Must be nice to be a Democrat.

You can shovel cash to family members, and no one investigates.

According to federal filings, Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) campaign paid her husband’s consulting firm $2.9 million during the 2020 election cycle.

That’s 78% of the firm’s intake.

The Washington Free Beacon reported:

Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D., Minn.) campaign payments to her husband’s firm accounted for nearly 80 percent of its cash haul during the 2020 elections, federal filings show.

The E Street Group, a D.C. consulting firm owned by Tim Mynett, Omar’s husband, and his partner Will Hailer, received $3.7 million from political committees this past cycle. Omar’s campaign was by far its biggest moneymaker, doling out 146 checks for $2.9 million, or 78 percent of the firm’s payments. Its second biggest cash source was Omar mentor Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D., Wash.), whose campaign provided $194,000. The two combined for 85 percent of the firm’s payments.

Omar’s payments to E Street constituted a large part of her campaign expenditures. Her committee spent $5.2 million, meaning that the $2.9 million that she funneled to her husband’s firm was 56 percent of the campaign’s operational costs. The money went toward advertisements, mail, consulting, and travel. In early November, Omar said she cut ties with her husband’s firm after backlash.

Sounds like a sweet deal. I’ll run for Congress, get paid by taxpayers, have my spouse’s company support my campaign, and use donors to pay millions to her.

Ain’t America great?

Tim Mynett, Omar’s husband

I guess there are more limits to her anti-semitism than to her corruption.

Omar left a forsaken land of poverty and superstition to be in the greatest country on earth.

Then she throws sand in our faces, insults us, practically spits out “the current occupant of the White House” every single time to refer to President Trump all the way up to January 20th, and complains about our systemic racism, the toxic white supremacy of which all white people are guilty, and tries to take down our system and replace it with an oppressive anti-Judeo-Christian form of Marxism.

Omar, go back and overthrow your own country. Leave our country alone.

“her husband’s consulting firm”

What kind of “consulting” does he do? “Give me $2.9 million and I will count the money and consult with you if it is indeed $2.9 million.”

"The money went toward advertisements, mail, consulting, and travel."

This screams of corruption, but the MSM don't give a hoot. If it were the Trump family doing this, Congress and the media would be demanding investigations, tax returns, and detailed breakdowns of expenses.

I remember Mark Levin a long long time ago, I think this is when he was first starting out on the radio, he said “When it comes to terrorists the right wants to fight them, the left wants to elect them into office” and I thought it was a strange comment, who was he talking about? And right after that Obama was elected POTUS who on his very first day in office tried to close Gitmo, he then went on to finance terror via Iran while reinforcing the enemy with Gitmo releases and wow, I thought Levin was right on. And now here we are with people like Omar and Tliab in office. The Great One all those year ago predicted Democrats to a tee.

The Republicans don’t care either. There is nothing left in DC but corruption and graft.

Isn’t that special....
No reason to investigate....
No reason to remove her from any form of leadership...
Just a good little muslim woman, doing the best she can in a racist USA.

Remember FReepers predicting that AOC and friends would all be one-termers?

Yeah, that was as detached from reality as all the investigations that were never real
