If President Donald Trump can invade Venezuela and grab Nicolas Maduro, who then was dictator there, and can invade Iran to battle Islamic mullahs, he also can invade Colorado and give freedom to that leftist state’s “political prisoner Tina Peters.”
That’s the verdict from columnist Wayne Allyn Root.
He jumps directly into the developing catastrophe wrought by that state’s Democrat homosexual Gov. Jared Polis, its Democrat-dictated state legislature, its Democrat-majority state Supreme Court.
“President Trump, freeing Tina Peters has to be a priority in your life right now. We know you have a lot to deal with right now- the war in Iran…the war in Democrat-run cities…the war with communist insurrection judges…the war with Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, etc. The list is long and endless. We appreciate everything you’re facing and doing. But Tina Peters is in the most outrageous, shocking, disgusting, and disgraceful situation in America today. Maybe EVER. She is a Soviet-style political prisoner inside America.
“Colorado Democrats have destroyed her life, taken away her freedom, and they are clearly hoping and rooting for her to die in prison. Notice I didn’t say ‘praying’ because we know they are all Godless communists, so they don’t pray. Tina was a Mesa County, Colorado clerk. She had no criminal history. She had never even gotten a parking ticket in her life.”
Root explains what she did was “her legal job and finding disturbing evidence of Colorado Democrats rigging, cheating, and stealing the 2020 election through voting machine fraud, and saving the evidence, and trying to expose it, she was treated like a terrorist.”
She was demonized by Colorado’s Democrat Secretary of State Jena Griswold, who by the way was documented to have posted a long list of election systems passwords online, and never even reprimanded.
Peters’ arrest was followed by a “Soviet-style communist show trial” during which a judge made such outlandish remarks and punitive sentence he was overturned within the state’s own leftist judiciary.
Root pleaded, “Forget that Tina was and is innocent of any crime… Forget that she was preserving election records in her role as a County Clerk- exactly as the law demands… Forget that she was persecuted like a terrorist because Democrats were so scared of the hard evidence she had found. All anyone needs to know is that Tina was a first-time offender, 70-years old, a Gold Star mom (her Navy Seal son died for his country), in ill health, and never even had a parking ticket in her life. The charges against her did not involve violence.”
He continued, “She is sick. Her cancer may have returned. Gang members have beaten her. She has spent most of her time in isolation (i.e., solitary confinement)- officials claim to keep her safe. She sits 23 hours a day in a cramped cell that used to be a closet holding a washing machine.”
A pardon from President Trump drew yawns from state officials.
“This is all happening in America, not the Soviet Union, or Venezuela, or Iran. President Trump, if you could send the U.S. military to invade a foreign country, Venezuela, to grab dictator and Drug Lord Nicolas Maduro, and to Iran to replace their regime leaders, why not send the military to Colorado to grab 70-year-old Gold Star mom Tina Peters and bring her to safety?
“This poor woman has been tortured. She has suffered enough- and she sacrificed her freedom and perhaps her life, to prove Democrats stole the 2020 election from you and many other Republicans,” wrote Root.
WorldNetDaily recently reported when the Colorado Court of Appeals threw out Peters’ nine-year prison term, but she still remains behind bars.
The judge who handed her that improper sentence, Matthew Barrett, was “caught lying.”
He claimed his sentencing procedures were perfectly fine, only to be corrected by counsel for Peters’ defense, who pointed out his statements were “not true.”
For witnesses, plaintiffs and defendants in a courtroom, that could be called perjury.
Columnist Joe Hoft wrote about the situation as the state of Colorado tries to fix its egregious errors in Peters’ case.
Barrett cited his own rant during sentencing for his defense. That was when he made outside-the-judicial-system accusations against Peters.
The column pointed out Peters’ defense team responded, “Judge Barrett’s assertion that he ‘chose a sentence in roughly the midpoint of the 2 presumptive ranges’ is not true. Judge Barrett made the sentences consecutive instead of concurrent, which is almost unheard of when multiple counts arise out of a single criminal episode. Judge Barrett imposed a sentence totaling eight years and [nine] months, instead of 3.5 years if the sentences ran concurrently, as most judges do.”
The commentary said the claim was in Barrett’s response to a resentencing process now going on.
It added, “Judge Barrett sentenced Tina Peters to prison after a hateful rage in court. This was one of the worst courtroom rants in U.S. history. The judge prevented Tina from providing evidence that supported her actions, ignored federal statutes like the Supremacy Clause as well as the actions of Federal employees like AG Garland and FBI Head Wray, who joined a conference call regarding Tina before her arrest.”
The judge, in fact, inexplicably verbally added accusations, without evidence, of Peters being a “charlatan,” trying to “pedal (sic) a snake oil,” preaching “lies,” “undermining” elections,
Peters defenders asked the judge to be tossed off the case because he is “unashamed of his actual prejudice against” her.
Her lawyers now are working on an appeal to the state Supreme Court, which has gone so far in its support of Democrat politics the members tried to ban President Trump from the 2020 election ballot before being slapped down by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Gov. Jared Polis has admitted the sentencing was egregious, because he noted one of his friends was convicted on similar charges and given on a slap on the wrist. But he has refused to act in Peters’ case.
WorldNetDaily reported when the appellate court found the sentencing judge violated the Constitution by lashing out at Peters for exercising her free speech rights.
Last week, former State Senator Sonya Jaquez Lewis was sentenced to probation and community service after being convicted of four felonies including Attempt to Influence a Public Official. She made a horrible mistake, and she was wrong. I hope she learns from this and can rebuild…

WorldNetDaily reported earlier on Trump’s opinion of Polis, regarding the Peters case.
He had said Polis can “rot in Hell.”
On social media, Trump posted, “God Bless Tina Peters, who is now, for two years out of nine, sitting in a Colorado Maximum Security Prison, at the age of 73, and sick, for the ‘crime’ of trying to stop the massive voter fraud that goes on in her State (where people are leaving in record numbers!). Hard to wish her a Happy New Year, but to the Scumbag Governor, and the disgusting ‘Republican’ (RINO!) DA, who did this to her (nothing happens to the Dems and their phony Mail In Ballot System that makes it impossible for a Republican to win an otherwise very winnable State!). I wish them only the worst. May they rot in Hell. FREE TINA PETERS!”
