Mike Lindell associate and former Mesa Clerk Tina Peters was sentenced today to 9 years in prison for her role in attempting to hack Dominion voting machines to prove Donald Trump won the 2020 election.
The judge is right that this woman appears to show no remorse for her crimes, continued to spread Trump's lies and conspiracy theories, and deserves a prison sentence for all the chaos she created at a cost to the taxpayer. The fact that she hacked an innocent colleague's identify to gain access to voting systems commit her crimes is evidence enough she knew exactly what she was doing was wrong.
Barrett said Peters "was no hero, you are a charlatan."
And that statement could readily be directed to all the tRumpers named in Special Counsel Smith's filing on the Jan6 criminal indictment recently released by the DC court. Indeed, "charlatan" is a top-down description of tRump and all his minions who tried to steal the 2020 election by fraudulent means, and like Peters, will *eventually* feel the sting of justice.
I hate to admit this, but every time I read Chutzpah, which most of us know is pronounced Hhhutzpah, I think of Michele Bachman, who pronounced it "CHUTSPAH". What a putz. 🤣
We have hardly gotten to the head planners yet! What's to be done with Justice Thomases wife? She was on the phone throughout the whole the whole insurrection telling others what to do! And there's Trump's son in law Jared Kushner, making an illegal 'visit' (a person without authorization cannot visit Saudi Arabia) to the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia and coming home with 2 BILLION dollars - as his personal property! We haven't heard from him since!!! There's probably 100 persons yet to be brought before the courts.
I have been thinking of Ginni Thomas now that Jack Smith’s evidence has been released (though redacted). There’s cell phone info there, right, and testimony from Mark Meadows? If we vote in a blue wave next month, I really hope we will see Supreme Court reform, Clarence Thomas impeached, and Ginni Thomas brought to justice, or at least fully exposed if she didn’t commit any actual crimes
9 years in prison. Does she get it yet that Trump is walking around in silk suits while she's in prison for trying to help him? I doubt it, of course. She had to delude herself big time to even do for Trump and Lindell.
9 years - so Lindell should get more and also Guiliani and of course Trump should break the records and get a life sentence ! -- Why didn't this happen yet?
So many lives destroyed by their own gullibility. I am never going to understand how any adult can be so enchanted by 45. One more life ultimately destroyed by the death of the Fairness Doctrine. If the RWNJ had not gotten access to our airwaves, so much of this bullshit could have been avoided.
The judge also ordered costs of prosecution- but the cost determination might still be litigated at a future hearing. The judge really dug in about how entitled she was, how she had 4 lawyers and was traveling on private jets etc… compared to most defendants he sees - his analysis of his sentencing was very fun to listen to and to watch unfold!
Well, of course she's wrong, we all know that the election was stolen by Jewish space lasers and sold the highest bidder in South Africa, but then Biden crime family stole it from there in the middle of the night.
On a serious note, it is yet another demonstration that repugs' only strategy is building a narrative, a false one, on hopes to start a civil war. The role of corporate media is critical. I wonder how much, and what coverage this will get.

There are a lot of crimes in your description. I love this consequential conviction. Trumpty is toast.
Bye bye and good riddance.

Every single one… Charlatans!
But but but!…the non-magnetic prison mattress, yer honor 😲
The chutzpah of these MAGAts!

No remorse. These are whackadoodle lowlifes.
They have been trained to fall on their sword for Dear Leader.
Draining the swamp one traitor at a time! Buh bye 👋🏻
Takes soooo damn long, though. This crap will continue until the head planners are locked up

According to the actions she took that day, acting as a mediator in the insurrection with Trump's top men, she has committed a very serious crime.
And yes, it is infuriating that Republicans have blocked investigations into Jared Kushner while deflecting with “But Hunter Biden….”

Yikes. The lives the orange maniac has destroyed. Tina taking 9 years for the team! I suppose that means she's more loyal than Pence.

The article makes it clear that she's another narcissist herself and prison is right where she should be.
I would love to see Lindell pulled in he can cry in his pillow in prison.
Heck allow him to take one of his lumpy pillows with him--or maybe that is cruel and unusual punishment?
Crazy lying MAGA cult bit*ch

My thing --anyone who doesn't get American frustration about this is not paying attention or lacks empathy.

It’s amazing that the excuses these people can come up with, a magnetic mattress?? I’ve thought of heard it all! lol what an idiot!!
I didn't realize it cost my county 1.4 million dollars. If it is 9 years, that is not enough. She disgraced our county.

She disgraced herself when she made the bad choices.
The Woman is obviously brainwashed and delusional! I absolutely cannot believe these people. Even being sentenced she was not remorseful.
Dont you just love the back pedaling she gave to the judge immediately after her sentence? She is deep as water on the street.
'Cept for Asheville streets
Well, of course she's wrong, we all know that the election was stolen by Jewish space lasers and sold the highest bidder in South Africa, but then Biden crime family stole it from there in the middle of the night.

His cult followers will scream election interference and machine errors when he loses again; it never ends.
all the more reason our voting against Rump is so important. I want a landslide victory. It will restore my hope in this countrys intelligence.
It also makes accountability even more paramount--let people see what is done to individuals who mess with American votes...
