This is really to expose CO as the powerless small state that it is. Likely this is an opening salvo.
Personally, I think Peters is a hero for trying to expose the flaws in the Dominion system. Unfortunately, she went about it the wrong way. Her sentence was undoubtedly too harsh. I wish Governor Polis would pardon her.
Unfortunately, the Constitution is clear, and there's no legal ground to stand on for a Presidential pardon. I was struck with how naive her lawyers were to think Colorado was going to just release her.
The fact that they did that without a backup plan, makes me think this isn't a serious attempt to spring her from jail. I think this wasn't the White House's first salvo. I think it was their last.

The governor needs a phone call.

why can't the feds charge her (& chauvin) w/fed crimes, take custody of her, place her in a country club fed pen & give her day furloughs.
I asked this in the other thread. I got a lot of DVs, but no answer

Seems like the time to make that argument was before the trial started in state court, but I'm no attorney.
Yup. Or to try to remove it to federal court based on the nexus between the underlying federal considerations and the Colorado laws.
At this point, I don't think there is any good-faith legal argument to be made for the efficacy of a Presidental pardon. This would be a much worse case than the elections cases from 2021. The Colorado bar association will sanction anybody who files a challenge to the incarceration of Peters based on President Trump’s pardon faster than you can say "Rudy Giuliani."

Maybe they thought it might be malpractice not to try.

There was no real nexus

Not if they're challenging. The law to try to repeal the current interpretation. The problem at the election attorneys got into was dishonesty with the court

It's hard to imagine a case of malpractice based in following the law

Correct

However Governor; Ms Peters identified voter fraud.
Yea I’m sure that will go over well and the Gov will come to her senses. She was still convicted and Trump can’t do anything with that regardless of his intention.

She gon' be in jail a long time. tOrange can't pardon anyone convicted for state crimes.

I agree. I was just going along with the proposition that if you had a theory as to how this was "federal" that should have been asserted long ago.
Do you think an argument for the efficacy of a presidential pardon would be subject to Rule 11 here?

No one from the Trump administration went to the prison to ask for her release.

The silly pardon itself has no role in this?

He's obviously trying to bring attention to the situation and brew controversy.

Crimes against the United States.
She was convicted for violations of state law.
No authority.
It sucks for her, but it's pretty damned clear.

And you are straight up delusional if you think any of us believe your account isn't an alter.
