[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A Colorado election clerk who was indicted on 10 criminal counts has said that Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) "encouraged" her to commit the alleged crimes.

In a report on Sunday, The New York Times recounted the "strange tale" of Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, who has fueled right-wing conspiracy theories claiming the 2020 presidential election was stolen.

"Ms. Peters was indicted on 10 criminal counts related to the effort to copy voting equipment software, including attempting to influence a public servant, criminal impersonation, conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, identity theft and first-degree official misconduct," the report explained.

1. So, if Boebert asked her to jump off a cliff,

would she have done it?

Adults are responsible for their own actions. IMO, the encourager and the encouraged should both be punished.

If not, too bad. You are going to be left swinging in the wind.
