Earlier this month, MyPillow CEO and prominent conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell held a cyber symposium to further amplify his fantasy that the 2020 election was stolen. After promising irrefutable proof of election fraud would be revealed at the symposium, Lindell—once again—failed to deliver.
A prominent speaker among the litany of disinformation peddlers was Mesa County, Colorado elections official Tina Peters.
Peters, an emphatic supporter of former President Donald Trump, sent secretly recorded video and election data to Ron Watkins, the 8kun administrator whom many believe was secretly the "Q" of QAnon. The low-quality video shows Peters asking questions to a Dominion Voting Systems employee in an attempt to vindicate her election fraud fantasies.
If that breach wasn't bad enough, Watkins shared the materials to his followers without redacting Peters' password to the election system's basic input/output system (BIOS) motherboard.
Now, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has announced it's working with the Colorado District Attorney to investigate the catastrophic data breach. Colorado's Secretary of State attempted to coordinate an inspection of Mesa County's elections equipment to determine the level it was compromised, but Peters was on Lindell's private jet, according to Vice News.
Vice further reported that Lindell is now hiding Peters in an undisclosed safehouse, claiming his interest is in protecting her safety and not to escape questioning from the Bureau.
Social media users are crying foul.
Why do they get to hide Kyle Rittenhouse and Tina Peters from the law? Why are the people doing this not in jail? So, we just dont have to follow the law and there is no consequences from here on out? Where the fuck are the bench warrants?https://twitter.com/JenAFifield/status/1428427045831274496\u00a0\u2026— Dusty \u2604\ufe0f (@Dusty \u2604\ufe0f) 1629409324

While everything the pillow guy does these days is no longer surprising in the least, each new event seems more "stunning" than the last.https://twitter.com/JenAFifield/status/1428427045831274496\u00a0\u2026— Old Sailor: Stand up fo Biden/Harris and America.

Sounds like conspiracy to commit obstruction of justice.https://twitter.com/JenAFifield/status/1428427045831274496\u00a0\u2026— The Office of Marc Graham (@The Office of Marc Graham) 1629400026
If he's hiding someone from the FBI that's probably a crime. Won't be long before this tool is indicted for something, if not this.https://twitter.com/JenAFifield/status/1428427045831274496\u00a0\u2026— ml8_ml8 (@ml8_ml8) 1629400018
Given Lindell's constant ineptitude, people don't expect the effort to be successful.
If you ever find yourself relying on the MyPillow guy to hide you from the FBI, you should probably assume that every single life choice you ever made was a huge mistake.https://twitter.com/JenAFifield/status/1428427045831274496\u00a0\u2026— Grace Bannasch (@Grace Bannasch) 1629399039
All they have to do is look for the MyPillow fort in Mike Lindell\u2019s backyard.https://twitter.com/jenafifield/status/1428427045831274496\u00a0\u2026— \ud83d\udc80 Scary Larry \ud83d\udc80 \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\udf0a\u270a\ud83c\udffb\ud83d\uddfd (@\ud83d\udc80 Scary Larry \ud83d\udc80 \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\udf0a\u270a\ud83c\udffb\ud83d\uddfd) 1629406642

Mike Lindell doesn't have OpSec, will end up blurting out her location, blood type, SSN, and size of the corn kernels in her poop during a live streamhttps://www.vice.com/en/article/dyvjwa/mike-lindell-is-hiding-an-alleged-election-data-leaker-as-fbi-open-investigation\u00a0\u2026— zedster (@zedster) 1629401831
Lindell continues to falsely insist the election was stolen.
