Elie Honig: If Ilhan Omar Gets Indicted, Defense Will Likely Make the Case for ‘Vindictive Prosecution’

RUSH EXCERPT:

HONIG: “The man who was wrongly deported. Now he was brought back to the country. He was indicted, and a federal judge threw out that indictment based on vindictive prosecution. Jim Comey is going to make the same motion on down the line that I just listed. So the president likes to do this. He has made a habit of calling not just name calling, but calling for prosecutions of people he doesn‘t like. And I promise you, defense lawyers are taking note. And those statements are going to find their way into defense. Motions to dismiss someday.”
