Sigal Chattah still listed as Nevada GOP National Chairwoman – Screenshot taken @ 2:42 PM, Wednesday, April 17, 2025, fully one week after she had told a radio host she had stepped away from that role.

BY SA BARKET

Sigal Chattah, as previously noted, has been the National Chairwoman for the Nevada GOP. It’s a political position that, according to our understanding of the Hatch Act, she should not have, because it conflicts with her current appointment as the interim US Attorney for the District of Nevada, which is supposed to be a federal non-partisan, neutral role.

As previously reported (Sigal Chattah’s Motivation) Sigal Chattah has remained as Nevada’s Republican National Committeewoman after being sworn in as the US Attorney for the District of Nevada, in possible violation of the Hatch Act.

However, Chattah appeared on conservative radio talk show host Kevin Wall’s broadcast on April 10 (KMZQ 670AM, Kevin Wall Radio 4/10/2025)— 7 days ago — and said that she basically “walked away” from her “whole former life” to accept the interim appointment as US Attorney for the District of Nevada. She said that included her private law practice and her role as National Chairwoman for the Nevada GOP.

Well, Sigal, how do you explain the fact that you still are listed among the Nevada GOP leadership on the website (https://nevadagop.org/leadership/)? How do we know that you have “walked away” from the leadership role you have in the Nevada GOP?

The screenshot you see above was taken at 2:40 PM on April 17, 2025, fully one week after you said you had stepped away from your role there, yet there you are, still listed prominently among the GOP leadership.

What gives? You, legally, really can’t have it both ways. And you, as Nevada’s top law enforcement official, should know that better than anyone. You know what the Hatch Act is, and you know how seriously it is taken. Hedging your bets? One foot in each organization, just in case? Just in case the right people pay attention to what’s been detailed on this website and decide that you’re too much of a partisan hot potato?

You’re not fooling anyone, Sigal, especially the upper echelon politicos in your own party. And you know that. I guess you’re just choosing to ignore it? What’s really going on, Sigal? Is it your dismissive, arrogant personality rising to the surface? Inquiring minds want to know.

OPINION: By SA Barket

Sigal Chattah was named interim US Attorney for the District of Nevada and officially was sworn in to that interim appointment on Tuesday, April 1, 2025 — April Fools Day.

Call me fooled.

I received information about a dinner that was to be held just about a week after her interim appointment, on Monday, April 7, 2025 at Nicco’s Prime Cuts & Fresh Fish, a steakhouse in the Durango Casino and Resort. (See invitation above.)

The event was billed as a “Dinner Celebration Honoring SIGAL CHATTAH, Interim US Attorney for the District of Nevada.” And as “an evening of great company, fine dining, and well-deserved recognition.”

Well, as the Church Lady on Saturday Night Live was fond of saying, “Isn’t that special.”

Call me fooled because the event never took place. I heard it was called off for a couple reasons:

1. because the organizing group had gotten tepid responses for the $200 per plate dinner — seems as though there were not very many takers; and
2. because of the appearance of this event being an ill-conceived fund-raising event

Oops.

Even though the invite stated on the very bottom line: “This is not a fundraiser for Sigal Chattah or her office.” OK. If you say so.

I’m calling out this as a double tone-deaf Sigal Chattah entanglement. The two reasons?

1. The interim appointment of Sigal Chattah to be US Attorney for the District of Nevada will go down in the annals of political tone-deafness as perhaps the worst call so far by the Trump administration’s DOJ (yes, we’re looking at you Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel); and
2. How could you actually believe that anyone would think this was anything other than a fund-raising event, regardless of however it was labeled? I’m not sure whether it’s legal or illegal to do that, but it certainly is tasteless and crass at the very least.

(Yay! Hey, let’s have a $200 a plate dinner for someone who’s only an interim appointment to a federal office, and if they make it to a confirmation hearing will face withering opposition likely from both Democrats and Republicans. Just look around this website.)

But then, that’s Sigal Chattah for you — tasteless and crass (in my opinion).

The organizer of this non-event dinner was the Israeli-American Civic Action Network (ICAN) under the umbrella group known as IsraelUSA. (As a side note, I must say that I fully support this organization, being a Lebanese-Jew myself.)

Sigal Chattah was born in Israel and left there as a young teenager to come with her family to America. She’s been a pretty staunch advocate for Israel for her entire career. ICAN has supported Chattah’s interim appointment, even though she sent out a text that her Democratic opponent in her failed 2022 bid to become the next Nevada Attorney General should be, in her estimation, “… hanging from a f – – – ing crane.” Her opponent, the Democratic AG Aaron Ford, is a black man.

Again, my opinion: See what I mean about tasteless and crass?

Screen shot from: RawStory.com

I missed this one from months ago — a Sigal Chattah X post in which she calls then-Congressman Jamaal Bowman (D-Yonkers, NY) a “ghetto rat” and in a follow up post, a “hood rat.” (See: https://x.com/Chattah4Nevada/status/1805620413466394973)

Sigal, you win the award for the most distasteful, racist woman to have been installed as an interim US Attorney — unfortunately in my home state of Nevada.

Ok, granted, It’s Jamaal Bowman, not the most gentlemanly sort on Capitol Hill, and who  lost a re-election bid because of some of the ridiculous things he ranted about — but even X slapped a “Visibility limited: this Post may violate X’s rules against Hateful Conduct” label on this post of yours, Sigal.

We found this on RawStory.com (see image above). Read what they wrote up here: “Top Nevada Republican calls Black Democrat a ‘hood rat’ in ‘hateful’ social rant.” (RawStory writeup here: https://www.rawstory.com/sigal-chattah-rnc/)

You have no filter, do you? You think you can blurt out whatever thought enters your head without consequence, don’t you? We’ll see about that. We’ll see how far you get in your confirmation hearings before the US Senate Judiciary Committee.

Good luck with all that. In the meantime, we’ll just keep piling up fodder for them to use at the hearing.

US Senate Judiciary Committee (click on image to see larger)

Are you ready, Sigal Chattah?

Are you ready to face the withering questions and examination that you’ll get from these members who make up the US Senate Judiciary Committee — questions that will likely come from both the Majority Members (Republicans) as well as the Minority Members (Democrats)?

Are you ready to face them and answer to the questionable judgment and relationships we’ve documented here? (And by the way, there’s more to come.)

You will not be shepherded through this process by your Nevada Senators, who both have attacked your interim appointment as the US Attorney for the District of Nevada.

Here’s what Nevada Senator Jacky Rosen (D) said about your interim appointment:

“Nevada needs a U.S. Attorney who will uphold and enforce the law fairly and equally. Sigal Chattah is an extremist who is deeply unfit for this role,” said Senator Rosen. “Chattah’s disturbing past statements promising to use any public office to go after her political opponents, as well as her well-documented history of racist remarks, conspiracy theories, and threats of violence, prove that she cannot be trusted with this important responsibility. If she’s ever nominated to a permanent Senate-confirmed position, I’ll do everything in my power to block her confirmation.”

Here’s what Nevada Senator Catharine Cortez Masto (D) said about your interim appointment:

“Sigal Chattah said our Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford should be hanged from a crane. She is an election denier who has advocated for political violence, suggested she would target her political enemies, and offered full support to many of President Trump’s blatantly illegal actions in office. U.S. Attorneys should be professionals who stand against corruption, serve as agents for justice, and understand that no one is above the law.
“President Trump is abusing his power and bypassing Congress to insert a partisan political operative into this position because he knows Nevada’s Senators will not support her. U.S. Attorneys work for the American people, and it has been a tradition for every new administration – including during President Trump’s first term – to work with Nevada Senators to nominate and appoint a qualified candidate. By law, this appointment can only last 120 days. To all the dedicated public servants working in the District of Nevada, I will continue to support you and will fight to make sure we confirm a U.S. Attorney with integrity and a commitment to the rule of law.”

Ouch.

So it’s a big strikeout on sponsorship from Senators from your home state. Maybe you’ll say that’s to be expected. They’re both lefty Democrats. It’s partisan.

However, I hear that even those on the right — especially the Senator who you might expect to be your sponsor as you begin this confirmation process, Mike Lee (R) from Utah, is distancing himself from you. Senator Lee also happens to be among the Majority Members on the Senate panel.

It’s my opinion that anyone reading this blog would have cause for concern about your permanent appointment to that position. The search for a more appropriate person to become the new US Attorney for the District of Nevada is very likely underway. I can think of at least a half dozen more qualified people to be placed in that position full time.

I imagine this upcoming confirmation process for you might feel something like being trapped in a big vise, unable to escape and feeling the clamps getting tighter and tighter and tighter as you’re unable to squirm away.

Yes, you have an ally in FBI Director Kash Patel — for now. But how long will that last given the documentation we’ve produced here about how unfit you are to assume this office as the Trump Administration permanent appointment to the office of US Attorney for the District of Nevada?

Enjoy your interim appointment, Sigal. That’s likely all this ever will amount to; perhaps a notch on your resume or a line item on your Linkedin profile.

I can’t tell if it’s incompetence, negligence, or dismissiveness, but Sigal Chattah made a bad move over this past weekend.

Hats off to the Nevada Independent for their reporting on this; they scored a coup. The Nevada Indy’s headline: Sigal Chattah blurs conflict of interest lines by continuing political activity as new U.S. attorney

In a seemingly direct violation of the Hatch Act, which prohibits civil-service employees in the executive branch of the federal government (such as an interim US Attorney for the District of Nevada like Sigal Chattah), except the President and Vice President, from engaging in some forms of political activity, Sigal Chattah reportedly has continued to carry on in her position as Nevada’s Republican National Committeewoman.

According to the Nevada Independent’s reporting, Sigal Chattah was “introduced virtually at a state party meeting Saturday, potentially violating Department of Justice rules against its employees participating in political activities.”

The US Office of Special Counsel offers this overview of the Hatch Act: it is a federal law that,

“limits certain political activities of federal employees … to ensure that federal programs are administered in a nonpartisan fashion, to protect federal employees from political coercion in the workplace, and to ensure that federal employees are advanced based on merit and not based on political affiliation.”

How serious is a Hatch Act violation (which has been in place since 1939)? To quote from the US Office of Special Counsel guidelines: “An employee who violates the Hatch Act is subject to a range of disciplinary actions, including:

• Removal from Federal Service: termination of employment
• Debarment from Federal Employment: ineligibility for future federal jobs for a period of up to 5 years
• Suspension: temporary removal from duty without pay.Reprimand: A formal warning or censure
• Reduction in Grade: lowering an employee’s position and salary
• Civil Penalty: a fine, not to exceed $1,000

Pretty serious consequences.

Sigal Chattah’s re-post of FBI Director Kash Patel’s post on X.

By SA Barket

I realize by launching this website, I have immediately placed a target on my back.

But this is the era of truth telling, right?

This is the era where censorship and shutdowns are not supposed to happen just because you’re telling the truth.

That’s all I’m doing here. I’m just shining a light into the darkest corners of Sigal Chattah’s life so that everyone can see her for who she really is.

I proudly voted for Donald J. Trump as President in 2024. In the 2022 midterms, I voted for a remarkable man, who is now Nevada’s Governor, Joe Lombardo. I also voted for Democrat Aaron Ford. I grew up with a very strong mother and father, who were Lebanese and Jewish. As my mother, until she passed away more than 24 years ago, always told me, it’s not about Republican or Democrat, it’s about voting for the best person for the job.

It was announced (by the Nevada Republican party, not the White House, which is interesting in and of itself) that Sigal Chattah is the Trump Administration pick to be, for now, the interim US Attorney for the District of Nevada.

This, in my opinion, cannot stand.

I urge you to read this website thoroughly. It won’t take that much time. But you’ll have a much better idea of Sigal Chattah’s lack of morals, ethics, integrity, discernment, judgment and character.

FBI Director Kash Patel, take note: We all have friends & colleagues, but we can’t know everything about them. According to Sigal Chattah, you two are fast friends. But you don’t know everything about her, Mr. Patel, at least not some of the connections I’ve raised here, on this website. That’s OK. That’s not your fault. There’s a reason there is an interim stage for appointments such as this. Appropriately so.

I guess that Sigal Chattah (a prolific X poster) won’t be re-“Tweeting” this post by Nevada Sen. Jacky Rosen (D) anytime soon …

And I guess Sigal Chattah is not too happy about what Nevada Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto had to say about it, either: Cortez Masto Statement on the Appointment of Sigal Chattah as Interim U.S. Attorney for Nevada

By SA Barket

According to the Nevada Republican Party, Sigal Chattah has been announced as being the interim US Attorney for Nevada.

We agree with the Democrats on this one, who said:

“Sigal Chattah is grossly unfit to serve as Nevada’s US Attorney. While running for Attorney General, Chattah said she would use public office to go after her political opponents and after losing the election sued to make voting harder. This is the same person who said that Nevada’s first Black Attorney General should be ‘hanging from a f-ing crane’. That, her significant ties to January 6th rioters, and much more disqualify her from being anywhere near the United States Justice Department.”

Nevada Independent’s Jon Ralston on Sigal Chattah’s interim appointment as US Attorney for the District of Nevada — wishing it were an April Fool’s joke in his post on X.

By SA Barket

This is not just my opinion; others are voicing this, too. (See above image from Jon Ralston’s feed of the Nevada Independent on X.)

Could it be an April Fool’s Day joke as Jon Ralston suggests?

We can only hope.

Opinion, By SA Barket

Sigal Chattah was nominated to be the interim US Attorney for the District of Nevada on Friday, March 28, 2025. According to news reports, she is to begin her interim term on Tuesday, April 1, 2025. Her nomination came late in the afternoon on a Friday, Eastern Daylight Savings Time.

The timing of this announcement is notable. That’s when news that gets pushed out to major media outlets gets buried, overlooked. It’s well known in the PR industry, that if you have bad news to release, make sure it goes out late on a Friday afternoon. Usually, those making the announcement don’t want too much attention on the news. And in this case, there’s a reason for it, and there’s reason for concern. This announcement is bad news for Nevada.

This also is the kind of story that seems to make people’s eyes glaze over.

Sigal Chattah? US Attorney? District of Nevada? Who cares?

You should.

Why?

Because the job of a US Attorney for the District of Nevada (there are 93 other such appointments across the country) is to to prosecute federal cases and defend the US in civil litigation. These appointments carry great power, and the nominees must be people of integrity, sharp decision-making, clear judgment, and of high ethical and moral character. Sigal Chattah is not any of those things, in my opinion. And this website points out the many reasons she should not be installed in this position.

Her integrity is highly questionable. Her character is highly questionable. Her judgment is highly questionable. Her relationships are highly suspect. Her decision making is questionable. She can be blinded by her own sense of self-righteousness. She just wants to win, facts be damned. Her connection with the criminal element goes far beyond the mere capacity of doing her job. With her, it’s personal.

The power a US Attorney has is immense within the judicial system. Each US attorney is the chief federal law enforcement officer in their specific jurisdiction and can supervise dozens of Assistant US Attorneys.

These US attorneys are nominated by the president — in this case, President Donald Trump — in districts across the country. The District of Nevada encompasses the whole state. The offices of the US attorney’s are part of the Department of Justice (DOJ) currently headed by Pam Bondi. They serve at the pleasure of the president and serve four year terms.

They often are referred to as federal prosecutors. They have the authority to investigate people, file formal criminal charges, issue subpoenas, engage in plea bargaining discussions, grant immunity to witnesses and — in some cases — to accused criminals.

With that kind of power over citizens in their jurisdictions, character and integrity of the individual charged with the awesome responsibility of the office must be unimpeachable. When it comes to Sigal Chattah, that’s not the case, in my opinion.

Just read through the many facts and questions we’ve brought to light here on this website. Read through the posts. Think about the person who was just nominated to be an interim US Attorney for the District of Nevada and see if you come to the same conclusions that I have — that Sigal Chattah is not the person for this job.

There seems to be no such thing as nuance with her.

Sigal Chattah has worked her way up the hierarchy of the Nevada state GOP chain of command, and she thinks her you-know-what doesn’t stink. And the people around her in the higher levels of the Nevada GOP don’t want to mess with her. They don’t want to get in her way for fear of being run over. She’s like that — like a bowling ball rolling down Las Vegas Boulevard, with no sense of the reality around her. She’s rolling, she has her path ahead of her, and nothing will stop her.

Or so she thinks.

“Grossly unfit,” is how Nevada State Democratic Party Chair Daniele Monroe-Moreno put it. We can’t argue with that.

OPINION — By SA Barket

Sigal Chattah, in my opinion, is a poser.

She wants you to think she’s a big mover & shaker on the Republican scene. She goes to all the important gatherings — like the 2022 Republican election watch party at T-Bones Chophouse in Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa when she was a candidate for Nevada Attorney General (which she lost), and when Joe Lombardo was candidate for Governor (which he won). Chattah posts photos of herself with bigwig state and national figures to make you think she’s a key insider, like the photo you see above of her and new FBI Director Kash Patel, which she posted to X. (We blocked out personal comments on the right for privacy’s sake.)

Now, however, comes the news that Sigal Chattah has been nominated to be the US Attorney for the State of Nevada. The Nevada State Republican Party made the announcement on Friday, March 28, 2025. The Trump Administration at this writing has not made any announcement.

Nevada State Democratic Party Chair Daniele Monroe-Moreno released the following statement on the appointment of Sigal Chattah as Nevada’s interim United States Attorney:

“Sigal Chattah is grossly unfit to serve as Nevada’s US Attorney. While running for Attorney General, Chattah said she would use public office to go after her political opponents and after losing the election sued to make voting harder. This is the same person who said that Nevada’s first Black Attorney General should be ‘hanging from a f-ing crane’. That, her significant ties to January 6th rioters, and much more disqualify her from being anywhere near the United States Justice Department.”

Sigal Chattah also is currently Nevada’s Republican National Committee Chairwoman. Good for her. We checked with some Nevada RNC folks we know, and they had one word for Chattah: “Weird.” (Don’t mean to steal your word, Tim Walz, which you made popular in your failed campaign to become the next Vice President in the 2024 election while referring to current VP J.D. Vance — but that was the exact word used to describe Chattah.)

By SA Barket

I’ve poked around a little bit, and the folks I checked with who might have some sense of Sigal Chattah’s status for the position of US Attorney for the District of Nevada have never hear of you before. Seems odd, especially coming from the sources I’ve spoken with. Maybe I’m not checking with the right folks.

Although I found out about a group that I was certain Chattah would be a part of — the National Republican Lawyers Association (NRLA). (See image above). Nope, not there. We searched for your name and came up with zilch. Just to be sure, we searched for other Republican-oriented attorneys who we knew were a part of the NRLA, and their names came right up.

Just seems odd that you wouldn’t be part of this relatively important group — especially important with regard to your career advancement — and a potential shot at the very powerful position of US Attorney for the District of Nevada.

Maybe your application for admission into that influential group is still pending.

By SA Barket

A convicted felon and identified organized crime figure (see image below and link: RJ – Judge Accused of Improper Involvement in Murder Probe) named Anthony (Nino) D’Anna (a k a, Tony D’Anna, Anthony Danna, Tony Danna) confided to SA Barket that D’Anna’s attorney at the time, Sigal Chattah, had been contacted by then-Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) Sheriff Joe Lombardo about comments by Chattah that Lombardo said he found troubling. (This was before Lombardo ran for and won the election to become Governor of the State of Nevada in 2022. Sigal Chattah also was on the ballot that year as a Republican candidate for Attorney General, going up against Democratic incumbent Ford.)

Click on the image above to read the full story at the Las Vegas Review Journal.

D’Anna relayed to SA Barket that Lombardo told Chattah that he did not appreciate her talking about him in a negative way, which he had heard about through an interesting source of information — a wiretap. According to D’Anna, Chattah’s remarks came to light from wiretap recordings that had been made with subjects related to an investigation into the mysterious robbery of a supposedly very pricey ring worn by Carol Jimmerson, wife of prominent Las Vegas attorney Jim Jimmerson. The robbery occurred in a parking lot outside of a medical office in Summerlin, a suburb of Las Vegas.

According to public domain campaign records, D’Anna’s statements were substantiated by proof of tens of thousands of dollars in donations through various actors and entities connected to prominent Las Vegas businesswoman, Vickie Dehart, which were used to funnel money to both Lombardo’s campaign for Governor and the 2022 Republican candidate for Nevada Attorney General, Sigal Chattah, among others.
