Why the Ilhan Omar saga isn't going away

A spokeswoman for Omar said she "has repeatedly and unequivocally denied this baseless, disgusting conspiracy theory."

But indications that Omar faced scrutiny ten years ago make it harder to characterize this as wild, right-wing conjecture emanating from the blogosphere.

"Who ordered [the investigation] closed?" Fox contributor Paul Mauro asked. "Reportedly, both administrations had opened cases into this. We now know how much smoke there is."

Omar campaigned for the state legislature in 2016. Her campaign released a letter from the U.S. attorney saying it "wasn’t investigating" nor requesting an inquiry into Omar.

So was she cleared? Or does word of the old probe pour petrol on the flames?

"Omar will talk about it and say, ‘They've looked into this. Nothing came about it,’" said University of Minnesota political science professor Kathryn Pearson. "But I think it's also a talking point that Republicans will use. So, I think sort of both sides will try to use that to their advantage."

John Nagel is Omar’s Republican opponent on the ballot next week. Nagel views the new investigation as a political wedge.

"With the raid on her home, people should keep this in mind. It's a very serious accusation," Nagel said. "As far as I'm concerned, Somalia comes first in her life. And we are nothing more than a piggy bank for her."

Does Minnesota even know it has an illegal alien on the ballot?

I thought that was why one of her supporters finagled the case into Judge Boasberg’s hands, so it would go away.

For me personally, if she escapes prosecution and deportation thats it. Put a fork in us. Ill be taking a massive step back from any politics of any kind too.

[Freeleesy]

I like the timing (of the noise about her) too...

[DIRTYSECRET]

Think Benghazi. Who ordered our guys to STAND DOWN? No one knows so she’ll get away with this one. Blame republicans for no fight in them.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Craig Livingstone got away with not saying Hillary hired him. Total BS and if we keep either branch of congress the heat needs to be put on OUR people. Gettin’ tired of this $hit.

[Steely Tom]

Craig Livingstone got away with not saying Hillary hired him.

That guy sure disappeared down into a deep hole.

[dandiegirl]

If she was a Republican the Dems would have already jailed and/or deported her long ago. They seem to get it done.

[b4me]

which consp[racy theory does she deny?

Is she saying her father wasn’t military, which would have made him likely in eligible to come here? why did he change his name to get here?

Is she saying her name was always Ilhan Omar, why are her siblings and father’s name different?

Is conspiracy the document that showed her “brother”as being a few years younger than her, though she is supposedly the youngest of siblings in her family,.

Is she saying she didnt get confused on her name on marriage certificate, to “brother” person? she didnt marry her brother? You know the guy she lived with while still living with and having sex with Hirsi because she and Hirsi had a child and filed tax returns together while she was legally married to the “brother”

Or is the conspiracy that her husband didnt have fake wine businesss?

Or her mistakes about net worth being in millions, then oh, just a few thousand?

which one is the conspiracy?

there are so many to choose from!

[CivilWarBrewing]

There's so many instances of her committing FRAUD that it's difficult to keep track..

HOW did she STAY in Congress after having said THIS while visiting her country of origin (Somalia): "..it is incumbent upon me to force the USA to do Somalia's bidding." Doesn't she represent Minnesota and America, NOT SOMALIA?

ALSO, she had been granted SECURITY CLEARANCES while on committees, and there's allegations she LEAKED CLASSIFIED INFORMATION TO HER BUDDIES IN SOMALIA:

ALSO SEE THE VIDEO POSTED AT THE ABOVE LINKED PAGE.. UNREAL.

right! I forgot I read about that too!

USA seriously needs to re-do immigration.

no freebies and IF allowed to stay here or granted citizenship, it should be contingent upon a review covering the 1st decade of them being here. what did they do vs how much did they abuse systems, commit crimes, etc. I am so sickened to read articles of deaths and harms caused by illegals or people newly here (a few years) plus all the fraud and syphoning monies every way they can!

ilhan is a complete traitor, no assimilation, just pretend, to get all she can out of US. I truly hope everyone connected to her ends up deported, even her kids. they do not belong here because she never should have been here in the first place, and she caused US so much damage.

Sad part is even when she is ousted, someone else will quickly step in and do similar. US needs to stop being a door mat foreigners wipe the dog poo off their shoe on.
