In Nevada, a conservative titan has been brought low—not by the voters who’ve backed her time and again, but by a federal machine determined to crush dissent. Michele Fiore, a former Las Vegas city councilwoman, judge, and fierce defender of individual liberty, was recently convicted of wire fraud and conspiracy charges. The mainstream media paints her as a corrupt official who siphoned funds meant for a fallen officer’s memorial. But peel back the layers, and you’ll find a story that stretches far beyond this single case—a tale of a woman targeted by overzealous prosecutors, a trial riddled with fabricated evidence, and a conviction that defies justice. This is Michele Fiore’s fight, and it’s one every patriot should rally behind.
Fiore’s clash with the feds isn’t new. A well-respected figure who’s won numerous elections, she’s long been a natural enemy of Nevada’s Democratic elites. Her unapologetic stands on Second Amendment rights, law enforcement, and limited government have made her a conservative icon—and a lightning rod for the liberal “idiot class,” as she calls it. The latest chapter began with her fundraising for a statue honoring slain Metropolitan Police Department officer Alyn Beck. Prosecutors claim she raised over $70,000 and diverted it for personal use—rent, plastic surgery, her daughter’s wedding. But Fiore fires back: “They created this case, no evidence, no money in my accounts—just what they’re calling circumstantial bullshit!” Her legal team, in a February 10, 2025, motion for a new trial, alleges the financial records were manipulated, witnesses coerced, and exculpatory testimony buried.
The trial, Fiore says, was a farce from the start. Her daughter, Sheena Siegel, was set to testify in her defense, only to have her words struck down on dubious perjury charges—a move her initial attorney, Michael Sanft, labeled “prosecutorial intimidation.” U.S. District Judge Jennifer Dorsey, an Obama appointee, presided over what Fiore calls a rigged game, where every defense was squashed. “They had their verdict ready before I walked in,” she told supporters after her October 2024 guilty verdict. Her current attorneys, Paola Armeni and Gia N. Marina, argue the government twisted a political action committee’s records into a crime, making Fiore a scapegoat for a system that despises her principles.
But the roots of this vendetta run deeper, and they lead straight to Steven Myhre, a former U.S. Attorney and a key figure in what Fiore calls a “corrupt operation” to destroy her. Myhre, once the No. 2 prosecutor in Nevada’s U.S. Attorney’s Office, has a history of his own. In 2014, Chief U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro slammed him for “flagrant misconduct” in the Bundy standoff case, accusing him of illegally hiding evidence that could’ve undermined his prosecution. Myhre’s career took another hit when the EEOC ordered him, his boss, and others in his office to undergo anti-sex discrimination training after a female prosecutor won a $287,998 judgment for legal fees, costs, and damages.
This is the man, Fiore alleges, who spearheaded her downfall. “This wasn’t about justice—it was about power and control,” she said. “The moment I stood up to federal corruption, exposed prosecutorial misconduct, and refused to back down, Steven Myhre and his allies in the DOJ, FBI, media, and IRS marked me as a target. They weaponized lawfare to silence dissent—intimidation, endless investigations, and when they couldn’t find a crime, they invented one.”
Fiore’s no shrinking violet, and they know it. She claims Myhre’s crew twisted facts, manipulated grand juries, silenced witnesses like Siegel, and buried evidence—all to muzzle a loud, unapologetic conservative voice. “It started with one event that triggered their ire,” she says, pointing to her history of challenging the establishment. Now, with sentencing on the horizon, President Donald Trump must step in. Trump, who’s faced his own barrage of politically charged prosecutions, should see Fiore’s case for what it is: a deep-state hit job. He should either pardon her outright or order the DOJ to probe Myhre’s tactics and the prosecution’s playbook before she’s sentenced. Was evidence fabricated? Were witnesses bullied? If Trump lets this slide, it’s open season on every conservative who dares speak out.
The pattern is undeniable. From Trump’s legal woes to selective targeting of Republican voices, the federal government wields its power like a cudgel. Fiore’s attorneys argue the wire fraud charges were a stretch, a vague law bent to fit a political agenda. Her motion for a new trial is her latest stand against what she calls “a corrupt machine,” demanding a fair shot to clear her name. “I’m fighting for every American they’ve tried to destroy,” she declared. “If they can do this to me, no one’s safe.”
The truth may be tangled—financial trails can be spun, and witness accounts shift—but Michele Fiore’s conviction smells of a setup. Was this justice, or a power grab by prosecutors like Myhre, drunk on control? Did they manufacture a villain to silence a hero? As her fate teeters, President Trump has a chance to prove he’s serious about draining the swamp. Fiore believes she’s a martyr for freedom, betrayed by the system she swore to reform. Her fight is ours—and it’s time we demanded justice.
