Ilhan Omar is in big trouble and she has no one to blame but herself. Fresh off her second divorce in a few short years – what is wrong with the Dems? – she now faces a serious investigation into her alleged abuse of campaign funds.
If you recall, Omar misused campaign funds in Minnesota and paid fines for her multiple violations.
It appears, at least from the complaint filed by Peter Flaherty, that she is up to the same tricks in Congress.
Look, we have rules for a reason and if Omar broke them she should face the consequences.
From The Daily Mail: ‘If Ilhan for Congress reimbursed Mynett’s LLC for travel so that Rep. Omar would have the benefit of Mynett’s romantic companionship, the expenditure must be considered personal in nature,’ he wrote.
‘Federal Election Commission regulations prohibit the use of campaign funds for personal expenses collateral to travel…unless personal funds are used to reimburse the committee,’ he added.
But whether the probe ever gets underway is up in the air due to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s refusal to schedule hearings to confirm new members of the agency, tasked with enforcing campaign finance laws.
‘This is a matter of frustration,’ Peter Flaherty, the man who brought the complaint against Omar told DailyMail.com.
Ilhan for Congress paid The E Street Group more than $222,000 between August last year and July when DailyMail.com exclusively revealed the affair between Omar and Mynett.
It paid him a whopping $92,746 in July, and in August and September the company pocketed another $54,000, according to figures filed with the FEC. She has until November 20 to file her October figures.
‘If you total her expenditure, about one-third of it went to E Street,’ Flaherty told DailyMail.com. He also said the committee erred by not splitting travel expenses from fundraising.
‘A disbursement can be a ”travel” expense or a ”fundraising” expense but it cannot be both, even if the travel is in conjunction with fundraising activities.’
He claimed both Omar’s campaign and Mynett’s company ‘either continue to disregard the law or misunderstand it.’
‘There continues to be reporting problems,’ Flaherty told DailyMail.com. ‘But the bigger issue is her veracity and credibility.
‘She said she wasn’t having an affair but now, based on DailyMail.com’s reporting it looks like she wasn’t telling the truth.’
David Mitrani, a lawyer who acts for both Omar’s campaign and the E Street Group originally dismissed Flaherty’s complaint, calling it ‘nothing more than blustering to attempt to create the appearance of legal jeopardy when there is none.’
‘The parties have at all times complied with federal campaign finance law,’ Mitrani said.
I'd like to know by whom?
Katie Hill II.
Bust her sorry a@& and that degenerate AIDE of hers as well!
Female muslim. #1 in victim (of white people) scale. nothing happens
Doesn’t matter. Investigations of Rat politicians take about 15 minutes to clear them of all wrongdoing.
Can we apply Sharia law in this case and chop off her hands for stealing?
And who is investigating. Adam Schiff?
What about her lawless marriage to her brother and the tax/immigration/tuition frauds she was involved with?
Nothing permeates Muslim teflon.
How Western imperialist of us to be accusing the Saint from Somalia of any financial malfeasance!
Pffffft, the media and the establishment loves her. There will be no penalty.
A repeat offender and habitual criminal. Typical third world trash.
What I want to know is, if the guy had an affair with Omar, how did he ever get the stench off of him?
It doesn’t count as sex or personal enjoyment if you’ve undergone FGM, so payments are legal.
Just for good measure, put a ham sandwich on her head.
No intent.
Next.
And........so............???
A rabid anti-Semite Mohammedan who practiced infidelity with an infidel campaigning for a white, Jewish, Socialist Presidential candidate. Not sure who is the worst hypocrite: The one offering support, or the one accepting the support.
Does Sharia apply to jihadi sluts?
Frog Mitch " I'm incapable of defending the President because I am a GOON" McConnell won't investigate anything. Not going to happen in our lifetime. He's the original "Get Along with everybody" Pansy.
