“She’s not fearing a backlash. She’s fearing a lawsuit and/or prosecution.”

Bingo. Money/legal cost talks for all of these noble proggies.

Deleting tweets could be considered tampering with or withholding evidence.

Depending on when and where she did this, she may have Congressional immunity.

But I’d dearly love to see that put to the test.

Does a tweet have Congressional immunity if you’re standing in the Capitol when you send it?

Sounds like a case that could tie-up our entire Federal court system for the next thirteen years.

I say tie it up. A House or Senate seat has become a get-out-of-jail-free card.

“A House or Senate seat has become a get-out-of-jail-free card.”

And that’s BS!

I want released the names of all congresscritters that paid out hush money.

Her husband/brother admonished her from bringing dishonor to his House. :)

Given Omar’s propensity for fraud, it is imperative that L/E determine:
(A) her membership in violent Somali organizations advocating the overthrow of the US govt,
(B) her knowledge of groups that pulled off the Minn daycare thievery, and,
(C) whether the daycare fraud money financed her campaign,
(d) the number of US govt checks she is cashing now or has cashed in the past.
Americans demand this person be ousted from OUR Congress.
This woman seems adept at finagling her identity.....how many identities is she using?
Is she using multiple identities to cheat taxpayers....collecting US freebies under multiple identities?
Universal Program for Subsidized Phones for Low Income (ObamaPhones),
Housing Assistance-—they get $1000, only use $400, taxpayers pay the rest;
EBT Food Stamps (SNAP),
ObamaCare Subsidies for Immigrants,
ObamaCare Subsidies for Low Income, Medicaid,
TANF Welfare,
Energy Assistance,
IRS-EITC,
General Assistance Cash,
Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP),
Assets for Independence,
School Lunch Block Grant,
Job Assistance,
Job Training,
Minority Job Assistance,
Job Relocation,
Woman Infants and Children’s Program,
Refugee Jobs Program,
Needy Families Cash Assistance,
Migrant Education Grants,
Title One Grants to Local Education Authorities,
Social Security for Refugees


It is imperative that we determine
(A) her membership in Somali organizations advocating the overthrow of the US govt,
(B) her knowledge of the groups that pulled off the daycare thievery, and,
(C) whether the daycare fraud money financed her campaign,
the number of US govt checks she is cashing now or has has cashed in the past.

Any infraction of US law disqualifies her from being in Congress.

ACTION NOW:

Call President Trump: Comments: 202-456-1111 Switchboard: 202-456-1414

US CONGRESS SWITCHBOARD: (202) 224-3121

U.S. Department of Justice Comment Line: 202-353-1555 Switchboard: 202-514-2000

FBI tip line web site——https://www.fbi.gov/tips

Demographics of Minnesota: “Over 85.0% of Minnesota’s residents are of European descent, with the largest reported ancestries being German (38.6%), Norwegian (17.0%), Irish (11.9%), and Swedish (9.8%). The Hispanic population of Minnesota is increasing, much like in other parts of the United States and recent immigrants have come from all over the world, including Hmong, Somalis, Vietnamese, and emigrants from the former Soviet bloc.”

Americans demand this person not be seated in OUR Congress if she knew anything at all about this ripoff of
taxpayers-——the shocking $300 million Minnesota daycare thievery......and the amount of fraud money that possibly financed her campaign.

“This is libel. Retract, or get sued,” Las Vegas attorney Robert Barnes tweeted.

**********

I saw those tweets this morning, but now Barnes’ also appears to be gone.

If he did indeed word it “retract”, then just deleting it would not be enough. Deleting is not retracting.

We’re infiltrated by them on so many levels, it’s scary.

It is. But only a few of us seem to care. The vast majority sail along blissfully like the Captain of the Titanic.

Another reason to ban all immigration

More people are not needed here . . . more pollution, more problems, more crime, more loss of habitat, more congestion, more language/culture issues, more TERRORISM, more DRUGS

Wake up, America . . . .NO MAS

Don’t forget that the Quran has seven verses which tells Muslims they are supposed to kill infidels.

Facing a lawsuit; she's too stupid to avail herself of the House floor, where our "representatives" automagically have immunity.

at even a hint of impropriety, Republicans resign while Democrats just shrug. And we let it go. Why is that?

If this woman was a moral individual she would resign from public office.
