Democratic Gov. Jared Polis appears to be dangling clemency for an ally of President Donald Trump's who is currently serving a nine-year prison sentence for election-related crimes.

Polis said on Wednesday that Tina Peters, a convicted felon and former Colorado county clerk, must show "contrition and apologize for her actions" if he is going to commute her sentence, journalist Kyle Clark with 9News reported. That led Clark to question whether Peters could have her sentence commuted if she faked an apology, and it appears that the answer is yes, he said on Thursday.

"Gov. Polis told me that contrition and an apology are a must for Tina Peters to receive clemency," Clark posted on X. "He knows she isn't at all remorseful. What if she was willing to fake it? It appears he'd gladly free her. But based on all I know about Tina Peters, I don't think she'd fake remorse."

During her sentencing, 21st Judicial District Judge Matthew Barrett cited Peters' lack of remorse when he handed down her nine-year sentence. Barrett also called her a "charlatan" and a snake oil salesman who did "immeasurable damage" to the state's election system, Colorado Newsline reported.

Peters' lawyer, Peter Ticktin, told ABC News that he expects a clemency to be handed down any day.

"I don't think it's going to even go into next week," he said.

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

The post Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Google has announced the launch of a new open-source protocol called Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) in partnership with Coinbase, the Ethereum Foundation, and 60 other organizations. This allows AI agents to make payments on behalf of users using various methods such as real-time bank transfers, credit and debit cards, and, most importantly, stablecoins. Let’s explore in detail what this could mean for the broader cryptocurrency markets, and also highlight a presale crypto (Best Wallet Token) that could explode as a result of this development. Google’s Push for Stablecoins Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) uses digital contracts known as ‘Intent Mandates’ and ‘Verifiable Credentials’ to ensure that AI agents undertake only those payments authorized by the user. Mandates, by the way, are cryptographically signed, tamper-proof digital contracts that act as verifiable proof of a user’s instruction. For example, let’s say you instruct an AI agent to never spend more than $200 in a single transaction. This instruction is written into an Intent Mandate, which serves as a digital contract. Now, whenever the AI agent tries to make a payment, it must present this mandate as proof of authorization, which will then be verified via the AP2 protocol. Alongside this, Google has also launched the A2A x402 extension to accelerate support for the Web3 ecosystem. This production-ready solution enables agent-based crypto payments and will help reshape the growth of cryptocurrency integration within the AP2 protocol. Google’s inclusion of stablecoins in AP2 is a massive vote of confidence in dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies and a huge step toward making them a mainstream payment option. This widens stablecoin usage beyond trading and speculation, positioning them at the center of the consumption economy. The recent enactment of the GENIUS Act in the U.S. gives stablecoins more structure and legal support. Imagine paying for things like data crawls, per-task…
