AG Pam Bondi Sides With Biden Regime, Seeks Dismissal of Proud Boys' J6 Lawsuit
[GatewayPundit] AG Pam Bondi Sides With Biden Regime, Seeks Dismissal of Proud Boys’ J6 Lawsuit — Insists Claims of Political Persecution ’Lack Merit’ Despite Reams of Evidence Reported at The Gateway Pundit

Attorney General Pam Bondi is seeking to dismiss a $100 million lawsuit filed by the Proud Boys over the political persecution they suffered in the wake of the January 6th protests.

In a court submission on Monday, the Department of Justice (DOJ) asked for the lawsuit to be dismissed, stating that "the malicious prosecution claim lacks merit; and the United States is not liable for punitive damages."

The filing undercuts the argument long supported by the Trump administration that those who were imprisoned following the January 6th attacks were the victims of political persecution.

The suit was filed in June by Enrique Tarrio, the former Proud Boys leader, along with Joseph Biggs, Ethan Nordean, Zachary Rehl, and Dominic Pezzola.

Their lawsuit argues that their prosecutions were "an egregious and systemic abuse of the legal system and the United States Constitution to punish and oppress political allies of President Trump, by any and all means necessary, legal, or illegal."

Despite President Trump’s decision to offer an unconditional pardon to all involved, it appears that Pam Bondi and the Justice Department do not agree that they were victims of the Biden regime.

The Gateway Pundit was one of a few media outlets that led the way in reporting on the extensive abuse and even torture of January 6th protesters and their families, which was carried out in a systematic campaign of political persecution by Joe Biden and his Democratic allies in the Department of Justice.

Of course, this ruling comes as a shock to those who followed the Proud Boys "trial of the century" coverage at The Gateway Pundit.

The US Government set up the Proud Boys with bogus charges, used a witness who lied numerous times under oath to save his skin, and the feds even planted evidence in the Proud Boys’ social media hangout.

In their filing, the DOJ claimed that plaintiffs had failed to show any evidence that investigators or prosecutors "relied on knowingly false or fabricated evidence to initiate" their cases.

"It defies ’judicial experience and common sense’ to believe that Plaintiffs cannot make more specific allegations at this stage about what evidence was false, fabricated, or wrongfully withheld as part of their prosecution," they wrote.

The DOJ also emphasized that a federal court had already reviewed the charges at detention hearings and determined that the "weight of the evidence is strong."

Prosecutors pointed to "incontrovertible photo evidence of Nordean, Biggs, and Rehl inside the Capitol building," material used "to support their arrests and detentions."

"And while Tarrio was not at the Capitol on that day and the district court found there was no ’smoking gun,’ the court considered Tarrio’s contrary arguments and still found the evidence of his involvement in a seditious conspiracy to be ’very strong.’"

It will now be up to a federal judge to determine whether the lawsuit can move forward.

How the hell is this Epstein cover up moron helping our nation? Question is, does the President have the cajones to get rid of her or will he make the tragic error that he made with Barr and Co?

#1 There is strong evidence of Tarrio’s participation in a conspiracy that didn’t exist. Even if this lawsuit is dismissed, it will just be refiled as once the Grand Conspiracy case gets to J6. Bondi will end up with an internal contradiction.
