Ilhan Omar slipped another $150K to her alleged paramour's consulting firm

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) paid an additional $150,000 to Tim Mynett's political consulting firm a mere 3 months after it was revealed by The New York Post. It has been alleged, according to records, that Mynett is schtupping Omar and had been doing so while she was married, this time, not to her brother.

The 37-year-old anti-Semitic congresswoman’s campaign has funneled $146,712.63 to Mynett’s E Street Group since The New York Post reported allegations in August that she was having an affair with her paid consultant.

The latest payments to Mynett’s group were for digital advertising, fundraising consulting and video production. He did not charge her for his other service to her.

When news of the alleged adulterous shenanigans broke, Omar had already paid $223,000 through her campaign since 2018 for fundraising consulting, internet advertising, digital communications, and travel expenses to the E Street Group. The latest grand total is now $370,000.

However, the federal agency slated to probe the campaign finance complaint [against the woman who said of the 911 attacks in 2001 that "some people did something"] is unable to act due to lack of commissioners on the bench to investigate the matter. So Omar did something and apparently will get away with it.

Both Omar and her "alleged" lover Mynett have denied the allegations in Beth Mynett’s divorce papers that states the consultant dumped his wife in April because he was having an affair with the Somali-born [Jew-hater] woman.

In October, Omar filed for divorce from her husband, [who in this case is not her biological brother who she previously divorced] Ahmed Hirsi amid the affair allegations — claiming the marriage was “irretrievable.” The split was finalized on Nov. 5 of this year.

Conservative watchdog the National Legal and Policy Center filed a complaint against Omar with the Federal Election Commission in the wake of the bombshell report — seeking a probe into whether the Democrat used campaign funds to rendezvous [for coitus] with her "alleged" lover.

The Federal Elections Commission requires at least four members to vote on complaints but currently have only three of six commissioner slots filled. Thus they are impotent to do anything about the complaint.

The FEC complaint focused on the fact that more than $12,673.43 of the payments to Mynett were simply labelled “travel expenses” — a potential breach of campaign finance law which states that travel expenses be itemized.

“Our question is whether this was necessary travel or whether she was just bringing her boyfriend along for the company,” NLPC Chairman Peter Flaherty said in August.

FEC spokesman Christian Hilland on Friday said the agency was still open for business but needed the US Senate to confirm a fourth member until it begins investigating campaign finance violations again.

“We are willing to accept reports but we are not able to move forward with any investigatory matters,” he said.

Meanwhile, Omar is free to be obnoxious and anti-Semitic.

Aunty Maxine pressed on FEC audit over fundraising shenanigans

California Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters, named the most corrupt member of Congress 4 times may be going for a new record of 5 times a loser as she is facing another complaint about an obscure fundraising tactic. It rakes in thousands from state politicians who then are listed on her slate mailers in exchange for the money. This time it involves supporters of a former Los Angeles mayor who lost in the June gubernatorial primary.

Holy moly Batman . . . that's beginning to sound like a Hillary Clinton ploy, except without a foundation shelter to cover her butt.

The National Legal and Policy Center, a conservative watchdog group, filed the complaint with the FEC against Waters, her campaign and a pro-charter school group called Families and Teachers for Antonio Villaraigosa. This group backed the former Democratic mayor of Los Angeles.

The pro-charter school group paid $25 thousand to the Citizens for Waters Committee on May 25th to include Villaraigosa in the slate mailer, according to the complaint. But the FEC guidelines say only a candidate's committee is permitted to pay for the mailers--sample ballots are mailed out to about 200,000 voters in LA and it indicates who Waters supports.

This is not the first time Waters' mailers faced scrutiny. Since 2004, Waters paid her daughter Karen Waters, or her public relations firm Progressive Connections, to produce, print and mail the sample ballots. Her mailers have faced scrutiny since 2010.

Legally, candidates are not buying an endorsement but are paying a reimbursement for the slate mailer. But it's very hard to prove whether Waters is endorsing the candidate as a result of the payment or if already endorsed candidates are paying for their share. And Waters is as slippery as an eel swimming through Crisco.

Worse, the mailers can be a loophole to get around federal campaign contribution limits. The watchdog group's FEC complaint, the second against Aunty Maxine since July, is asking for a full audit of her campaign.

The complaint filed Thursday morning said:

"Since the commission has given federal campaigns broad discretion involving slate mailers it is imperative the issues cited in this complaint are fully investigated and all penalties and fines that may result from a finding that the Citizen for Waters campaign was in violation of the statutes cited should be applied in full."

Neither Waters nor her campaign responded to phone calls and email inquiries fo this report. This surprises no one.
