"Earlier this year, President Trump pardoned around 1,500 people for their involvement in efforts to overturn
the 2020 presidential election. As we near the fifth anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack, there is one high-profile
election denier still behind bars. As White House correspondent Liz Landers reports,
there is little Trump can do to get former Colorado county clerk Tina Peters out of prison."
Judge Matthew Barrett at sentencing hearing:
"Your lies are well documented and these convictions are serious.
I'm convinced you would do it all over again if you could.
You are as defiant a defendant as this court has ever seen.
You are no hero. You abused your position, and you are a charlatan."
Jena Griswold — Secretary of State, Colorado:
"It would set the precedent that that people can attack our elections
and potentially disenfranchise Americans without any type of consequences."
"
It would also set the precedent that if people break the law and are friends
with Donald Trump, they won't face consequences. That's a direct assault to the rule of law in this country and it just cannot stand."
