.@realtinapeters (Tina Peters) is currently being held in a state facility in Colorado, but she possesses critical information as a potential federal witness in the current investigation ongoing into the stolen 2020 election.
Federal authorities, including @AGPamBondi , in order to secure her critical testimony, must immediately move to have Tina released into federal custody.
Additionally, a thorough investigation should be conducted into the judge who sentenced her to determine whether her imprisonment was proper or influenced by bias.
Transparency and accountability are essential for justice to be served.

“Russian collusion” was NEVER real.
It was a manufactured HOAX built on lies, leaks, and political sabotage carried out by BOTH Democrats and Republicans who wanted to destroy @POTUS @RealDonaldTrump before he ever got started.
If Vice President @Mike_Pence read the phone transcripts as these newly declassified documents prove, then he KNEW I never discussed sanctions.
So why did former Chief of Staff @Reince drag out the Logan Act, a law that has NEVER been successfully prosecuted in U.S. history?
Why was I targeted over routine transition calls that EVERY administration before us has made?
It was never about “sanctions” or “Russia.” It was about BETRAYAL FROM WITHIN. It was about a political hit job, weaponizing the FBI, the media, and even INSIDERS in the @GOP to damage @POTUS @realDonaldTrump and silence me for standing with him.
This was SUBVERSION at the highest levels.
People of all stripes MUST BE and WILL BE held ACCOUNTABLE. If not by the DOJ/FBI, then by the AMERICAN people.
@BarackObama this means you too!
