Ilhan Omar could be facing a prisoner's dilemma, says attorney Vikas Bajaj. Speaking with Trace Gallagher on Fox News at Night, Vikas explains what happens when a summons arrives: "I can't talk to you, get a lawyer," and then the finger pointing starts. He notes there may be a whistleblower, calls it a "great technique by the Department of Justice," and says she has to get a well-heeled and experienced defense team immediately. https://www.bajajlaw.com/ #IlhanOmar #Lawyer #FederalDefense #TrialLawyer #CriminalDefense #FederalCrimes #FoxNews #Shorts
ILHAN OMAR: PRISONER'S DILEMMA? Attorney Vikas Bajaj on Fox News
DOJ vs. California over the voter rolls: who's right? Attorney Vikas Bajaj breaks it down. Speaking with Trace Gallagher on Fox News at Night, Vikas says California is correct that you need independently verifiable information, "not just an Excel sheet." But refusing to look at the data because a USB drive or link may be encrypted? "That's just foolish." Any judge or magistrate always has a way for a third party to cleanse the information and allow it to be viewed. https://www.bajajlaw.com/ #DOJ #VoterRolls #California #Lawyer #FederalDefense #TrialLawyer #CriminalDefense #FederalCrimes #FoxNews #Shorts

#TickleTheWire #IlhanOmar #FederalDefense Attorney Vikas Bajaj joined Fox News at Night with Trace Gallagher to break down two federal enforcement stories. Federal investigators are examining Representative Ilhan Omar's immigration paperwork, and her home was searched. Attorney Bajaj explains the strategy known as "tickling the wire": agents execute a search warrant and seize evidence after grand jury subpoenas have already gone out. That pressure can push witnesses and potential defendants into a prisoner's dilemma, and the finger-pointing begins. Anyone facing that situation needs an experienced defense team right away. The Department of Justice is pressing California for access to its voter rolls, and the Los Angeles County Registrar has declined to open the data drive DOJ provided. Attorney Bajaj notes that the statute the administration cites bars this kind of action within 90 days. He agrees that removing a voter requires independently verifiable information, not a spreadsheet. He also explains why refusing to review the data at all is not a sound legal position: courts routinely let a neutral third party vet sensitive data.
