NEW: Odd twist in an odd story. The one about a county clerk whose office is under investigation for leaking Dominion voting system passwords to QAnon. Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters' office said the district attorney advised her not to speak about this. I asked the DA about that.
21st Judicial District DA Dan Rubinstein says not only did he not speak to Clerk Peters or anyone in her office, he confirmed he's opened a criminal investigation into the allegation that the voting system was compromised.
The DA tells me that he did give county commissioners a courtesy heads up that search warrants may be served on county property. Clerk Peters' spokeswoman has not responded to my questions about why she claimed the DA was advising her on this situation.
DA Rubinstein, like Peters, is an elected Republican. I've seen no evidence that Rubinstein has promoted the election rigging conspiracy theories that Clerk Peters has encouraged.
