Biden's nominee was busted for shoplifting in 1995: she'll be among colleagues if confirmed

A 1995 police report indicates new details about co-President Biden's nominee, Saule Omarova, to be comptroller of the currency's "retail theft" arrest. She is Biden's pick to head the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and also has a love affair with Marxism.

Omarova was 28 years old at the time of her arrest for "retail theft" from a T.J. Maxx store in Madison, Wisconsin. She was caught with $214 worth of goods sold at the greedy capitalist retailer before being bagged by the store's security agent who filed the report.

The report states that Omarova tried to make off with four pairs of shoes, two bottles of cologne. two belts and socks when she was nailed.

The T.J. Maxx security agent on duty told police that he saw Omarova take the items by placing them into a large purse and covering them with other clothing items to obscure the stolen items, and it is unknown as to whether the large purse in which she was attempting to pilfer the merchandise was also stolen from another capitalist establishment.

The security agent attested that the thieving woman paid for several items at the jewelry counter but "made no attempt to pay for the items concealed in her purse" and confronted her after she left the store with the stolen items because in order to determine if it was planning to steal it, he had to wait until she crossed the threshold of the exit.

The quick thinking Omarova "immediately requested the opportunity to pay for the items" and was "cooperative" as the security agent said he would "sign a complaint" about the items being taken "without his consent."

The responding police officer read Omarova her rights, which she "waived," according to the police report, and then "admitted to have stolen the items."

"It should be noted that I advised Omarova she was under arrest prior to having read her rights," the officer wrote.

The White House defended Omarova's nomination. After all, who better to defend a thief than Joe Biden and his administration? They told the outlet that she had been "fully transparent" about the attempt to acquire merchandise without paying for the items. They even tried to pull it off as a "result of a misunderstanding and confusing situation."

Yes, putting items in an oversize bag, covering it with other items to avoid detection, and leaving the store without paying for the items was too confusing for Omarova, but heading up the OCC is a piece of cake, or in her case, a plate of borscht. 

A Wisconsin Department of Justice background check previously obtained by Fox News lists Omarova as having a deferred prosecution in January 1996 for the charge, which was dropped through the Wisconsin first offender program.

At least we know that if she gets confirmed, she'll be among colleagues and fellow comrades.
