Ilhan Omar has paid $878G to new husband’s consulting firm, data show: report
‘It should not be allowed,’ a former White House ethics lawyer said of the business arrangement
By Dom Calicchio | Fox News July 8, 2020:
When U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar got remarried in March following her divorce, the Minnesota Democrat tied the knot with a man who was a member of her political consulting team.
Now, campaign data show Omar has paid Tim Mynett’s consulting firm a total of more than $878,000 since 2018 — including $189,000 just weeks after the couple announced they were husband and wife, the New York Post reported.
In the first quarter of this year, Mynett’s E Street Group has received more than $292,000 from Omar’s campaign for digital advertising, fundraising consulting and research services, the Star Tribune of Minneapolis reported in April, citing data from the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
ILHAN OMAR CALLS FOR DISMANTLING AMERICA’S ‘SYSTEM OF OPPRESSION’
Payments for 2019 totaled more than $500,000, the Star Tribune reported.
Omar’s campaign is her husband’s firm’s biggest client by far, Open Secrets data suggest – with E Street Group receiving about one-third of all the Democrat’s campaign cash, the Washington Examiner reported.
The arrangement is possible because of a 1960s federal anti-nepotism statute that prohibits members of Congress from hiring relatives for government jobs but does not block family members from doing campaign work, a former chief ethics lawyer from the administration of former President George W. Bush told The New York Post.
“It should not be allowed,” attorney Richard Painter said. “I think it’s a horrible idea to allow it, given the amount of money that goes into these campaigns from special interests.”
“It should not be allowed. I think it’s a horrible idea to allow it, given the amount of money that goes into these campaigns from special interests.”
Other lawmakers with spouses doing campaign work for them include U.S. Rep. Mike Doyle, D-Pa., and U.S. Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., the Post reported.
Neither Omar nor her husband’s firm immediately responded to the Post’s requests for comment, according to the newspaper.
A Virginia-based conservative group called the National Legal and Policy Center filed a complaint against Omar last year, after it was disclosed that Omar and Mynett were lovers. The group sought an FEC investigation.
If the FEC does investigate, Omar and Mynett will have to prove that Omar is paying market-based rates for E Street Group’s services, without the prices being inflated “to fluff up their income,” Washington-based political lawyer Cleta Mitchell told the Post.

ALSO OFF-TOPIC:
The Geek community is also under attack by SJWs.
And a group of geek Youtubers referred to as “The Fandom Menace” are rebelling; and usually devote their videos blasting Hollywood and SJWs.
many are either center-left or casual libertarian; but are often accused of being Alt-Right.
they do not like BLM or Metoo. and they can’t stand celebrities with TDS. Their movement is growing.
Just to name a few:

We now return to our regularly scheduled posts of trashing Muslim Nationalists and Democrats:
Omar is like a marital serial-killer.
Most psychos or socio-paths usually follow a pattern.

It seems when you are a DemoNazi the law does not apply to you. You can marry your brother, lie on immigration forms, spout treason, and steal money hand over fist, and nothing is done.
There aren’t two laws in this country; there is trumped up law applied to Republicans And none for DemoNazis.
The FBI and DOJ are appendages of the DemoNazi Party! Don’t look for justice in America. It died with Monica Lewinsky’s blue dress.

This story has been around for quite a while, along with obvious wrongdoing such as lying on her immigrant papers, her brother’s immigrant application, funny money transactions with her election run, and funny money transactions as congress woman. Yet nothing has been done or investigated.

I’ll bet democrats and republicans both have been running this scam a long time. Ilhan is just too brazen and stupid to hide it, because she feels protected.

It is normal behavior in Somalia and Sudan. Lying, cheating the Government, bribery, bigamy, incest and cronyism is normal life. She probably wonders what all the fuss is about.

Yes, that’s very true. Take Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). A landlocked country but was producing so much food they could export. A sound economy, strong on education, low unemployment, foreign debt. Since independence, its the begging bowl of Africa, hyper inflation, military crackdowns on opposition, etc. The Zimbabwean people have now been reduced to defying their government and finding new, inventive ways of staying alive. South Africa is the same story. But its all okay, because they have a vote and land, lol. But they are starving and if they don’t get the food aid (mainly from America) they will die of starvation. BLM are too busy biting the hand that feeds them to worry about the zimbos.

This is how most politicians get rich, funneling campaign contribution money. Biden took it to the next level using Hunter as a front to shake down countries for cash. That’s why they never retire. Once rats get a taste of the cheese they keep coming back for more.
