I joined @TuckerCarlson to discuss how our government — through the FBI and other agencies — told social media companies to censor speech regarding election matters before and after the 2020 elections — and @facebook & @Twitter cheerfully complied, affecting the election outcome.
The FBI has time and again shown itself to be a secret police, political henchmen of their favored leaders, willing to threaten journalists, lie to courts, leak, execute unconstitutional search warrants, entrap citizens, & even lie to private companies to suppress citizen speech.
In 2021 we @Liberty_Ctr sued @Twitter after we saw documentary proof that California’s SOS, then @AlexPadilla4CA, used taxpayer dollars to make enemies lists of 2020 election critics, resulting in our client, lawyer Rogan O’Handley aka “DC_Draino” being deplatformed from Twitter.
Despite overwhelming evidence, fed district ct said there was no case against either Twitter, the government, or the crony consulting firms that carried the corrupt and First Amendment-violating orders. And now we learn about Facebook and the FBI. I hardly recognize this country.
Back in 2001, as my Sikh brothers and sisters and South Asians and Muslims were harassed by the FBI using 9/11 as the pretext, I spoke up against the Patriot Act. Conservatives condemned me, liberals went along with the surveillance state. How do you like your FBI now, feel safe?
I founded @Liberty_Ctr to fight back against our government’s excesses and the private sector henchmen who squelch our freedoms. If you want to help us in the lawfare battles now and to come, you can support us at Libertycenter.org/donate/ — 🙏🏼🇺🇸

🧵Dress codes post-pandemic… in our firm, started in San Francisco but now with five offices including in the stuffy east coast, the dress code started out business casual, jeans allowed Fridays, lawyers keep a suit hanging in case of injunction emergencies. I’m old school …
2/ Then COVID hit…and most of our attorneys didn’t come into work at all, worked from home, Zoom vibe. Some of us came into work starting June 2020, by choice; at first it was status quo ante. But by the fall, dress began to degenerate. I noticed pre-Friday hoodies, sneakers …
3/ and even jeans began to sneak in Thursdays & earlier. New hires came in wearing whatever the hell they wanted, and well… the focus was elsewhere. We were litigating shutdown orders and such all over the country, suing baddies, working long hours, parents had childcare issues/
Test drove a newish car today for the first time in two decades.... that was interesting.
"where's the spare tire and jack?" Salesman shakes head sadly. "Ma'am, BMWs haven't come with those for some time. If you have a flat, you have 50 miles of drive-flat radius..., or press this button for help" hmmmm not comforting.
🧵We're looking for a few new team members at @dhillonlaw--with the greatest needs being experienced paralegals for our five (soon to be six) offices. Competitive salary & benefits plus interesting work, colleagues who love the law. Please check out dhillonlaw.com/careers/
2/ And not yet listed but based on popular demand of my partners, we are looking for a midlevel associate in California to work on business litigation, national election law, whistleblower, and some intriguing other lawsuits. Apply to jobs at dhillonlaw.com
3/ Three of my partners started their careers as first-year lawyers at our firm. We are a values-oriented workplace with a very selective practice, not all things to all people. If you connect me with someone we hire, a hand-knit item could be yours!
🧵 News! Our clients @GOP & @GaRepublicans moved to intervene to defend GA election laws under attack by a Democrat SuperPAC & other leftwing dark money groups claiming GA’s wet signature requirement on absentee ballots is somehow unconstitutional?! prod-media-assets.protectthevote.com/media/document…
2/Marc Elias & crew would have you believe that using an electronic signature on your absentee ballot application is a voting rights travesty. This made-up issue ignores that Georgia makes all voting, including absentee voting, easy. Record turnout last month proves it!
3/ Dems have brought similar cases recently under the federal Civil Rights Act, asking courts to adopt a distorted reading of the law. GA has every right to regulate its absentee voting process & require safeguards such as handwritten signature on absentee ballot applications.
🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨Tennessee court orders our client @robbystarbuck restored to the ballot as a candidate for TN-5 congressional race! Court says TNGOP violated open meeting law and thus its secret meeting picking otherwise-qualified candidates off the ballot was void:
My partner @MikeColumboEsq represented @robbystarbuck on these claims in federal court; federal judge suggested we pursue state claims in state court, which Robby did with our excellent co-counsel, Sherrard Roe Voigt Harbison. This is a huge victory for transparency in elections!
3/ we are all in different places but ecstatic over this victory and all kudos go to @robbystarbuck who did not give up in the face of the establishment, one court loss, and a rapid and very stressful court battle that took place in days and weeks. Good luck Robby!! 🥹🥹🥹
2/ Please join me in congratulating @jpdeol, head of our employment litigation/counseling and executive transition practice. dhillonlaw.com/team-showcase/… JP Singh Deol started his career at our firm, came back three years ago. Very proud to see him grow into a leader.
3/ Michael Columbo made partner today too. @MikeColumboEsq is a campaign finance & election trial lawyer, also heading our qui tam/whistleblower practice & white collar defense. He’s been a federal prosecutor and a senior FEC lawyer too! dhillonlaw.com/team-showcase/…
