Former Colorado County Clerk Tina Peters was attacked in prison, her attorney informed President Donald Trump in a letter.
Peters was convicted in connection to Trump’s 2020 election challenges. She received a nine-year sentence for a security leak after she provided a man affiliated with MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell with access to a voting machine. Trump has urged Colorado to release her.
The attorney letter highlighted Peters’s experience while in state custody.
“About 6 months ago, Mrs. Peters was threatened with harm,” the letter, which The Hill obtained, read. “Her life was threatened by a group of inmates, to stab her and to kill her. This was reported to the FBI and DOJ, which had agents interview her. She was moved to a different unit.”
“In the new unit, she was attacked by other prisoners 3 times in different locations where guards had to pull inmates off of her,” the attorney went on. “There is actually a safe unit where inmates who do not cause problems can be assigned. She has applied to be put into that unit but was denied 6 times without a valid reason.”
On Monday, a federal judge denied Peter’s appeal to release Peters from prison.
“Ms. Peters’ appeal remains pending in state court, where she argues that the trial court violated her First Amendment rights by punishing her based upon her speech, any First Amendment error can be corrected through the state appeal,” Magistrate Judge Scott Varholak stated
“Ms. Peters raises important constitutional questions concerning whether the trial court improperly punished her more severely because of her protected First Amendment speech,” the judge added. “But because this question remains pending before Colorado courts, this Court must abstain from answering that question until after the Colorado courts have decided the issue.”

He has told you what He wants, and this all it is: to be fair and just and merciful and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8 Living Bible
He has showed thee, oh, man, what is good, and what doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? Micah 6:8 King James Version
The second has always been my favorite. Apparently Colorado government and prison officials have not heard of it. One day God will bring it to their attention.
Scott Varholak = Obama “judge.”
So they hold people like Ms. Peters hostage as a political prisoner while at the same time, fellow Demonrat “judges” obstruct the President’s agenda and cover for illegal aliens and other crimes committed by their fellow Deep Staters like James Comey. High treason.
