"One of Tina Peters’ lawyers, Peter Ticktin, suggested on Trump ally Steve Bannon’s podcast this week that the military be used to free Peters from prison."

And that, my friends, is what we would call "an illegal order."
Colorado's DOC says it won't pursue the transfer of Tina Peters, the Trump-supporting county clerked convicted for breaching voter equipment, as the federal government requested recently. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

With DC shooter now identified as an Afghan national not the antifa secret agent White House hoped for a good time to remember the Trump admin has gutted domestic anti-terrorism capacity and reassigned many to finding grandmothers to arrest at immigration hearings.

Seditious Six sounds like a Quentin Tarantino movie where a failing government administration is losing it’s mind because six lawmakers grew a spine and said out loud, “Sorry about your authoritarian fever dream, we took an oath to the Constitution. Kindly STFU.”
