A California winery co-owned by Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar’s husband, Tim Mynett, has shut its doors for good amid scrutiny of the congresswoman’s family wealth.
The winery ceased business operations on April 4, two months after Republicans sent a letter demanding answers into the discrepancies between Omar’s congressional financial disclosures for 2024 and the one she filed just one year earlier, according to California business records.
In a February letter to Mynett, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) said financial disclosures filed by his wife Omar “show eStCru LLC and Rose Lake Capital LLC, which you hold ownership stakes in, went from being worth as much as $51,000 in 2023 to as much as $30 million in 2024.”
Comer said the discrepancy sparked “serious public concerns” about how the Santa Rosa winery and venture capital firm “increased so dramatically in value only a year after reporting very limited assets.”
“Given that these companies do not publicly list their investors or where their money comes from, this sudden jump in value raises concerns that unknown individuals may be investing to gain influence with your wife.”
This week Omar claimed she and Mynett’s net worth wasn’t actually tens of millions of dollars after all, and they actually have less than $100,000 combined, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. Her office told the outlet those numbers were made in error, and blamed their accountant.
Mynett’s business venture capital and boutique winery was started in the fall of 2021, after his prior consulting firm shut down.

How can the winery close when it never was open?
Was this laundering money?
Forgot where the “/” and “s” keys are on your keyboard?
You always launder the bribes through the spouse.
Musta been hundreds of bottles of Omar’s eStCru LLC on package store shelves...../s.
Tee hee. They might become collectibles like Billy Beer.
Good point.
Sort of like taxpayers not riding on a bullet train in California that never existed.
The story: (I’ll add “All aboard.”
California’s bullet train has been in planning for over four decades, with early feasibility studies beginning in 1981 and the official authorizing agency created in 1996. While voters approved funding in 2008 and construction broke ground in 2015, the project has faced decades of delays, with the first passengers not expected until 2033.

They should issue a ceremonial ticket to a baby born in 1981
who can ride on the train, using a walker to get on.
The address was “Mailboxes Etc”
Fraud.
Bingo! Although done badly, Omar understood that she had to list her Somali fraud cash on her financial disclosures with apparent legitimacy so that she and her husband could enjoy the benefit of it. Otherwise, it would be just an inert pile under a mattress, so to speak. My guess is that forensic accountants will whoop with laughter once they get to look at the paperwork for Omar’s finances.
Winery/medicare facility?
Winery is on hospice.
We’ll send you the bill.
Booze and Islam.... That’s a good mix.

Any chance the corrupt butt boys at the New York Times or Washington Post will take this story seriously - considering a democrat is the focus?
A person born in 1981 and taking the first ride in 2033 would only be 52 years old. Find the oldest living parent from the 52 year-old cohort, and who has paid taxes to California continuously since 1981, to take that ride!

She’s gonna have that big shameless grin on her face in her mugshot. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a photo of her without her headgear. Maybe later.
