serve you a copy of President Trump's pardon of Tina Peters, and I'm asking you to deliver her to us, to me right now, so that I can take her home.
And he said, just a minute.
And then a woman came out and said, my name's Michelle Smith, and I'm the assistant director of the Department of Corrections and
Then she pulled out a piece of paper and read me a prepared statement that was typed out on the piece of paper.
And it said essentially that Trump's pardon was not gonna be recognized by the state of Colorado because he didn't have authority to pardon Tina Peters.
And then I said, well, are you asking me to leave?
And she said, yes.
And so I thanked her and shook her hand.
And we, I went over to the car.
We waited another about 40 minutes.
And in the meantime, Peter Tickton sent Michelle Smith an email trying to give her a second opportunity to honor the presidential pardon.
And then I went back to the front door and the same three
camo dressed, DOC officers greeted me.
And I said, I just came back to see if you guys changed your mind.
And they laughed and said, no, we're not changing our minds here.
We're all put away for the night so you can leave.
So at that point, we left and drove back to Denver.
So we believe that President Trump's pardon is valid.
Tina was performing a federal duty when she preserved election records before the Secretary of State destroyed them.
And the Secretary of State destroyed them in Mesa County and in all counties in Colorado where Dominion voting systems is used, which is 62 out of 64 counties.
