On Wednesday, The Gateway Pundit shared this article from JoeHoft.com about how an Obama Judge denied Nevada Judge Michele Fiore a new trial. Fiori was targeted because of her actions during the Bundy Ranch Standoff years ago.
On Thursday, Judge Fiore was pardoned by President Trump after he reportedly read this article.
PUBLIC STATEMENT FROM JUDGE MICHELE FIORE
“No weapon formed against me shall prosper.” — Isaiah 54:17
Today, I stand before you — not just as a free woman, but as a vindicated soul whose prayers were heard, whose faith held firm, and whose truth could not be buried by injustice.
I am deeply and eternally grateful to President Donald J. Trump for granting me a full and unconditional pardon. This act of mercy is not just a correction of a legal record — it is the restoration of a life, a reputation, and a mission long targeted for destruction.
For nearly a decade, I endured relentless persecution by a federal machine determined to break me.
• Four failed investigations — a true COINTELPRO-style operation, where the DOJ, FBI, IRS, and select media outlets worked in concert to target and dismantle my life.
• Multiple grand juries convened — yet none could produce a bill of indictment for eight years.
• Two elite strike teams from Washington, D.C. were deployed with a clear objective: to destroy my name and credibility.
• A federal raid that invaded my home, desecrated my sanctuary, looted irreplaceable family heirlooms, and attempted to crush my spirit.
• Labeled a “domestic terrorist” — not once, but on both Level 1 and Level 2 threat assessments, without cause or justification.
• A 66-page affidavit used to justify the raid — so overreaching and absurd that it could have indicted a mouse being hand-fed cheese.
And through it all — I never stopped praying.
I meditated, I cried out, and I trusted in God’s justice. I told the media on day one of my trial: “No weapon formed against me shall prosper.” And now, on the other side of this storm, I declare it again — with deeper truth than ever before.
This wasn’t just legal warfare — it was personal. U.S. Attorney Steven Myhre made it clear he would not rest until I was behind bars. He pursued this vengeance for years, misusing the power of his office to fulfill a vendetta.
However Steve, I am not going to prison. I am preparing to return to the bench.
For nine months, I was suspended, seven without pay — a deliberate effort to break me, not just legally but financially.
But they underestimated one thing: I’ve never been afraid to start over.
So, I simplified. I sold almost everything I owned — not out of defeat, but out of determination. Every piece I let go of was a step closer to keeping the lights on, paying the bills, and proving that no matter how hard they tried to strip me down, they could never strip away my grit.
They tried to bankrupt me. I chose to break free. And I did it with dignity, not debt.
I didn’t just survive their suspension — I turned it into a spiritual cleanse. What they meant for harm, I used to clear the clutter and make room for purpose.
On Monday, I will walk back into my courtroom as the elected Justice of the Peace — not because man permitted it, but because God ordained it.
To those who weaponized the justice system against me: I don’t need to return fire. The truth already has.To my supporters who never stopped believing: this victory is yours too. Thank you for all your prayers.And to every patriot, every mother, every woman who has been falsely accused — let this moment be your reminder: We don’t break. We rise.
And for those who think my weapon of choice is a firearm — let me be clear: my greatest weapon has always been God, not guns. Faith is what carried me through. The firearms? Just practical tools for the occasional rattlesnake — the literal and the metaphorical kind.
May this chapter be a testimony that grace always wins, that truth always survives, and that freedom — no matter how delayed — is worth the fight.
To those who stood by me, thank you.To those who tried to bury me — I am still standing.To every person facing injustice: Don’t break. Rise.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. God bless America, and God bless every soul still waiting for justice. Hold the line. Your day is coming too.
Refined by Fire,
Michele Fiore
