Bondi Betrayal? I Hope Not—But the DOJ’s Dismissal Feels Like a Slap in the Face to J6 Victims

The news hit like a goddamn freight train: the Department of Justice, under Attorney General Pam Bondi, has filed to dismiss the $100 million lawsuit filed by me and my fellow Brothers against the federal government for the political persecution we suffered after January 6th. This isn’t just some bullshit procedural move-it’s a gut-wrenching signal that raises serious questions about whether the promises of justice and reform are being upheld. Eight months into President Trump’s second term, with some January 6 political prisoners still languishing in cells without pardons, this decision defends the very prosecutions that Trump himself deemed unfair when he pardoned so many of us earlier this year. It’s hard to process because, frankly, I don’t want to believe this is a betrayal. I want to give Bondi the benefit of the doubt, to see her as the fierce ally Trump chose to lead the DOJ. But actions speak louder than intentions, and this filing feels like a dismissal not just of our case, but of the suffering endured by over 1,600 Americans caught in Biden’s dragnet. It makes me feel like nothing has really changed at the DOJ-same old song and dance, just with a new conductor who talks a big game but folds when it counts.

Look, I’ll give credit where it’s due, but let’s not overhype the shit out of it. Bondi has made some moves that hit the right notes: raiding John Bolton’s pad in a national security probe, slapping a $50 million bounty on Maduro’s head, flooding D.C. with feds for over 630 arrests and recovering a missing kid, threatening sanctuary cities with charges if they shield illegals, and meeting Canadians to crush the fentanyl flow. She’s even profiled as turning the DOJ against Trump’s enemies. But that’s it-flashes of promise in a sea of disappointment. These actions are a start, but they don’t touch the real cancer eating at the heart of our justice system. If she’s serious about draining the swamp, she needs to go after the bastards who weaponized the DOJ for political hits, not just play whack-a-mole with mid-level threats. Right now, it feels like window dressing while the deep state laughs its ass off.

But here’s the truth: for all these flashy moves, when it comes to the core rot-the weaponization of the DOJ under Biden that targeted Trump supporters-it feels like crickets. Nothing has changed. Garland turned the department into a hit squad, depriving liberty from 1,600 January 6th defendants with sham trials, solitary confinement and family intimidation. Trump was the real prize; they impeached him twice, indicted him four times, and damn near assassinated him. They leaned on me to rat him out-I told them to go fuck themselves. We Proud Boys? Scapegoats in their anti-Trump crusade. No violence from us, no destruction-I wasn’t even in the damn city. Yet 22 years for “seditious conspiracy”? That’s not justice; that’s straight-up tyranny, a rigged game designed to crush anyone who dares stand up for what they believe in.

This shit didn’t just fuck with us defendants-it ripped apart families, too. Over 1,600 J6ers and their loved ones have been dragged through hell. Kids growing up without dads, spouses left to fend for themselves, parents watching their children rot in cells for crimes they didn’t commit. In my case, my mother has been a goddamn warrior, fighting tooth and nail every step of the way. She’s endured harassment, threats, and the emotional gut-punch of seeing her son locked away in solitary for three years, cut off from the world like some animal. She’s stood by me through the bullshit trials, the media smears, and the endless appeals, never wavering. And she’s not alone-thousands of families have been shattered, bankrupted, and traumatized by this witch hunt. Biden’s DOJ didn’t just come after us; they waged war on entire bloodlines, all to send a message: support Trump, and we’ll destroy you and everyone you love.

Our lawsuit, filed in June by me, Joe Biggs, Zach Rehl, and the “Seditious Five,” calls it out: “egregious and systemic abuse” of the Constitution, demanding $100 million and a jury to air the dirty laundry. It’s about holding the abusers accountable, the Garlands and Millers who tampered with witnesses and fabricated evidence. But Bondi’s dismissal motion? It’s like she’s co-signing Biden’s playbook, saying the regime was spot-on. It greenlights unpunished weaponization, tells Biggs-a decorated Army veteran who bled for this country in Iraq and Afghanistan, earning two fucking Purple Hearts for taking shrapnel in combat-that his sacrifices mean jack shit, that his heroism is worthless in the face of their political vendetta. It says Rehl deserved to miss the birth of his daughter, robbed of holding her for the first time, watching her first steps from behind bars via grainy video calls, his wife raising their child alone while he rots for 15 years on trumped-up charges. And my three years in a concrete box? Deserved. Our pain, our ruined lives-dismissed like yesterday’s trash. This isn’t just a legal fuck-you; it’s a betrayal of every promise Trump made to fix this broken system. How the hell are we supposed to trust that the DOJ is reformed when they’re defending the very tactics that nearly stole an election and locked up innocent people?

The kicker? This drops right after Jeremy Bertino, their star witness, blows the lid off with a sworn recantation. Bertino, who flipped in 2022, now admits FBI goons and prosecutors strong-armed him: 25 years threatened unless he twisted his story. No D.C. presence for him either, but “coaching sessions” turned him into a puppet, hiding charges till he parroted their conspiracy BS. Agent Nicole Miller straight-up lied, pinning the “1776 Returns” doc on me illegally-that’s witness tampering, a felony that should have her in cuffs. Now it’s out: Garland’s crew ran a mafia op, coercing lies to jail dissenters. His testimony called us the “tip of the spear,” but it was all coerced script. This alone should kill the old cases and rocket our lawsuit forward. Instead, Bondi buries it, letting traitors walk. If this doesn’t scream “deep state cover-up,” I don’t know what the fuck does. Bertino’s flip exposes the whole rotten core-coercion, lies, threats-all to frame Trump supporters as terrorists. And yet, the DOJ under Bondi acts like it’s no big deal? Bullshit.

This stings because the Proud Boys have fought tooth and nail for nine years: Western chauvinism, no apologies, facing antifa thugs, media lies, and fed setups. We’ve exposed leftist plots in their own chats, showing how they blame us for riots we steered clear of. Post-pardons, we’ve rebuilt stronger-doing community work in SoCal, proving we’re about brotherhood and values, not the violence they accuse us of. But this dismissal? It screams “business as usual,” protecting the political hitmen while we rot. I expect Bondi to cuff the real criminals: Garland for wielding that sword like a fascist, Miller for her bald-faced lies, the whole cabal that perverted justice for power grabs. If she’s not arresting these assholes, what’s the point of her being AG? It’s like swapping one tyrant for another who smiles nicer.

The broader picture is even more fucked. This isn’t just about me or the Boys-it’s about the soul of America. Biden’s weaponization set a precedent: disagree with the regime, and they’ll crush you. Trump dodged a literal bullet, survived impeachments and indictments, all while fighting for us. His pardons were a lifeline, pulling us out of the abyss. But if Bondi lets this slide, it tells every future administration they can get away with treasonous shit. Liberty? That’s the word we throw around, but for 1,600 J6ers and their families, it was stolen outright. Solitary confinement isn’t just isolation; it’s psychological warfare, breaking minds and spirits. Families like mine have paid the price-my mom, a rock through it all, deserves better than watching the system spit on our fight. We need accountability, not dismissals. Prosecute the prosecutors, expose the setups, and make sure this never happens again.

Like Obi-Wan, Trump is our only hope. He’s dodged bullets-literal and legal-and his pardons saved us. Is Bondi sabotaging that? God, I hope not. Maybe holdovers are pulling strings-axe them. Withdraw this crap, prosecute the abusers, prove Trump’s trust wasn’t misplaced. To my locked-up brothers: Stay strong, we’re coming for you. To warriors out there: Blast this everywhere, demand heads roll. If we don’t fight this, the machine grinds on. Time to make the DOJ great again-for real. Fuck the deep state, fuck the cover-ups-let’s win this.

Uhuru!
