“The Board recommends that the committee dismiss the above allegation concerning Rep. Omar because there is not substantial reason to believe that Rep. Omar reported false or incomplete information in her financial disclosures,” a report on the case says.

A disclosure filed last year showed Omar and her husband had assets of between $6 million and $30 million, a massive rise in wealth from her previous annual filing. That jump triggered questions among Republicans eager to scrutinize a critic of President Trump.

But an amended filing addressing major accounting errors in her initial document dramatically dialed back the couple’s assets to just $18,004 to $95,000. The forms don’t require exact values, only broad ranges.

Omar’s husband, former political consultant Tim Mynett, is involved with several businesses, including a venture-capital management firm in Washington, D.C., and a...

Democrats never commit any crime. Omar could strangle her children after sending her husband out for takeout and not see a day in jail

And yet Trump was put on trial because Real Estate expert Tish James said he over estimated the worth of his property on a financial loan application.

Someone tell me why these people always get away with everything. Who lets a piece of crap like her off the hook all the time?

I am so tired of government crooks.

"Nonpartisan..... confidential....."

 

Bastards. All of DC is filled with corrupt CYA crooks who cannot even censure the worst POS in Congress today.

I’m glad that you posted that, because that is what I was thinking.

I believe precisely none of this.

And, am I missing something or do Democratic Socialists always seem to get away with apparent crimes?

Let's see... Edward Kennedy, Hillary Clinton, Hunter Biden, Mister Fauci, Eric Swalwell, Mark Kelly and so on down a longer list.

Seems well represented with an equal balance of male and female members backed up by a staff with mostly unpronounceable names from unidentifiable ethnicity’s.

Nothing to give cause for raising of suspicions here citizen. Please just move on.

How much money do you think it takes to keep these drones around?
