If there were an investigation, which there almost certainly will not be, Ilhan Omar would likely be found completely innocent of any wrongdoing, no matter what the facts of the case may be. Why? Because as a quadruple victim — female, migrant, black, Muslim — she has a coveted protected status in American society today, and privilege to do essentially whatever she wants. I’m not saying she is guilty of violating any laws here, as there is no law against a political campaign hiring a relative or spouse. But this is the same sort of situation as that of Hunter and Joe Biden. Hunter Biden was hired by a Ukrainian oil company for a massive salary despite having no experience in the industry. Even if no actual laws were broken, it was quite clearly a case of buying influence in the U.S. government, just as Omar here is taking advantage of a lacuna in the laws to funnel campaign money into her personal account. And of course there is plenty of evidence of her violating other laws. Nonetheless, no matter what she has done, she is golden. If she were a Christian male born in the U.S., and a conservative, there would be heavy pressure on her to resign in disgrace, she would be vilified in the media on a regular basis, and legal proceedings would be underway against her.
“Rep. Omar has paid husband’s political consulting firm nearly $2.8M,” by Mark Moore, New York Post, November 11, 2020:
Rep. Ilhan Omar has funneled nearly $2.8 million to her husband’s political consulting company since the beginning of 2019, according to a report.
Omar’s campaign paid $1.6 million to E Street Group LLC, which is owned by her husband, Tim Mynett, from the start of 2019 to July 22, 2020, Fox News reported Tuesday, citing Federal Election Commission data.
Another $1.1 million was sent to the firm in the third quarter and $27,000 in the following weeks.
The $1.1 million figure represented nearly 70 percent of the $1.6 million that her campaign spent in those three months, the report said.
The expenses were for a range of campaign services, including cable advertising, “digital consulting,” video production and editing, Fox News said.
Omar, a Democrat from Minnesota, easily won re-election last week.
Her campaign and E Street Group did not respond to requests for comment from Fox News.
Omar has defended her expenses and said her campaign worked with Mynett’s firm long before they began a relationship.
“We consulted with a top FEC campaign attorney to ensure there were no possible legal issues with our relationship,” she said in a Twitter post in March, just days after she married Mynett. “We were told this is not uncommon and that no, there weren’t.”…
mortimer says
Double standards of the Dems. They wouldn’t tolerate a Republican doing the same thing. It’s corruption.
Wellington says
Omar is both corrupt and evil. Whatever’s wrong with America, it’s nothing she can fix.
All that Omar can do is bring greater harm to America. I despise her.
James Lincoln says
Wellington says,
“Whatever’s wrong with America, it’s nothing she can fix.”
Absolutely correct.
Not only can she *not* fix it – she actually *wants* to break it.
But you knew that already…

While most of the world barely made it through the Great Depression Hitler enjoyed significant wealth from benefactors and sales of “Mein Kampf”. And reports are he was a lazy ruler who did very little real work. Other sources of income came from property stolen from Jews. It was all dirty money. Like the money company A received via govt. contracts that was never opened to companies B-Z. Many people.voted for this woman to represent their anti capitalist, soak the rich ideology. And some of them are poor. What a slap in the face, but not much of a surprise.

I’m missing your point. Please explain.
DavidR says
Rambling about the similarities between leftist “celebrities” and Hitler and the resultant hypocrisy.
citoyen says
Quite so. She was elected from her concentrated ethnic base.
As for Hitler, he was unemployed when young but was never lazy at any time.
Hitler’s evil ascent was partly accidental but still an enigma; Ilma Omar is merely a pretty but obvious opportunist.
I wonder if Tlaib La Bruta would get away with the same financial shenanigans.
Rarely says
It doesn’t look like there is a lot here. They married in March, 2020 and, apparently, his company had been working for her for a long time before then. It would be hard to switch companies in an election year. She seems to get married a lot (must like the gifts).
However, I am not saying, or even suggesting, that she hasn’t broken other laws.
James Lincoln says
Maybe it’s my imagination, but I think that Tim Mynett has that leftist “look”.
He’d fit in well with the Ted Wheeler crowd…
Keith O says
A leftist look? You mean the crazy out to lunch, nobody home, behind the eyes, look?
Sara says
Who else but a leftist would marry her?

This ugly, creepy, evil, creature makes me sick. I can’t stand looking at her photo. She has the appearance of a rattlesnake or cobra about to pounce on a poor baby bird who tried too early to fly and has fallen in the grass.
I am assured by the Word of God that this evil woman will one day no longer exist to do her evil works and to gloat in the fact of no punishment for what she knows is wrong.
She worships satan the devil…calling that demon snake her ‘god’ and working to make his final days successful in turning people away from the Truth and bringing destruction upon themselves. Like father…satan…like daughter…omar. (not her real name)
To her I say, “You are from your father the devil and you wish to do the desires of your father. That one was a murderer when he began and did not stand fast in the Truth, because the Truth is not in him.” Neither is the Truth in you, omar.
omar is a lair and would murder for islam given the opportunity. She has funded and worked for the mb…who are murderers and terrorists.
SJ says
The tens of thousands of Muslim voters in her district would only vote for a Muslim.
SJ says
We need a news channel that doesn’t censor facts about terrorism. Would any conservative Billionaire (or a group of them) pay for it? How can we make Fox News discuss more on terrorism?
somehistory says
Newsmax is said to report the facts.
Stanton Lore says

Rob says
Others who will escape ‘free’ are:
Hillary re missing emails
Hillary re hall closet server
McCabe and Szrok re ‘insurance policy’
Madonna and creepy Depp re threats to the President
Obama, Biden, Brennand Clapper re conspiring in the White house to derail the incoming Trump presidency
and..
Hunter Biden for past and future (likely) ‘clipping the ticket’ and his ten percent ‘for the big guy’.
Andrew says
muslims in MN and around the World are laughing in the faces of Americans and Europeans as they see our level of tolerance as a weakness while we see that as our strength.
If anybody wants to call me a racist, a fascist, or an islamophobe, I first look at the source of this opinion and act accordingly.
islam is a Fascist Religious Cult… Hands down, no doubt about it… Just read their hate filled book, listen to what their teachers and leaders are saying and act accordingly.

Omar is playing the old tax shelter game, she really know how to manipulate the legal tax system to her own advantage .
Annette says
Omar can be procecuted when she is not acting in the House. Why do Americans get this wrong. Congresspersons are not immune to prosecutions.

Such true love. Shouldn’t ilhan be stoned for adultery? Why the delay?

Ilan Omar is so terrible and such a danger to US Homeland Security that even an American imam had described Omar as “ISIS with lipstick.” [1]

About that Muslim politician ,Ilhan Omar , after her election to Congress she was thus was given a seat on the House of Foreign Affairs Committee where she has much scheming influence to promote her Un-American Islamic ideas ,politics and polices ,specifically Sharia law, upon America .
Omar with her foreign Islamic agenda she desire to impose on America which are in strong contrast to American ideas , values , politic and polices are a matter of concern .
With this type of insidious Islamic infiltration in the US government the wisdom of the former US President, Theodore Roosevelt, very much applies to this serious situation.
For in a speech President Roosevelt, rightly, declared “There can be no fifty-fifty Americanism in this country. There is room here for only one hundred percent Americanism, only for those who are Americans and nothing else.”
Kay says
Well, she isn’t a paragon of moral virtue considering she was having an affair with a married man and that man left his wife to marry her. Prior to starting a relationship with him, she had only paid his firm $280,000 in consulting fees and according to the article below, he was broke when he filed for divorce from his wife. So obviously she gave his firm most of the money after they were already involved in before the election started.

Pull on an Islamic head dress raise your hand and scream “Look at me, look at me, I agree with Muhammad, I am STUPID!”
OLD GUY says
Sadly she should be made the example of a criminal crooked politician. If this country is a country of laws than lets enforce them on everyone the same, your race, religion, sexual preference and political position should not matter. If you are in PUBLIC OFFICE you should be held to a higher standard of ethics and legality.
