Ilhan Omar’s Campaign Committee Pays Nearly 300k to Husband’s Firm

o member of the so-called “Squad” is a stranger to controversy, but Ilhan Omar continues taking it to the next level.

Just last month Omar announced her marriage to Tim Mynett on Instagram after denying that the two had a relationship for months. Mynett’s prior wife alleged in court papers that he walked out on their marriage after admitting to having an affair with Omar, which Omar denied. Omar filed for divorce from her prior husband Ahmed Hirsi less than two months before the affair allegations were brought to light.

Between October and December of last year, Omar’s campaign committees paid Mynett’s firm E Street Group $215,000, more than half of total disbursements over that time period (most of which was after her campaign was over). In total, E Street Group received $525,000 from Omar’s campaign, or forty percent of her campaign’s overall spending.

Had the two been married at the time, that would’ve immediately raised red flags (and still could now). Omar had previously been ordered to reimburse her campaign $3,500 after the Minnesota Campaign Finance Board found she illegally used campaign funds in 2016 and 2017. She was also fined $500. The violating payments included reimbursements for personal travel expenses, in addition to hiring a law firm for services related to an inquiry into her personal tax returns.

Soon-after she was hit with an FEC complaint in late August for allegedly using her campaign to illegally reimburse the travel expenses of Mynett. The complaint was filed one day after Mynett’s wife alleged the affair. Travel expenses totaled over $21,000 and were not itemized, which is required.

And now, there’s more!

This sounds very familiar. Have other politicians spent their campaign funds to others in their families, and claim that the expenditures are legitimate campaign expenses?

This sounds familiar as a technique for giving money to those with connections to the politicians.

Tim Mynett must have an affection for goats.

He soon will be a suffering ba$tard of the first order.

Christian-hating, conniving Muslims are lurking in our political system, lying in wait, like common criminals, to overthrow the US govt.

They are “the enemy within” and have studied our system well.

Its creepy hearing these Muzzies mouth-off American platitudes they clearly despise.

The Muslim political creeps are two-faced:
<><> presenting a secular Western persona but only when it is expedient.
<><> hostility to American values, to Christian citizens, our govt, and our societal norms behind closed doors.


Must read link: German “humanitarian” learns truths about Muslims.......to her infinite regret.

https://arbeitsgruppefluchtundmenschenrechte.wordpress.com

Too bad she got woked the hard way....thru horrendous personal experiences.

BTW, she mentions Muslim Somali refugees as the worst of the worst.

Being a Democrat, she should

1. Ignore the accusation. If that fails,
2. call it a lie. If that fails,
3. dismiss it as a right wing hit job. If that fails,
4. claim that “everybody does it”. If that fails,
5. say it’s racist.

Or, she can just skip right to Step 5. No consequences, in any case.

Bernie Sanders wife and daughter run the advertising for his presidential campaign and he funneled millions to them each time he ran.

What more is this is right out in the open. And we just let them keep doing it.

DOJ is missing in action.

We just need to shoot them all and start over from the beginning.

Exactly so! This has been going on since Adam & Eve left the garden...

Why else would anyone, who knows they are not even remotely electable, consider campaigning for a taxpayer-paid office...

Earlier she had $1 million transferred to a LLC that does not have to disclose anything. She started stealing the moment she ran for office and has not stopped. See article below.
