In a shocking clip from LindellTV (above), White House correspondent Cara Castronuova laid bare the betrayal unfolding within President Trump’s own Department of Justice. Standing outside the White House, Castronuova blasted the DOJ’s motion to dismiss the $100 million lawsuit filed by Proud Boys leaders Enrique Tarrio, Joseph Biggs, Ethan Nordean, Zachary Rehl, and Dominic Pezzola. “The Department claims there was ‘no misconduct,'” she said, her voice dripping with disbelief. But as she named names—DOJ attorney Siegmund F. Fuchs, FBI agent Nicole Miller, and prosecutor Joselyn Ballantine—Castronuova exposed the ugly truth: entrenched bureaucrats are undermining Trump’s America First agenda, protecting the Biden regime’s weaponized prosecutions of January 6 patriots. This isn’t justice; it’s Deep State sabotage, and it’s happening on Trump’s watch, proving the swamp is far from drained. The lawsuit, filed in June 2025 in Florida’s federal court, sought accountability for what the Proud Boys called an “egregious and systemic abuse of the legal system” to “punish and oppress political allies of President Trump.”

These men, convicted in 2023 of seditious conspiracy for their role in the January 6 protest against the stolen 2020 election, were pardoned or had sentences commuted by Trump in January 2025. Yet, they alleged warrantless raids, monitored attorney communications, and the use of informants—classic Deep State tactics to crush dissent. The suit targeted the DOJ, FBI Agent Nicole Miller, and unnamed officials, demanding $100 million for malicious prosecution and constitutional violations. Fast forward to August 26, 2025, and Trump’s DOJ—led by Attorney General Pam Bondi—filed a motion to dismiss, siding squarely with the Biden-era persecutors. The filing, penned by DOJ lawyers including Fuchs, Shumate, and D’Alessio, arrogantly declared the claims “lack merit,” insisting there’s no evidence of “knowingly false or fabricated evidence” used in the prosecutions. They invoked sovereign immunity, arguing the U.S. can’t be sued for constitutional claims, and cited the Supreme Court’s Heck v. Humphrey, saying you can’t seek damages unless convictions are overturned—conveniently ignoring Trump’s pardons as a repudiation of those sham trials.

The motion even boasted about “incontrovertible photo evidence” and court findings of “strong” evidence, as if that erases the reams of proof showing FBI coercion and lies. But the facts scream otherwise, as conservative outlets like The Gateway Pundit have relentlessly documented. Take Jeremy Bertino, the DOJ’s star witness against the Proud Boys. In a bombshell affidavit, Bertino recanted, admitting the FBI threatened him with 25 years unless he lied on the stand. He fingered Agent Nicole Miller—still employed at the FBI—for coaching perjury in off-the-record meetings. This isn’t speculation; it’s sworn testimony exposing how Biden’s DOJ fabricated cases to link the Proud Boys to Trump, paving the way for his own seditious conspiracy indictment. Experts cited in conservative reports argue the convictions were never about justice but creating a “direct link” to Trump for political takedown. Worse, The Gateway Pundit revealed FBI plants in Proud Boys chats, like Samuel Armes, groomed by CIA and FBI, who authored the “1776 Returns” document used to frame them.

Gateway Pundit slammed Bondi for “siding with the Biden regime,” warning it sets a precedent where the DOJ can persecute conservatives without consequence. Fox News, in covering the original suit, noted the Proud Boys’ claims of “illegal tactics,” including informants and monitored calls—abuses now whitewashed by Trump’s own team. This isn’t isolated. J6 detainees have endured “gut-wrenching” pleas from “DC Gitmo,” detailing torture and abuse under Biden, yet the rot persists. Trump’s pardons were a start, but without purging holdouts like Miller and Ballantine, the Deep State thrives. As one expert told LindellTV, the Proud Boys convictions aimed to “create a direct link to President Trump,” fueling his indictments.
