Silencing the Watchdogs:
Colorado Commission on Judicial Discipline, the legislative investigators, and other critics.

Press reports reveal that the Colorado Supreme Court obstructed and delayed the investigation of the judicial ethics watchdog through 2021 and 2022.  

An office of the Supreme Court was complicit in creating false evidence which was used to indict the chairman of the legislative committee investigating corruption at the Court. A judge later dismissed that indictment.
 
As the delayed investigation neared its end, the press reported that the watchdog members faced intimidation tactics in the spring of 2023.  
 
Shortly after the commission disciplined the former chief justice, many of the watchdog's members were removed.

The new commission members then fired the executive director who had been involved in disciplining the chief justice.
