OPINION: BY SA BARKET

I’ve heard recently that Anthony D’Anna (aka “Tony,” aka “Nino”) has been bragging that he’s untouchable because of his relationship with current interim US Attorney for the District of Nevada Sigal Chattah.

This boasting by Tony about his being untouchable comes on the heels of the recent news of one of Sigal Chattah’s closest legal and political colleagues, Michele Fiore, being granted a full pardon by President Trump.

Makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Makes you wonder about the connection between Michele Fiore (who’s actually been nicknamed, “Lady Trump”), Sigal Chattah and President Trump. Like, I wonder how Michele Fiore’s pardon happened so fast for a state-level Republican politician to have gotten a pardon just days after her conviction? And even before her sentencing? Could have been 140 years, or could have been a relative slap on the wrist. We’ll never know now.

Makes you wonder, did Sigal Chattah have a role in Fiore’s pardon. You don’t have to be smacked in the face with a 2×4 to come up with the possibility of that connection. How did Fiore get a pardon with such a convincing conviction with such blatant disregard for the law? The financial evidence and court documents brought forward by the prosecuting federal attorneys (hello, Sigal Chattah) speak for themselves.

And one last question: Are you sure about this one, President Trump, any second thoughts about this pardon?

Michele Fiore was previously a city councilwoman and was a Justice of the Peace before being suspended July 24, 2024 when she was charged with, subsequently tried for, and convicted of six counts of federal wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. These charges were in connection with Fiore using money raised to be used for a statue honoring a slain police officer on personal expenses, including plastic surgery and her daughter’s wedding.

Fiore and Chattah are closely connected, both through their legal profession as well as a sisterhood (my word, my opinion) through Nevada Republican politics as leaders for that party in the state.

Let me be clear, I am a “Superfan” with a capital “S” of President Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel. I am not, however any sort of fan of Chattah’s installment as interim US Attorney for the District of Nevada. I don’t understand her appointment, nor do I understand the pardon of Michele Fiore before she even was sentenced after her conviction on all seven counts.

Bad, bad choice, in my opinion, of Chattah to serve even as an interim appointment in that role. A choice made, I believe, because of a lack of all the information to be had related to Chattah (much of which can be found in the many posts and pages published on this website).

President Trump, AG Bondi, Director Patel; please take note.

Thank you.
