The Trump administration is taking steps to threaten the state of Colorado, in an attempt to compel the release of an infamous former Mesa County elections clerk serving a nine-year prison sentence for an illegal scheme to try to prove President Donald Trump's election conspiracy theories.

According to 9 News, "The Colorado Department of Corrections confirms it received notice from the Federal Bureau of Prisons on Nov. 12, a concrete move toward a speculative strategy" to spring Tina Peters. "President Trump cannot pardon the former Mesa County clerk, who is serving a nine-year prison term on state charges for a scheme to sneak fellow election deniers into Colorado’s voting systems in a search for election rigging."

Per Trump's pardon attorney Ed Martin, “We did it in a way that puts the right kind of pressure on them. If the feds say we want something, you change your tune.”....

Democratic Gov. Jared Polis, the report noted, has previously said he will not capitulate on the issue, and “justice is not for sale.”
