Regular readers of RedState will doubtless recognize the name Harmeet Dhillon, the conservative attorney who founded both the Dhillon Law Group and the Center for American Liberty and served as the California RNC chair from 2016 to April 2025. She stepped down as chairwoman to be sworn in as the Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice, and she has been busy indeed in that role.
We’ve also written about the politicized investigations of the Biden DOJ’s former Special Counsel Jack Smith, who weaponized his powers to “get” Trump in two failed federal criminal cases, where he made a number of dubious legal moves. In October, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) revealed that Smith had spied on at least eight Republican senators and one member of the House during his endless, crusading probe. In all, according to Grassley, 197 subpoenas were issued during the investigation targeting 430 GOP individuals and entities.
Turns out, the special counsel also spied on Dhillon, as the AAG explained in an interview on “Pod Force One” released Wednesday.
In an interview with podcast host and Post columnist Miranda Devine, Dhillon discussed how as a veteran conservative lawyer she had been involved in many cases brought by Biden’s Department of Justice — but she was outraged to learn the FBI “spied” on her as part of a 2020 election interference case.
“There’s almost never an excuse to pierce a lawyer’s privilege,” the assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division said of her work defending Project Veritas for obtaining the diary of Ashley Biden.
“And yet, we’ve seen this Department of Justice and the prior ones, go after many lawyers, go after their communications with their clients, and my law firm represented the former president and his campaign and my law firm’s name, The Dhillon Law Group, is repeatedly mentioned in the Arctic Frost disclosures as a target of these communications.”
Unbelievable, the gall of this guy, Smith. He’s just another stain on Joe Biden and his attack dog attorney general, Merrick Garland, as they turned the DOJ into their own personal vendetta machine.
Here, Dhillon goes into more detail about the sanctity of attorney-client privilege and why it is so troubling that Smith was only too willing to ignore it. Watch:

The host of the podcast, Miranda Devine of the New York Post, asked Dhillon point-blank: “They spied on you?” Harmeet:
“Yes,” Dhillon responded. “We were part of the investigative targets, and that’s because we represented the Republican National Committee, and we represented the Trump campaign, and we represented some of the other MAGA entities. And so, I mean, we’re all over the place there. As are several other law firms of current DOJ officials.”

Smith and his minions may have been the princes of arrogance during their heyday, but they shouldn’t get too comfortable. According to Assistant Attorney General Dhillon, Trump’s DOJ is “going to get to the bottom of that [abuse of power] at some point.”
Let's hope so.
