Why We Vote Ep. 150: Tina Peters Retaliation, Colorado Power Plays & The Prosecutorial Panic

CannCon and Ashe in America break down the latest alarming developments in the Tina Peters case, beginning with news that she was placed in solitary confinement after filing a grievance, an action described by inmates as blatant retaliation. They walk through Tina’s firsthand account of being strip-searched, mentally evaluated, and isolated for a 17-day “investigation,” then expose a series of letters sent to Governor Polis from AG Phil Weiser, DA Dan Rubenstein, and the Colorado County Clerks Association, all pressuring the state to stop her transfer to federal custody. CannCon and Ashe highlight how these officials openly admit their fear of Tina’s speech, not her alleged crimes, and connect the situation to Colorado’s wider political machinery, from Griswold and Crane to thousands of new campaign-finance violations and fresh filings in the Arizona elector case.
