Tina Peters Gets 9 Years As a First Offender, While Former State Senator Democrat Sonya Jaquez Lewis Given Probation And Community Service For the Same Charges: Same Offense.
In a blinding flash of the obvious somewhat confession, Colorado Governor Jared “Mr. Potato Head” Polis released a somewhat shocking acknowledgement of what a farce the railroading of Tina Peters truly was in comparison with others convicted of the same “crimes.”
Former State Senator Sonya Jacuez Lewis faced some of the same charges as Tina Peters, only she actually did those crimes. But hers were not made for sentencing charges that remind of a railroad, the political theater of the indictment of a ham sandwich and Kangaroo Courts.
Jaquez Lewis was found guilty at trial and admits her guilt, a democrat confessing in a democrat system and she was given special treatment by her political kin. Tina Peters is a republican in a democrat system who never acknowledged guilt and was in fact never given a chance to present the evidence that was the basis for her actions: and the book was thrown at her, maximum sentencing.
Peters received no compassion from the state or the courts, was not allowed to present her story at trial, received no consideration for her age, the fact that she had health issues, or her status as a Gold Star Mom: she was given the maximum sentence with no mitigating factor reductions.
Supreme Court Justice Roberts can spout all the nonsense he can summon about there not being political justice, nor judges who are biased, nor the issue of there being at least a two-tiered justice system: but here we are…
Before getting carried away giving Polis too much credit for his forthright and honest take on this, take note that this is a political kindred soul of his and the bottom-line takeaway is that the hypocrisy is so obvious-the bright and shiny double standard of justice from a lady who is supposed to be blindfolded-that it forced Polis to fess up.
Here is his full statement released on X so you can judge for yourself (from the piece):
“Last week, former State Senator Sonya Jaquez Lewis was sentenced to probation and community service after being convicted of four felonies, including Attempt to Influence a Public Official. She made a horrible mistake, and she was wrong,” Polis said in a post on X. “I hope she learns from this and can rebuild her life. As someone who has known Sonya as a friend for many years, on a personal level I was glad to hear she isn’t going to prison which is a hard place for anyone, no less a retired 68-year old pharmacist.”
Jaquez Lewis was sentenced to two years of supervised probation and 150 hours of community service, and a $3,000 fine, to be waived if she completes an additional 100 hours of community service, on one count of attempting to influence a public servant and three counts of forgery, all felony charges.
Jaquez Lewis was indicted last July for submitting forged letters to a state Senate ethics committee in January 2025 that was investigating her over allegations of mistreatment of legislative aides.
In his post on X, Polis added, “But it is not lost on me that she was convicted of the exact same felony charge as Tina Peters — attempting to influence a public official — and yet Tina Peters, as a non-violent first time offender got a nine year sentence.”
“Justice in Colorado and America needs to be applied evenly, you never know when you might need to depend on the rule of law. This is the context I am using as I consider cases like this that have sentencing disparities, which is why I have extended the deadline for clemency applications until April 3rd. I will be making decisions on these cases throughout the remainder of my governorship,” the governor said.
In his own words Polis tells you everything you need to know about how the democrats have been steamrolling politics in Colorado since the unthinkable happened in the 2018 elections when the democrats swept into power in a suspicious election characterized by mail-in voting and the use of the Dominion Voting System statewide.
This is a friend-a political ally of his-and it is not only undeniable that she did it and is 100% guilty. This was a scheme on Vaquez part where the overwhelming evidence cast her as an evil person who at each step of her crime deliberately pursued actions that are specified in the charges-the applicable statutes. There was no mechanical finesse or art form required to find charges to go after her, unlike Tina Peters.
It has been a democrat circus across the board in Colorado since 2018-where Virginia is heading if not stopped-under the reign of new governor Abigail Spanberger. Across the board-the economy, homelessness, drug policy, criminal justice reform, illegal alien policy mimicking sanctuary states, continued infringement of our 2d Amendment rights/restrictive gun control, Letter People accommodations, etc., etc., etc.
But you know it is bad-and cheeky-when it reaches the point when it has to be acknowledged. Just because Polis is acknowledging how bad this looks from a political and judicial standpoint in Colorado-doesn’t mean anything will come of this-in spite of how obvious the remedy for this hypocrisy may look.
Many Coloradans from both sides of the aisle-unfortunately-have already come public chastising Polis for making this statement and insinuating clemency for Tina Peters, who has already served over a year of her sentence.
Peters has not admitted guilt, apologized, nor waivered in her insistence about Colorado Secretary of State Gena Griswold overseeing a fraudulent election in 2020. None of the proof that Peters pursued, nor the truth about what was found in the forensic audit accomplished of the Mesa County election results has been acknowledged or explained by any Colorado official: none of it was looked at, considered or allowed in the railroading of Tina Peters by the Colorado “justice system.” From the above piece:
Convicted in 2024, Peters was found guilty on seven out of 10 charges, including four felonies — three counts of attempting to influence a public servant and one count of conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation. She was also convicted on three misdemeanors — first-degree official misconduct, violation of duty and failure to comply with an order from the secretary of state.
The charges are all tied to a security breach for election equipment at the Mesa County Clerk and Recorder’s office in May 2021.
I did an extensive series on this issue that includes detailed anomalies from Colorado elections over the span of a decade.
Time will tell whether Polis will do the right thing or not. President Trump has already pardoned Peters on the premise that her actions were undertaken to pursue actions to safeguard a federal election.
Or will Colorado democrats continue the policy of thumbing their noses at the apparently silly notion of “doing the right thing?”
