To be fair and balanced, we'll begin with the response from the Administration celebrated for its probity and transparency. 


A spokeswoman for the White House denied that the email had anything to do with Ms. Peters and declined to comment further on the record. She referred questions about the Colorado grants to the Office of Management and Budget, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment.


Got that everyone?

Here are the objective facts....or as Jessie Watters might put it "the other side of the story...

As President Trump fumed late last year over Colorado’s imprisonment of Tina Peters, a convicted election denier, a White House special assistant organized an urgent “brainstorm call.”

The goal, outlined in an email sent to officials at five federal agencies, was to “prioritize Colorado for the purposes of ensuring grants and federal support are in line with administration priorities,” the assistant, Emily Underwood, wrote on Dec. 15.

“Please come prepared to discuss immediate actions that your department or agency can take with respect to Colorado,” Ms. Underwood added.

The next day, the Department of Transportation and the Department of Energy, whose representatives were invited to the brainstorm, announced they were canceling hundreds of millions of dollars in federal grants for Colorado projects.
