@jsolomonReports covers last week’s FBI and local police raids under search warrants in Mesa County, CO, of the homes of former County Clerk, Tina Peters, and other women:

According to copies of the warrants left with the subjects, the alleged crimes being investigated were tampering with election equipment, which would be a state law offense, and wire fraud, a federal crime. The use of the wire fraud state raises a number of important questions

and could evidence an effort by the DOJ and FBI to target 2020 “election deniers.” According to Solomon’s reporting, backed up by public interviews if Ms. Peters, this investigation arises from Ms Peters’ efforts last May to create a forensic backup of an election server in her

office’s control, before Dominion installed a scheduled software upgrade. After the software installation, Ms Peters made another copy of the server, and then turned the before and after versions over to experts who compared the two. They reportedly found that key files and data

we’re deleted in the process of installing the new software by Dominion. Ms Peters brought copies of before and after images to Mike Lindell’s election symposium last summer and argued that Dominion engaged in covering up potential election fraud and system vulnerabilities. By

any understanding of the concept, Ms Peters held herself out as a patriotic whistleblower. Now she finds herself and some associates at the center of a joint federal/state criminal investigation. So what’s the federal interest? It’s a federal crime to use interstate wire

communication devices or the internet to commit fraud, which 18 USC section 1346 says includes a scheme to deprive one of honest services of a person. In other words, unless the feds have evidence Ms Peters and her friends tried to fraudulently raise money under some scheme, it

appears that the theory being spiked is that wire communications may have been employed to deprive Mesa County of the honest services of Md Peters. So the question is, how? Ms Peters and others in her circle are vocal proponents of election fraud theories and are suspicious of

the reliability and security of electronic voting equipment. These search warrants squarely raise the issue of whether it’s now the DOJ’s position that it’s dishonest for an elected official to buy into “conspiracy theories” to contest the results of the 2020 election, and the

full force of federal criminal law enforcement institutions will be used to protect the public from conspiracies to deprive the public of honest public services by helping public officials to sponsor false claims of rigged elections. I hope my fears are not well founded.

Nevertheless the issues raised by the FBI’s role in these warrants bears watching. This could be the beginning of the DOJ’s crackdown on public officials who deny the results of the 2020 election.

In other words, is the FBI going after supporters of elected officials with wire fraud investigations based on the the theory that it’s fraud to contend that the election was stolen and the official should take some official action to remedy the problems?
