Trump threatens ‘harsh measures’ if convicted GOP election denier Tina Peters not freed

Lets go with that. What if someone is convicted of firebombing a state courthouse and the President demanded that person be released or there would be 'harsh measures' against the state?
Why would a president do that? Are you comparing firebombing a court house to denying an election?

Trump has asserted that she is innocent. He's not asking for judicial review or a retrial or anything like that, he's demanding her release under threats of financial pressure period. That's not how the law works here, someone needs to remind him.
 
Again I am taking the worst case scenario to discuss the hypothetical.
The worst case is when you lock people up for simply denying an election

That’s words

Arson of a church is well a crime

Yes this is what I want to discuss, on this here discussion board. :)

Lets assume for purposes that she is utterly innocent, but the evidence remains sufficient to convict, and her 4th/5th Amendment rights weren't violated.
 
No its called discussing a hypothetical. Lets discuss!
Nah; the Issues are her Rights and over the top punishment (Ist and 8th). I'll await the appeals and FBI Investigations.

He’s not allowed to say he thinks she’s innocent?

What law are you referring to? The law that says it’s ok to lock someone up for simply denying an election? Well, your fascism isn’t American

OK now we're getting somewhere. You would wait on her appeals, and have the FBI attempt to charge I guess the prosecutor?
He’s not allowed to say he thinks she’s innocent?
He's asserting free her, or else the state will suffer.
So why did you make the comparison?
as I said twice so far, to have the discussion about what a President should be able to do. I don't give a rip if she is innocent or guilty. I want to discuss what is appropriate for a President to do. Further, we should make the President a Democrat - lets say Obama did this insteads.
 
I was saying the OP said and the charges highlight she was locked up for denying and election and questioning its security


Wow

Colorado is looking like Venezuela
She was found guilty of three counts of attempting to influence a public servant and one count of conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, I can't see any charge pertaining to "denying the election", where did you read that? on a magat twitter post?
 
15th post
Zinco; INVESTIGATE with the FBI if he identifies a possible miscarriage of Justice and go the Appeals Route. It is also under appeal.

Ticktin, a Florida-based attorney and longtime friend of President Donald Trump, said he was willing to drop several claims the magistrate judge said were not yet handled by the State Court of Appeals and should be. The petitioners are still hoping to claim in federal court that Peters' sentencing in a state court was a violation of her 1st Amendment rights because they claim the judge at her trial factored in the potential that not putting Peters in jail would allow her to speak publicly about the election security.


So if the election was secure then why stop Peter's talking about it?

woops

Peters, a former Mesa County clerk, was found guilty by a jury in 2024 on seven counts, including four felonies, for helping to facilitate access to the county’s voting equipment in search of voter fraud that she and her allies were unable to prove following the 2020 election.

Isn’t that what people do when they protest?

You don’t care that she’s innocent or guilty? Wow

And you don’t think a president should fight for imprisoned people that are innocent?

Wow
