On Wednesday, highlighted an article from JoeHoft.com detailing how Judge Michele Fiore of Nevada was denied a new trial by a judge appointed during the Obama administration. This denial stems from her controversial actions during the Bundy Ranch Standoff several years ago.
Just a day later, in a twist that could only be scripted in contemporary American politics, President Trump granted Judge Fiore a pardon, reportedly influenced by the article’s contents.
PUBLIC STATEMENT FROM JUDGE MICHELE FIORE
“No weapon formed against me shall prosper.” — Isaiah 54:17
Today, I address you not merely as a liberated individual, but as a soul restored; a testament to the power of faith and perseverance against systemic injustice. My heartfelt gratitude extends to President Donald J. Trump for his full and unconditional pardon. This act is more than a mere legal rectification; it represents the reclamation of my life, my name, and my purpose, which have been under siege.
For nearly a decade, I faced a relentless campaign of persecution from a federal apparatus intent on dismantling my existence.
• Four botched investigations — reminiscent of a COINTELPRO operation, where the DOJ, FBI, IRS, and select media colluded to target my very being.
• Multiple grand juries convened without producing a single indictment over eight long years.
• Two elite teams dispatched from Washington, D.C., with the explicit mission of annihilating my reputation.
• A federal raid that violated my home, looted irreplaceable family treasures, and aimed to shatter my spirit.
• Labelled as a “domestic terrorist” not once, but twice, based on unfounded assessments.
• A 66-page affidavit justifying the raid that was so exaggerated it could indict a mouse nibbling on cheese.
And through each of these trials, I remained steadfast in my prayers.
I sought solace in meditation, cried out for justice, and trusted in divine retribution. I told the media on day one of my trial: “No weapon formed against me shall prosper,” and now, emerging from this tempest, I declare it anew—with profound conviction.
This ordeal was not merely about legalities; it was profoundly personal. U.S. Attorney Steven Myhre made it his mission to see me imprisoned, wielding his authority as a weapon of vengeance.
But Steve, I am not heading to prison. Instead, I am preparing to reclaim my position on the bench.
After nine months of suspension—seven of which were without pay—this was not merely a legal maneuver but a calculated effort to break me financially and emotionally.
They underestimated one truth: I have never shied away from starting anew.
Thus, I simplified my life. I sold nearly everything I owned—not out of surrender, but out of sheer determination. Each item relinquished brought me closer to sustaining my life, paying my bills, and proving that while they may strip away my possessions, they could never extinguish my spirit.
They aimed to bankrupt me; I chose to liberate myself. And I achieved this with dignity, not debt.
I didn’t just endure their suspension; I transformed it into a spiritual rejuvenation. What they intended for harm, I utilized to clear the clutter of my life and create space for purpose.
On Monday, I will return to the courtroom as the elected Justice of the Peace—not by human permission, but through divine ordination.
To those who weaponized the judicial system against me: I won’t retaliate; the truth has already spoken. To my steadfast supporters: this victory is yours as well. Thank you for your unwavering prayers. And to every patriot, every mother, every woman wrongfully accused—let this moment serve as your reminder: we do not succumb; we rise.
And for those who imagine my weapon of choice is a firearm—let me clarify: my most potent weapon has always been my faith, not firearms. That faith is what sustained me through my trials. The firearms? Merely practical tools for the occasional rattlesnake—both literal and metaphorical.
May this chapter stand as a testament that grace ultimately prevails, that truth endures, and that freedom—regardless of how delayed—is worth the battle.
To all who supported me, I thank you. To those who sought to bury me—I remain unbroken. To everyone facing injustice: do not falter. Rise.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. God bless America, and may God bless all souls still awaiting justice. Hold the line. Your moment is approaching.
Refined by Fire,
Michele Fiore
