Post #19422

This was done in response to a request that I specifically needed to give space to Colorado Governor Polis so that any action (positive or negative) by him concerning Tina would not ‘appear’ to be merely reactionary. He (and his advisors?) apparently were intent that he would not appear to be ‘giving-in’ to pressure from the conservative/Republican community and/or specifically to President Trump from the White House. Privately, President Trump has (reportedly) frequently been in contact with Governor Polis. There has been a steady flow of information concerning those calls reaching the public and alleging that the Governor was amenable to issuing some type of pardon or clemency type action which would free Tina; even as he refused to honor the Pardon issued by President Trump. Other legal actions have continued apace which appeared to be indicative of some type of imminent federal intervention by the Federal courts that would otherwise free Tina. Ultimately however, it’s still crickets, as Tina’s health continues to degrade. As recently as the beginning of this week, President Trump posted another in a series of messages to Governor Polis, “Free Tina”. Inexplicably, just days ago, a Former Colorado State Senator Sonya Jaquez Lewis, who is a Democrat, was sentenced after being found guilty of the same crime that Tina Peters was convicted of. She got probation, plus a $3,000.00 fine which will be waived if she does 100 hours of community service. The disparity in sentencing is beyond glaring (let alone the fact that Tina is not guilty of any ‘crime’ while Sonya absolutely was). Governor Polis has been intoning over the last two days that he wants to address this imbalance between Tina’s incarceration and Lewis’s probation. The real question in part is ‘when’ and under what conditions. Several key players in the Colorado political system as well as the Democratic Party Leadership in DC have been very vocal in response to Governor Polis’s comments this week. They say that because Tina is unrepentant, and her ‘crimes’ are so severe, a pardon or clemency would send the wrong message to any others who might be thinking of interfering with the election processes during the mid-terms. As recently as one day ago, people very close to Tina’s case were very comfortable that Tina would be out of prison as soon as this weekend but, that does not now appear to be likely short of a miracle. President Trump knows as well as anybody that Tina truly is a ‘Political Prisoner’. Governor Polis appears to waffle on the issue of penitence on the part of Tina; before she will be freed by him, he wants/needs her to admit the crime(s) and plead for mercy on the way of a pardon. There are a number of reasons why Tina’s conviction will and must ultimately be overturned due to the fatally flawed investigative and trial processes and procedures all through her case.. In the meantime, in any normal world she should and would have been afforded the opportunity of staying free either on Bond or personal recognizance pending the outcome of the appeals process; for PURELY POLITICAL reasons this has not occurred in her case. Let me segway for a moment to other related issues and then come back to Tina. Recently, most communications from in and around the White House by people who are directly involved in matters related to the coming 2026 mid-term election processes have been curtailed. The persons reviewing the 17 page Executive Order which President Trump has stated that he intends to sign soon, have ceased. Some (even ‘good guys’) have intoned that something has gone horribly wrong and ‘now we’re really in trouble’. I say ‘Uh huh, okay’ and ‘you know this how’?. Let me help everyone here.
