Disgraced county election clerk Tina Peters has a new ally in the U.S. District of Colorado’s office after Attorney General Pam [Bimbo #3] Bondi appointed Peter McNeilly to become the next U.S. attorney on Monday.
…
McNeilly was part of a Justice Department cadre who filed a Statement of Interest in March concerning Peters’s election interference case. In August, Peters was convicted on seven counts, including four felonies, for helping a man illegally access Mesa County election voting machines. She was sentenced to nine years in prison.
…
Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser vehemently objected to the review and called on the judge to reject the federal government’s filing. Weiser claimed it was a “naked, political attempt to threaten or intimidate this Court or the attorneys that prosecuted this matter.”
“The United States cites not a single fact to support its baseless allegations that there are any reasonable concerns about Ms. Peters’ prosecution or sentence, or that the prosecution was politically motivated,” Weiser wrote in a response to the Statement of Interest.
