MyPillow CEO touts 'huge case' and predicts SCOTUS will rule 9-0 in his favor...
• https://lawandcrime.com, MATT NAHAMMyPillow CEO Mike Lindell said in a media interview on Monday that he's not afraid of jail because he's already been there and, in any event, a "huge case" will soon come before the U.S. Supreme Court that will end 9-0 in his favor, just as the justices ruled to keep Donald Trump on the ballot.
Lindell began the remarks on Human Events' Real America's Voice by railing against Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold (D) for "what she's done" to indicted former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters.
Peters, who was featured in the Lindell-funded 2020 election conspiracy movie "[S]election Code," was accused at the state level of tampering with election equipment, attempting to influence public servants, and engaging in official misconduct by allowing an unauthorized third party to make copies of voting machine hard drives, leading "confidential digital images" of county Dominion Voting Systems equipment and passwords to be "published on the internet."
Though her trial was set to begin in early February, Peters fired her lawyers, leading to a delay until late July. In December, Peters sued U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to shut down the state prosecution and a federal probe relating to identity theft, intentional damage to a protected computer, and conspiracy, a probe in which she and Lindell were previously identified as "subjects." Court records reviewed by Law&Crime that a subsequent Peters request to U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit for an "injunction pending appeal and for expedited merits briefing" was denied on Feb. 5.
"To obtain an injunction pending appeal, Appellant must show that she is likely to succeed on the merits, that she is likely to suffer irreparable harm without an injunction, that the balance of equities tips in her favor, and that an injunction is in the public interest," the court concluded. "We have considered appellant's motion in light of these standards and we find she has not carried her burden."
In light of this, Lindell commented Monday that Peters "and the whole group" are being persecuted by the state, specifically Griswold, who previously sued Peters over the data breach and successfully had her election duties stripped ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.
