White House Email Sparks Colorado Retaliation Case | Denver News

Colorado’s lawsuit against the Trump administration just hit a major milestone: a newly surfaced White House email, dubbed a “smoking gun,” allegedly shows top-level coordination to retaliate against the state. Sent December 15th, it ordered federal agencies to prepare for “immediate actions” against Colorado—just days after failed pardon attempts for former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters. The state’s legal team claims this proves unconstitutional punishment for Colorado’s election policies and prosecution of Peters. In the following week, Colorado faced sweeping attacks: funding cuts, dismantling of a key research center, and denied disaster relief. Though the DOJ claimed executive offices are shielded from discovery, the judge sided with Colorado, ordering more records to be released. With mounting evidence, the case is accelerating toward a potentially explosive revelation. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
