After Venezuela exchange, the case grows for throwing Ilhan Omar off House Foreign Affairs Committee
American Thinker ^ | 02/14/2019 | Monica Showalter

Posted on 02/14/2019 7:56:24 AM PST by SeekAndFind

The unfitness of Rep. Ilhan Omar for the House Foreign Affairs Committee has already been brought up based on her persistent anti-Semitism, her strange habit of repeating Russian propaganda, and her apparent abuse of U.S. immigration law. Now a new and very big reason has come up: Her cringe-inducing ignorance of actual foreign affairs. 

In a hearing on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Omar got her big moment to show her foreign policy chops, and started in by misstating the actual name of the State Department's grizzled old special envoy for Venezuela, the well-known Elliott Abrams, calling him 'Adams.' Then, sneering and smiling weirdly, she brought up a tangled political controversy Abrams had been involved in, the Iran-Contra scandal, dating from before she was born and cited that as proof Abrams could not be "truthful." After insulting her witness, she then insolently refused to allow Abrams to reply, and Abrams, who comported himself very professionally, accurately called that an attack.

Here's a perfectly curated tweet with video from Scott Johnson of Power Line:

Mr. Adams [sic], in 1991 you pleaded guilty to two counts of withholding information from Congress regarding your involvement in the Iran-Contra affair, for which you were later pardoned by President H. W. Bush. I fail to understand why members of this committee or the American people any testimony that you give today to be truthful.

If she claimed he couldn't be truthful and insisted the whole declaration "was not a question," why was she asking him anything at all? You don't talk to people you don't think are truthful, nobody does. But there she was, carrying on after that attack when she should have departed the scene immediately.

After marrying her brother in an immigration scam, she should have her citizenship revoked and be deported.

Trump needs to have this one's immigration papers scrutinized under a microscope.....plus every document relating to her campaign and personal history.

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

Address Records Show Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) Lived With First Husband Throughout Marriage To Brother;
CIRCA 2018--Growing amount of evidence implicates Omar in multiple federal and state felonies

P.J. Media ^ | October 30, 2018 | David Steinberg / FR / FR Posted by grundle

Keep in mind...falsifying official documents is the preferred criminal method to cover-up larger crimes.

REFERENCE--Falsifying Government Documents. involves altering, changing, or modifying a document for the purpose of deception.......can also involve forgery and/or passing copies of false documents. Falsifying documents is usually done in connection with broader criminal aims, such as extortion, government fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, financing terrorism........

Types of documents commonly falsified may include:

◾Tax returns and income statements

◾Personal checks

◾Bank account records

◾Business record keeping books

◾Immigration documents (such as visas, passports, etc.)

◾Identification cards and birth certificates

Many different types of acts can be considered as falsifying a document, including:

◾Altering or misrepresenting factual information such as prices or monetary amounts

◾Stating false information when requested to provide truthful statements

◾Forging a signature

◾Using official letterheads without authorization

◾Concealing assets or property WRT obtaining federal/state grants))

◾Knowingly using or distributing a fake document

A person can only be held criminally liable if they are deliberately acting with the intention of deceiving or defrauding another party.

Falsifying documents is a very serious offense and is generally classified as a felony. This means that a person charged with falsifying documents may be subject to the following legal penalties:

◾Having to pay a monetary fine

◾Incarceration in a prison facility

Depending on the gravity of the offense, as well as individual state laws, falsifying documents can result in a prison sentence of 5-10 years. Also, if government documents or authorities were involved, the legal penalties may be more severe. ..... legal penalties may increase with repeat offenses.

The penalty for falsifying government documents is outlined in the Crimes Act of 1958.

The media will do its best to pile on Omar to make the Democrats look proactive in tackling anti-Semitism in their ranks. Too late. Did someone forget about the CBC and their love fest with those known friends of Israel and American Jews in Louis Farrakhan, Al Sharpton and Jesse “Hymietown” Jackson! The Jew hate in the RAT Party is out in the open for everyone to see. The RATs are in a pickle over this one. American Muslims are gonna be heaping mad at their RAT allies if Omar is kicked off the Foreign Relations Committee!

A skinny from Blackhawk down on the Foreign Affairs committee sitting in evaluation of America’s foreign policy. What could possibly go wrong?

We’ve gone from Pakistani spies running the IT department to putting that smirking ass right on the committee.

Thanks Bush the idiot, thanks Obama. Each of them let in around 800,000 moslems after 9/11

"Trump needs to have this one's immigration papers scrutinized under a microscope"

Yeah. Too bad we don't have a competent, reliable, trustworthy organization to investigate Democrats as hard as they do Repubs...

She is not to be trusted with and confidential and especially secret intel. Throw her Muslim ass off the committee and then expel her from the Congress.

That female Air Force Officer that defected to IRAN with all our Middle East CIA officers names and Internet links is just one fine example of how we cannot trust a MUSLIM ANYWHERE IN OUR GOVERNMENT......................
