Update: 7/1/26 12:24 p.m. – Tina Peters’ parole officer, Dan West, about the question of Tina being able to leave the state, said he “needed to speak in generalities” but that “We know she [Tina] was there [at the White House] and that “Parolees have to go through a process” to leave the state, and “she did.” He said there “is a time frame involved” in which she has to be back in the state within a certain amount of time.
Tina Peters met with Convicted Felon/Adjudicated Sexual Abuser/President Trump in the Oval Office in Washington, D.C. today.
The terms of Peters’ parole require that she first obtain permission to leave the state from her parole officer, but the Colorado Department of Corrections Parole Office said that “Invitation by someone in the federal government overrides parole terms.” Is is not known how Peters came to visit the Oval Office, or who, may have invited her.
Trump posted about the visit on his Truth Social account and took full credit for getting Peters released from prison, saying it happened after he “got the Republican Party into gear.” His post included numerous outright lies, like saying Peters spent “much time in solitary confinement” while in prison, that “mail in ballots are a disaster” (even though he himself votes by mail) and “they put her in jail for voter fraud.”
Colorado House Representative Jason Crow (D-CO6) re-posted the above photo on Facebook and wrote,
“Tina Peters deserves to be in prison, not getting photo ops in the Oval Office.”
Trump’s status as an adjudicated sexual abuser was permanently reaffirmed this week after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected his request to toss a $5 million verdict in a sexual assault case brought against him by E. Jean Carroll. The ruling effectively put a final end to Trump’s years-long efforts to avoid accountability for the violent assault he committed against Carroll in a New York department store in the spring of 1996.
In addition to being an adjudicated sexual abuser, Trump’s name appears in the Epstein files numerous times in allegations made to the FBI that he raped and abused 13 and 14 year old teenage girls along with his longtime friend Jeffrey Epstein. California House Representative Ted Lieu, who can view unredacted versions of the Epstein files, told reporters last February that Trump’s name appears “thousands and thousands of time” in the Epstein files, and that the files contain “highly disturbing allegations” that President Trump raped and threatened to kill children.
This *really* p!$$e$ me off! Somehow I thought that the 10th Amendment reserves that any power not explicitly delegated to the federal government belongs to the states. I guess that the Colorado Department of Corrections Parole Office somehow forgot about this? And forgot that she needed the Parole Board’s approval for travel?? Or simply they didn’t give a crap . . .
The image of two of my unfavorite criminals mugging for the camera in the bordello-chic Oval Orifice looks like an A.I. Onion photo. Good work, Anne.
Well my guess is that the Parole Board wants to stay away from anything to do with Tina, and I wouldn’t blame them.
I am so sick of the lies, hate and Polis I could scream!
There are so many other people in prison that deserve Tina’s
privilege!
There is a story about the people on the parole board that deal with people who deserve to be released, that put in the work, and still may not get out.
And I bet, most are people of color!
