Trump's voter fraud focus meets his push to free Tina Peters

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's nine-thirty Eastern, this is The Pile-On: Late, and tonight Donald Trump is focused on voter fraud while having worked to free a woman convicted in an election interference case.

2. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorTina Peters, a former Mesa County election official, was sentenced to nine years and served less than a quarter of that.

3. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorGovernor Polis commuted the sentence on May fifteenth, and she walked out on June first.

4. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorOkay, but a person got out of prison and a lot of folks are happy. Who do we thank for that, Hank?

5. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTrump called the man who signed it a sleazebag governor and a weak and pathetic man. He was still praising Peters.

6. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSleazebag?

7. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHis pardon had no legal effect, because the convictions were state charges.

8. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA federal pardon for a state crime is a strongly worded letter to the wrong building.

9. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorCan I just say, Polis did the actual paperwork, and the thank-you went to a post. I'd want a card, Gloria. A little card.

10. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHer attorney said, quote, if it weren't for Donald Trump, she'd still be behind bars. Polis says he was shocked it approached nine years.

11. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorAnd her convictions remain in place. She is free, still convicted, and the governor who freed her is the one being insulted. That is statecraft.

12. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo the only person who got a card is the one who didn't open the door.

13. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorVerdict: everyone talked, nobody thanked the right man. The Pile-On: Late is back same time tomorrow.
