Aakash Singh has been in the news already for pushing for criminal prosecution of protestors. GWU law 2017, then worked 1 year for Thom Thillis, then 1 year for Chuck Grassley, to 2019. www.reuters.com/world/us/pro...

“There should be no bottleneck of referrals for complaints and legal process," wrote Associate Deputy Attorney General Aakash Singh. "Push out press releases whenever you file charges in these matters," he said.
Something fascinating - Aakash Singh has been scrubbing his internet presence. It's now bizarrely hard to figure out what he was doing between 2019 (when he was Grassley's counsel) and 2024 (AUSA in Florida). Singh has deleted his LinkedIn - Legistorm has a link to his old page, but it's gone.
Singh has also locked down his Facebook: www.facebook.com/AakashSingh For reference, below is Singh's now-deleted LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/aakash-si... This kind of scrubbing is not normal for a government employee (which is why people should have been alarmed that Aileen Cannon scrubbed hers.)
Thank you. I was beginning to wonder about his background. Seems wired to destroy the rule of law, not follow it.

Great find!
Didn't find any social media for him, but I didn't look very hard. If I stumble onto something I'll let you all know.
Same here
Another "interesting" (as Elon would say) case he was recently involved in, btw. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...
@capitolhunters.bsky.social is gonna be STUNNED (not). I said earlier today to someone in the thread that they had twitter HTs of all the fuckers who supported trump.
The corruption is endless. 😔 www.floridabulldog.org/2025/06/brib...
A fucking Persian guy with him too. I’m Persian and this is so typical of my people. These asshats don’t think they’ll be up against the wall when Cheeto pedo goes full on death camp. Like bro, you guys are Indian and Iranian, they’ll come for you too after they’ve used you. Idiots
There were so many pre-revolution Iranian flags at the US Capitol on Jan 6 - a big "Iranians for Trump" contingent. One of those fuckers got all the way up on the scaffolds. It's fine for them to oppose the current Iranian regime. It's not fine for them to try to overthrow US democracy.
🤮
Fuck, and I mean this in the most sincere way, these Iranian guys. They love a strongman fascist guy as their leader which is ironic bc they’re against a strongman fascist theocracy in Iran. Same shit, different flag
FYI: the yellow flag with red stripes on the bottom is South Vietnam: the Vietnamese community was a bigger presence than the Persians, and the Chinese bigger still. A whole MAGA network radicalized through native-language social media.
It’s a phenomenal with immigrants from developing nations. They love statues and billboards of their fascist leaders. They’d love a Shah type guy they could kneel to. My people never discovered The Enlightenment
They had entire HTs on X. Serbs For Trump being a great example. Also pals with Flynn. bsky.app/profile/trcf...
She had some troubles with Cory Mills. www.newarab.com/news/florida...
🤮
Grew up with a ton of Serbian friends and still keep in touch. One of my friend’s fathers escaped communism as a child, we kind of had the same experience of fleeing as 10 year olds. The family is socially liberal but then he went and represented … Milosovich at The Hague … 🤦🏽♀️ It drives me nuts
😬 Olga was a Ron Paul fan way back. Her family ran a radio station in Chicago. She likes Ed now. bsky.app/profile/trcf...
My father was invited last year to an event to support women who'd been in the South Vietnamese army. Because the organization he belonged to had donated some money to the cause we had front table seats—with a bottle of Hennessy in the middle—and the S.-Vietnam-will-rise-again vibe was kind of wild.
Thank you! that is great and necessary context.
Interesting & disturbing in light of Cannon comparison. Is typical tenure for Senate staff attorney as new law grad usually so short? One year with Tillis & one with Grassley seems like job hopping. But I know they work long hours w/o much pay so maybe not red flag it would be in other legal work.
He was Chuck Grassley’s counsel two years after law school? I guess it’s true what they say, the committee staff are the smart ones and the personal staff are warm bodies
He worked for Thom Thillis straight out of law school. Personal connection? Would be nice to know how that happened, and whether it's normal.
If its not some personal connection then what the hell is the reason? Brand new attorneys are so, so green. We don't have a residency like MDs do
Meant to distinguish "personal" (family) from the other way young people seem to get these kind of jobs - having been noticed in conservative student activist circles. It seems unlikely a newly graduated law student (not yet barred?) would be hired as a Senator's counsel just via sending in a CV.
Paul Ingrassia, for example, was groomed in far-right activism as a student, as a Claremont fellow, twice. He did a year of law work, then went into propaganda, even wrote for the Gateway Pundit. Then Trump gave him a high-level White House appointment! That wasn't because of his law credentials.
