The judge rips Tina Peters crime in her sentencing. It is well deserved. View video.

A rural Colorado county courthouse beefed up security Friday after threats were made against staff and a judge who sentenced former county clerk Tina Peters to nearly nine years behind bars and admonished her for her role in a data breach scheme catalyzed by the lie that the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump.

Courthouse staff in Grand Junction, Colorado, received multiple threats that were being vetted by law enforcement while extra security was provided, said spokesperson Wendy Likes with the Mesa County Sheriff’s Office.

.... drop ship a few of his lumpy foam pillows direct to her prison cell to make her stay some what more comfy ? A deck of cards to play solitaire might be helpful for her too.

Lindell cannot afford to give ANYTHING away.
His recent Nazi symbolism price drop is a clear effort to shed inventory to keep up with interest payments on his massive debt service.
The needs every dime.
He wasn't all that wealthy in the first place (relative to true business titans), and the oxygen is leaving the room he's in.
And, I'm loving every second of it.

"She is remanded to the custody of the sheriff."

None of this "you have 90 days to put your affairs in order before surrendering" or "you are free on bond pending appeal" action here. He sent Ms. Peters straight to jail.
