12. The only possible defense for Polis

is that krasnnov was blackmailing his state by withholding something Colorado desperately needs. IIRC there was something to do with water—funds for a treatment plant or something like that—which krasnov was withholding because peters (who is a longtime fraudster and thoroughly despicable human being) was still locked up.

I’m not defending Polis and unsure whether in fact there was a better reason behind his doing what krasnov wants but if something like this is behind his actions at least it’s more understandable. 🤷‍♀️
