Election Deniers Celebrate Dept. of Justice Intervention in Tina Peters' Bail Request [View all]
Election-denying Republicans in Colorado and elsewhere celebrated the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) intervention on behalf of Tina Peters’ attempt to get out of prison. Last month Peters, who is currently serving a nine-year sentence for multiple election-related felonies, filed for a writ of habeas corpus, which would release her on bond while her appeal is heard.
On Monday, Yaakov Roth, acting assistant attorney general civil division, asked Magistrate Judge Scott Varholak for “prompt and careful consideration” of Peters’ request:
“… the United States respectfully submits that the concerns raised in the Application warrant — at the very least — prompt and careful consideration by this Court (and, at the appropriate time, the Colorado appellate courts).
The statement continues to note the DOJ’s ongoing search for abuse in the criminal justice system, including the prosecution of Peters.
