I’d love to see that happen,” Ticktin answered.

Peters is serving a nine-year jail sentence after being convicted in August 2024 of seven out of 10 charges, four of which were felonies, for allowing an associate of MyPillow salesman and Trump loyalist Mike Lindell to access a secure room to make a copy of a hard drive containing data from the state’s 2020 presidential election results, all in support of Trump’s still-unproven fraud narrative, which attempted to discredit and overturn Joe Biden’s win by baselessly crying conspiracy.

These POS really are lunatics, for one, that ain't gonna happen, that would so obviously be an illegal order and the backlash it would cause would make the FBI "investigation" of the 6 Congress members look like a minor incident.

the backlash would be one for the ages and I find it hard to believe that even the most fervent MAGAt military commander would follow such an obvious illegal order, but then again..............

how many US personnel are on board with the shitbirds in the first place and would have no problem carrying out an illegal order.

I've run plum out of faith in "humanity" at this point and only expect the worst.

There "are" fucking rules of conduct, right?

Stop pussy-footing around with these anti American, anti-Constitution pieces of amphibian shit.
