Colorado Gov. Jared Polis on Tina Peters case: "You can't give the president the headspace on this"

idk why Polis is being so cautious... i mean, he's got a right to make his own decision, but at the same time, he's trying to be all objective and stuff... like, can't he just let his personal feelings guide him for once? and what's with this whole 'separating personal opinions from facts' thing... doesn't that just sound like a cop-out? maybe Polis is just being too careful because he's worried about getting flamed on the internet or something... anyway, i guess we'll just have to wait and see how it all plays out...

I don't get why Polis is being so cautious about this... like, come on, it's not like she's innocent or anything! I mean, seven state charges and a conviction? That's some serious stuff. And now Trump just goes around granting pardons left and right without even knowing the facts of the case. It's all about politics and PR, if you ask me . Polis is just trying to stick it out and do what's right, but at the end of the day, it feels like he's just caught in a web of controversy . What's his real motive here? Is he really gonna grant her clemency or just play it safe?
