MSNBC: Tina Peters, the former Colorado County clerk convicted of orchestrating a security breach of her own election computer system in 2020 in service of the lies spread by Donald Trump and his allies over vote fraud, was sentenced to nine years behind bars.
Peters, who continues to promote the lies that voting machines were manipulated to steal the election from Donald Trump, faced some hard truths from the judge this afternoon.

Greg Kelly: Oh, yeah. Lies. Everything that they... Everything is a lie. Everything is a lie.
Do they know? What do they know? They know nothing.
They sit at these desks and they just shoot things off. A lie.
Now, you can have these concerns.
You can investigate. She genuinely believes what she believes.
And a lot of people agree with her.
All right. The judge.
This is what you know, sometimes the worst things happen, but they set you up for something amazing.
This guy got so out of control.
And if he didn't, she wouldn't be on the doorstep of freedom.
OK, look at the way he talked to her:
-
Mesa County Colorado District Court Judge Matthew Barrett: There are many things in my mind that are crystal clear about this case.
You are no hero, you abused your position, and you're a charlatan who used, and is still using, your prior position in office to peddle a snake oil that's been proven to be junk time and time again.
In your world, it's all about you.
But at bottom, this case was about your corrupt conduct and how no one is above the law.
No one in this country has absolute power.
Your position as a clerk and recorder, a constitutional position, does, does not provide you with a means by which to do your own investigation to not listen to the judiciary to not listen to the executives higher than you to not listen to the legislature who sets the law as it may be.
This is nonsense.
-
Greg Kelly: Proven by whom? Those 63 courts?
I mean, who really looked into all of that stuff? I know for a fact that people voted in that election illegally.
I mean, forget the machines. Just look at the Constitution of Pennsylvania.
Just look at all the rules they just threw out.
COVID! They used COVID as the excuse.
Hey, how about this?
A Democrat governor just set her free.
Jared Polis, governor of Colorado, and he is a Democrat.
And this is what he had to say. And I give him a lot of credit.
Well, I don't agree with everything here.
She committed the crime. She deserves to be a convicted felon.
She was given an unusually harsh sentence. Yes.
Nine years.
Absolutely, unusually harsh.
So I'm glad he's seeing it the right way.
President Trump is applying enormous pressure on the state.
Oh yeah, you want to give Tina Peters a hard time?
Maybe we'll give the federal dollars you want for your woke environmental center to, I don't know, a better, more worthy cause in another state.
See, all this stuff is happening because of him.
And not only that he's there, but what he has done. right?
I'll never forget. Nobody really, he didn't have to do this, but he did it.
There were so many Republicans who wanted to "move on" from January 6th.
He pardoned every single one of them, right? It was beautiful. There were like 4 that had to be addressed later, but 1,600 people walked free that very night, his first night back in the presidency.
