In the Feeding our Fraud case: The bribery indictment

In a dramatic press conference this morning, United States Attorney Andrew Luger announced indictments for the bribery of Juror 52 in the first of the Feeding Our Future fraud trials held in federal court here. On the evening of June 2, as the case was set to conclude, a Somali woman dropped off a Hallmark gift package with $120,000 in cash at the home of Juror 52. When Juror 52 returned home, she called the authorities and turned over the bag of cash.

This morning Luger announced the indictment of three defendants in the Feeding Our Fraud case that was tried to conclusion: Abdiaziz Farah, Abdimajid Nur, and Said Farah. Said Farah supplied the cash. Also charged were Abdulkarim Farah (brother of the other Farahs charged) and Ladan Ali, the mystery woman who had been recruited by Nur from Seattle to deliver the cash. ...

Said Farah was one of the two defendants acquitted at trial. All five of the defendants charged in the bribe case this morning are in custody or to be taken into custody. The three Farah brothers are to make their first appearance on the charges in St. Paul this afternoon.

A note with the cash delivered to Juror 52 read: “You alone can end the case.” She was picked out by defendants because she was the youngest member of the jury and nonwhite. The note played on her sympathies and set forth the arguments she was to use with the jurors to arrive at an acquittal in the course of deliberations — the defendants were being picked on because of their race and status as immigrants. “We are immigrants: they don’t respect and care about us…” etc.

Who's calling the shots?

Minnesota legislator (now a Congreesman) Ilhan Omar and
her husband meet with Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud

Ilhan Omar meets with President Mohamud at Villa Somalia
Mohamud later gave Omar's husband a high-paying job in his govt

Mogadishu (HOL) - Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud met with Ilhan Omar, a member of the Minnesota House of Representatives in the United States on Tuesday at Villa Somalia. Accompanied by her husband, Ilhan Omar was welcomed to the presidential palace by Abdirahman Osman.

Ilhan Omar is the first Somali-American legislator in the history of the United States. She was born in Mogadishu before fleeing to a Kenyan refugee camp on the onset of the Somali civil war. President Mohamud thanked Ilhan for visiting her motherland and congratulated her on victory this past November. The pair met briefly and discussed the political atmosphere in Somalia including upcoming elections. During their meeting, Ms. Omar welcomed the 30% quota allocated for women in parliament and urged the President to do anything in his power to achieve that benchmark.

A little known, easily verifiable fact:
“Omar” is not Ilhan’s real name. She’s Ilhan Said Nur. Everything about this woman indicates a lie, fraud, and spy, in my book.
Notice the names of the arrested parties, strange huh?
