County Clerk Who Pushed the 'Big Lie' Is Indicted for Election Data Breach
Source: thedailybeast.com
Mesa County, Colorado Clerk Tina Peters and her deputy clerk Belinda Knisley were indicted on a combined 16 counts on Tuesday night for their alleged involvement in a breach of Mesa County voter data. The indictment, announced Wednesday morning, accuses Peters and Knisley of three counts of attempting to influence a public servant, one count of conspiring to commit the same offense, violation of duty, and failing to comply with the secretary of state. Peters also faces charges of attempting to influence a public servant, criminal impersonation, conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, identify theft, first-degree official misconduct. Seven of her charges are felonies.
The pair are accused of an elaborate scheme to access voting machines, which were under their offices care in May 2021. They allegedly plotted to turn off security cameras that monitored the machines, and allowed an unauthorized person to access those machines once security footage went dark. In August, voter information from the machines appeared online, published by conspiracy theorists like Ron Watkins. Peters soon became a regular on the conspiracy circuit, speaking at MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell's cyber symposium on supposed voter fraud. (The leaked data did not show election malfeasance.) The indictments recommend the pair be held without bail.
An initial press release from the Mesa County District Attorney stated that Peters had been indicted on 11 counts. The office later clarified that was indicted on 10 counts.

(51,129 posts)Peters flew on Pillow Lindell's private jet flying to his SD snooze fest, and that's when Colorado Secretary of State served the elections department offices of Tina Peters with a search warrant. When I was on a plane to come see you kind folks, said Peters, they provided a search warrant and raided my office. Ive been persecuted."
People were saying she was hiding under a pile of pillows.

(9,044 posts)with such a nest of crooks, should we be suspicious of the election result?
GOP is the party of election fraud.

(51,129 posts)Boebert passed her GED a few months before her election, so I doubt she could do it herself. Some of the speculation is they were hiding something rather than trying to find something.

(51,129 posts)Announced she would run a month ago. Had to know at the time indictment was coming.
Snowflakes Bannon & Lindell had an epic meltdown today.
"Tina Peters is a Gold Star mother!" Lindell fumed. "She's never broken a law in her life, she's never spent one minute in jail!"
Bannon concurred with Lindell's assessment and, if anything, appeared even more angry.
"The people who did this: Your names will live in shame forever!" he thundered. "And we're going to make sure they do! To have a Gold Star mother have to spend the night in jail because of her service as a public servant, and election that we're going to prove was stolen... It's revolting!" .....
This part is pure gold, "we're going to prove was stolen." Brilliant admission of her guilt.
