A consulting firm co-owned by Rep. Ilhan Omar's husband, Tim Mynett, appears to be back in business after ostensibly halting its political operations at the federal level following controversy stemming from Omar's campaign shelling out millions to the company.
The Minnesota progressive's campaign dished out nearly $3 million to Mynett's firm, E Street Group, before criticism had forced her to terminate the contract in November 2020. Mynett and his business partner then appeared to veer away from their political operation to consult wine and beverage companies.
Mynett's firm, however, appears to have reopened the doors to its political business after recently taking in cash from an Omar-linked committee.
The E Street Group received a $15,000 research consulting payment from the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party's federal committee on Feb. 25, records show.
Mynett's firm hauled in the money just two days after Omar's campaign transferred $15,000 into the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party's coffers. Omar's campaign sent $22,000 to the committee this cycle before the payment.

Mynett's previous run at the federal level netted the firm millions of dollars, primarily from Omar's campaign. The campaign doled out nearly $3 million to the E Street Group to cover advertisements, consulting, travel expenses and production costs.
After insisting that she would not cut off the agreement between her campaign and her husband's firm, Omar emailed supporters in November 2020 to announce she was terminating the contract.

Mynett and Hailer, meanwhile, pivoted their efforts toward the wine and beverage industry after Omar had nixed the contract. The duo offered companies advertising, public relations and web services.
According to the D.C. business records, the trade name for that company, eStreet.co, was canceled in October 2021. The similarly named California limited liability company remains in good standing.

But all it takes is one conscientious prosecutor and a couple of dedicated law men. There has to be at least a couple of authorized people out there who would step up.
The courageous are arrested and conservatives walk away. No support at all.
They perform this theft in the open for all to see. No one does anything about it.
*sigh* Yes, of course you’re right.
I assure you I really don’t want to be correct about this. I really wish that conservatives were organized and passionate about their beliefs and about protecting each other.
