New Statement From Peters' Attorney on Polis & Clemency: "Tina Thanks Him."

Late Monday, I received the following from Tina Peters legal team:

"Tina Peters is grateful to Governor Polis for considering her request for clemency. As the governor said, “Justice in Colorado and America needs to be applied evenly, you never know when you might need to depend on the rule of law." While Tina suffers in prison, another public official convicted of the same offense pays a fine and performs 150 hours of public service - less than one month of work. Tina's political enemies (Secretary of State Jena Griswold, Attorney General Phil Weiser, and Dominion Voting Systems shill Matt Crane) today released statements demanding that Governor Polis show no mercy. It will take great courage for Governor Polis to grant Tina clemency, and Tina thanks him. John Case"

When pressed on whether a clemency application has been submitted, a member of the team responded,

"There is no missing paperwork."

As the governor said, “Justice in Colorado and America needs to be applied evenly,

you never know when you might need to depend on the rule of law."

I smell FEAR.

Hemispheric Boss Level: Epic – Venezuela Edition

So, let’s put it all together.

President Trump proactively secured the border, targeted narcotraffickers, confronted narcoterrorists, targeted Mexican drug cartel leadership, leveraged the DOJ to indict regional actors, pushed China out of control in the Panama Canal, took out Nicholas Maduro, took control of Venezuela oil production – both for the security of the U.S. and benefit of the Venezuelan people, removed the discounted oil benefit for China and reasserted stability in the Western hemisphere.

Then, with all that in place, he turned toward Iran…. but, proactively planned for a ‘Shield of the Americas Summit’ before the Iran operation began and scheduled it while Operation Epic Fury continues.

This my friends, is a level of strategic boss maneuvering beyond anything we have ever witnessed before.
