MIKE DAVIS: Justice Department must be wrapping up Rep. Ilhan Omar's Christmas present
When U.S.
Department of Homeland Security agents raided the DC home of far-left Islamist and Democrat U.S.
House Rep.
Ilhan Omar of Minnesota last Monday, they came armed with a judicial warrant.
Omar’s fellow leftists shrieked that the raid amounted to political revenge from President Trump.
We do not know yet the facts contained in the agents’ affidavit that goes with any warrant, but we certainly know enough to say this: These leftists’ accusation is laughable.
The more likely scenario is Omar and many others will receive a Christmas present in the form of federal indictments.
FEDERAL AGENTS RAID ILHAN OMAR’S DC HOME AMID IMMIGRATION FRAUD INVESTIGATION The Fourth Amendment bars judges from issuing a warrant without probable cause.
U.S.
Magistrate Judge Matthew Sharbaugh of the District of Columbia, the DC duty judge when the Omar raid occurred, reportedly signed the warrant for Omar’s home.
That means Judge Sharbaugh found probable cause evidence of at least one federal crime is inside Omar’s home.
Supreme Court precedents like United States v.
Leon (1984) require that an issuing judge must be neutral and detached.
If anything, Judge Sharbaugh's record suggests a judge predisposed to rule against the Trump Justice Department, not for it.
