AN OMAR SIDESHOW
POWERLINE ^ | 11/26/2019 | John Hinderaker

Posted on 11/27/2019 9:36:44 PM PST by bitt

For the past several weeks a deposition transcript has been floating around implicating Ilhan Omar as a Qatari asset. Bona fide news outlets have hesitated to report on the allegations without some confirmation. Now the Jerusalem Post has stepped forward to serve up the story without confirmation. Al Arabiya English does likewise here. A spokesman for Omar has dignified the story with an outright denial that is included by the Post in its account.

When Omar is unable to deal with the facts, she instructs her spokesman to avoid the question on her behalf. That is how she handled the Star Tribune when pressed for its story this past June 23. Omar’s statement to the Star Tribune this past June echoed the one she gave me in 2016.

I should add, however, that Omar’s testimony in the campaign finance board investigation that occasioned the Star Tribune story is a farrago of lies in which Omar makes it up as she goes along. I posted the transcript of Omar’s testimony in part 8 of the series “From the mixed-up files of Rep. Ilhan Omar.”

In any event, my friend David Steinberg isn’t buying the Qatar story (tweet below). I’m with David.

It doesn’t mean sh*t unless the mainstream media reports it.

So the Democrats have to deal with a lie that spreads around the world before the truth wakes up in the morning.

I'm not fretting over it.

But it's nice to see the MSM showing some restraint before publishing unverified rumors for a change.

When trying to recruit spies, no one tells recruits the name of their top spy and how they became the top spy.

[[Bona fide news outlets have hesitated to report on the allegations without some confirmation. ]]

But yet ‘bona fide news outlets’ have no issues reporting on anything President Trump related even though they have no proof or confirmation

So Hinderaker isn’t buying the story that she’s a Qatari agent then.

I think the Jerusalem post confirmed that there was testimony offered to a Florida court in the trial of Ilhan’s brother, that she was a Qatari asset.

But the veracity of the testimony itself has not been confirmed. A Canadian by the name of Bender, I think Alan Bender, offered the testimony. No idea what his role in the trial is.

What are you talking about? That is SOP for the MSM when it concerns a Democrat, and that is doubled if it is a black female Muslim. 8>)

I mean without s scintilla's worth of proof they immediately jumped on the lie that President Trump was Putin's chump.

Last treason death sentence was Civil War. Most recent convictions have led to around 10-year sentences. Many crimes (like espionage) are treated more seriously.
