Rep. Ilhan Omar ordered to pay civil fine, reimburse political campaign funds
KTSP ^ | June 6, 2019 | None listed

U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar must personally pay a $500 civil fine to the State of Minnesota for violating a campaign finance law, the state Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board ordered Thursday.

According to the complaint, Omar must also reimburse her political campaign $3,469 for improperly used campaign funds.

In five occasions, the Omar campaign improperly paid hotel or travel expenses for Omar to attend out-of-state events, the board found. In three other cases, the Omar campaign either failed to note required campaign finance information or lacked documentation to prove the legitimacy of expenses.

The findings are a result of an investigation stemming from multiple complaints filed by state Rep. Steve Drazkowski, R-Mazeppa.

POS Omar issued the following statement on the ruling:

“I’m glad this process is complete and that the Campaign Finance Board has come to a resolution on this matter. We have been collaborative in this process and are glad the report showed that none of the money was used for personal use, as was initially alleged.

“In addition to complying with the Board’s findings, I plan on closing the account from my State House race and distributing the funds to organizations that help train first-time candidates to run for office (Ut, oh, Muzzies are plotting to run more disgusting candidates for Congress)—so that the next generation of candidates and their teams know how to adequately track and report campaign expenses.”

” I also believe we need to dedicate more resources to our campaign finance agencies—and I look forward to supporting these efforts.”


Pssstt.....no one gives a dam what you believe, you Somali POS.............

A huge problem is the creepy rag-head in Congress who describes herself as “an African on a Congressional committee.” You can bet this rag-headed fraud's got a whole bunch of identities......one for every occasion. Tucker Carlson called this Clitless Wonder Muslim woman and self-proclaimd Somali refugee “someone who hates our country” and who came to the U.S. “at public expense,” noting that she “demanding the abolition of ICE, the decriminalization of illegal immigration itself, and an end to all deportation programs. She demands open borders, the unlimited arrival of anyone who wants to come to America, whether they have anything to contribute or not; and taxpayers get to pay for it. And if you don’t want to, according to "the African" you’re a bigot,” Carlson said. Tucker referenced Ilhan Omar as “a symbol of America’s failed immigration system if there ever was one.”

===========================

LOYALTY TO SOMALIA NOT AMERICA---Democrat Omar complained on the floor of the US Congress that President Trump has dramatically intensified American airstrikes in her native Somalia that have killed hundreds of members of the al-Qaeda affiliate al-Shabaab.

REALITY CHECK I guess her Somali BIL gave her the script. Read on.

Omar’s brother-in-law, a Somalia official, tweeted on March 4: “Road to 2020/21 and national issues in #Somalia - current political agreement (4.5) is decaying, yet main governance systems/structures are not in place: constitution is incomplete, justice system poor, security absent, political parties not there...what gives?!”

This is embedded with some sort of creepy Muslim code......probably for more US foreign aid.....
Omar got her BIL a top job in the Somali administration. Read on.

=======================================

Democrat Cong Clyburn said Omar "told him" she was born in Somalia, and had to flee the country to escape Somali violence,
and spent four years in a Kenyan refugee camp before coming to the US.....this according to Clyburn.

===========================================
Then why, as a frightened Somali given refuge in America, did she hurry back to Somalia to get her BIL a job?

================================

This creepy Somali Muslim woman in our Congress has a hidden agenda no one could ever imagine.Omar has world-wide terrorist connections.

BACKSTORY-- Just a few weeks after her election to Minnesota's state legislature,
Ilhan left her American refuge to travel to her homeland she says she "fled in fear".
She was with then-Pres Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, a Somali favorite for re-election.
He reportedly invited her to appear beside him prior to the Somali election taking place.
That's the "frightened lady" pictured chit-chatting, setting up her foreign policy $$$$ Somali agenda.

No Longer "Fearful," elected US state rep Omar Endorsed Somalia’s New President. Four Days Later,
Omar's Brother-in-Law Had a Powerful Job in the Somali Administration. The US foreign aid is about to pour in.

What was the deal she made with the corrupt-ridden Somali govt? Are the violent Somalians she once fled,
privy to US security reports from Omar's current position on the Congressional Foreign Affair Committee?

You better believe it, guys.

==================================

A foray into foreign politics, should have disqualified her from getting US security clearance.

AP reported “several coincidences" suggest a connection between Omar and Elmi. Elmi claims he doesn’t know her

Among them:
<><> Elmi’s LinkedIn account states he went to North Dakota State University.
<><> Omar's resume states she attended North Dakota State University
<><> N/D University records show both Elmi and Omar attended the school from Aug 2010 through May of 2012.
<><> Elmi’s LinkedIn account lists art as a major, which corresponds with N/D university records.
<><> Address Records Show Omar Lived With Husband #1 Throughout Marriage To Brother Elmi.
<><> Growing amount of evidence implicate Omar in multiple federal and state felonies.

===============================

THE CURIOUS CASE OF ILHAN OMAR
2016 marriage to husband #2, her brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi
Something to do with student aid? Federal and state freebies?
Omar and brother attended Fargo at North Dakota State University

Powerline blog ^ | 3-21-19 | Scott Johnson /FR Posted on 3/22/2019, 11:55:10 AM by DeweyCA

Ilhan Omar has refused to answer substantive questions regarding her marriage to husband number 2, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. I think is fair to infer that Elmi is her brother and that she entered the marriage for some dishonest purpose. If so, the dishonest purpose would likely have something to do with student aid while she and Elmi went to college in Fargo at North Dakota State University. If Omar is not Elmi’s sibling, the marriage nevertheless appears to involve some serious dishonesty she has concealed.

I originally raised the question regarding Omar’s marriage to Elmi in 2016. Through a criminal defense attorney, Omar responded by email and called me out: “There are people who do not want an East African, Muslim woman elected to office and who will follow Donald Trump’s playbook to prevent it. Ilhan Omar’s campaign sees your superfluous contentions as one more in a series of attempts to discredit her candidacy.” I took that to be a nondenial denial. Perhaps mistakenly, I drew adverse inferences. I followed up with additional questions for Omar through the criminal defense attorney as the attorney had instructed me to do. Omar did not respond. Perhaps mistakenly, I drew adverse inferences.

By the time the Star Tribune got around to asking Omar about it, she treated the question as a public relations crisis. A Democratic operative was flown in to assist Omar. He spoke on her behalf and issued an unilluminating statement or two in Omar’s name. He continued the personal disparagement that the criminal defense attorney had conveyed to me. When Star Tribune reporter Patrick Coolican called me for a comment, I asked him who they said Elmi was. “They won’t tell me,” he said. Coolican’s August 16, 2016 story is accessible here. Coolican’s August 17 story quotes the formal written statement issued in Omar’s name. Omar campaign spokesman (who is now a state representative), Michael Howard, declared that the formal written statement would be Omar’s last word on the matter.

Beyond the statement Omar would brook no more questions. The subject was closed. Perhaps mistakenly, I drew adverse inferences.

Preya Samsundar picked up the story for the small online Alpha News outlet. Preya was able to follow up on the story in the traditional fashion and through social media. She got a copy of Omar’s 2009 marriage certificate and tracked Elmi down in London. When I met with Preya in 2016, she told me: “I think social media prove without a doubt that there is a familial relationship [between Omar and Elmi] that is not that of a husband and wife.”

As I recall, Preya also told me (I’m stretching my memory here) that the marriage certificate had not been signed by a Muslim cleric, but rather by some non-denominational Christian cleric. Omar continued to decline any responses to Preya’s inquiries as well.

In November 2016, after her election to the Minnesota House of Representatives, Omar did have this to say to a friendly reporter at the local weekly City Pages: ““I look at the soap opera, the shit show of what people might consider to be in their discovery of things, there isn’t anything to what’s being insinuated or anything there to bite me in the ass, What I’m surprised about are… the particular things that are appropriate to insinuate without any legitimacy or facts. I think if certain factors weren’t in play, this wouldn’t be considered acceptable.”

Omar’s implication regarding “certain factors” was more of the same.

Omar was still married to Elmi at the time. Referring to Elmi’s residence in London, Omar also told the City Pages reporter: “There are particular challenges to getting a legal divorce. One of those is getting the cooperation and presence of the other person who you are divorcing.” This is simply false. No cooperation is required. Without any cooperation from Elmi, Omar easily dissolved the marriage in December 2017 as she was preparing to move on to bigger things.

Last year PJ Media New York editor David Steinberg picked up the thread in a series of four investigative columns that ran from August 8 to November 5. They are all accessible here. Omar has never responded to Steinberg’s several requests for comment prior to publication. David has a fifth column in the works. He has also concluded that Elmi is probably Omar’s brother.

UPDATE: Speaking with Preya Samsundar this morning, I was told that the name on the Elmi-Omar marriage certificate is Walecia Harris. In 2016 Preya found Harris’s name associated with an Eden Prairie church. Shortly thereafter she found a Hennepin County employee with the Walecia Harris nameplate on her desk at the Hennepin County Ridgedale office. Asked about the Elmi-Omar wedding, Harris said she knew nothing.

I want to emphasize Omar and Elmi may not be brother and sister, but Omar has never acted in any manner other than one consistent with the implication that she has something to hide. I don’t know for a fact what it is. I do infer, however, that she is hiding something.

Wrong congresswoman. AOC never saw a garage disposal until her latest house. I guess people in poor areas don’t have them.
