Some people decry Ilhan Omar because of her anti-Semitism. That's not what could bring her down, though. Simple, old-fashioned graft just might:
An independent government watchdog says Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar's campaign may have committed serious campaign finance fraud.Omar has operated under the assumption that the Esme Murphys of the world will cover for her. If the "probably" turns into "is," she'll have to leave. There are dozens of the DFL politicos who would love to have her seat in Congress. We're watching this one.
Omar's campaign spent $21,547 on travel for the E Street Group, run by Tim Mynett, whose wife is now accusing him of leaving her for Omar. Tom Anderson, who is with the conservative National Legal and Policy Center, said the travel payment may actually be Omar using campaign funds for personal use, according to the Daily Caller News Foundation.
"We believe Representative Ilhan Omar may have touched the third rail of campaign finance law: disbursing campaign funds for personal use," Anderson said. "It's a brazen act Representative Omar was caught doing before in Minnesota and all of the evidence we've seen tells us she’s probably doing it again."

Esme and the rest of the local journalistic knitting club were perfectly willing and able to provide cover for Omar - locally. Once she splashed into a bigger pond, though, there's only so much they can do. Even the Strib splashed the headline of the spurned ex-wife on the front page last night (always interesting to read the "But, Trump..." comments following the article). A really cynical person might think that someone in the DFL gave the Strib permission and encouragement to run the story.
We've also long heard the warnings about glass houses and throwing stones; in Omar's faith tradition, stone throwing might not be metaphorical.
Omar has gotten this far on her race alone. there were plenty of questions to be explored at the beginning of her career, but only a racist would ask them. are you now saying that a bunch of white supremist Democrats (who dont exist, the media tell us that) are going to attempt a coup?
it wont happen.
you are too busy seeing the world of politics as it should be... (GOP, fair play perspective)... and not as it is.
the same reason you were NeverTrump...(and declared to remain so)...
Omar aint going no where, and McCabe/Comey et al will never be convicted, either... Bill Bar is a Deep Stater, who on his best day will offer a sharply worded report... but will never send a homie to jail.
the same reason you were NeverTrump...(and declared to remain so)...
Not true. I have avoided NeverTrump for the better part of two years. I may never be a fan, but I don’t see a scenario in which I would support a Trump opponent in 2020.
