A judge ripped into a Colorado county clerk for her crimes and lies before sentencing her Thursday to nine years behind bars for a data-breach scheme spawned from the rampant false claims about voting machine fraud in the 2020 presidential race.
District Judge Matthew Barrett told former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters — after earlier sparring with her for continuing to press discredited claims about rigged voting machines — that she never took her job seriously.
“I am convinced you would do it all over again if you could. You’re as defiant as any defendant this court has ever seen,” Barrett told her in handing down the sentence. “You are no hero. You abused your position and you’re a charlatan.”
And now she's a convicted charlatan. Listening to the lies of Trump and the addlepated rantings of Lindell can cost one.

Well...
Another one down,
Another one down,
Another one bits the dust.
Strange game, the only way to win is not play.
Eck!
As was noted elsewhere, it seems to me that the real suckers and losers are those who bet and lost their livelihoods on Fergus' lies who he certainly doesn't remember the names of.
