Ilhan Omar's marriage: season two

Far-left progressive-progressive and anti-Semite extraordinaire, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) allegedly married her brother for immigration purposes, married another guy before getting a divorce from her brother, and is engaged in an affair with a married man who worked with her campaign while she was married as well.

Now there are new details from a British publication claiming that the Trump-hating trollop is paying off her ex-husband to keep his mouth shut about her alleged affair.

According to The Daily Mail, Ahmed Hirsi, Omar's husband,  “discovered the truth about her torrid affair with her chief fundraiser [Tim Mynett] when he went to her Washington D.C. apartment last spring and found the lovers lounging around in pajamas.”

Multiple sources said that Hirsi left “angry and humiliated” after learning about the affair.

“He suspected she was cheating but she kept telling him he was paranoid,” a source told The Daily Mail. “He told her he wanted to move down to D.C. to be with her but she insisted he should stay in Minneapolis with the children. Eventually he surprised her down there and his worst fears were confirmed.”

Sources told The Daily Mail that Omar allegedly agreed to a financial settlement with Hirsi that would pay him tens of thousands of dollars per year, up to $250,000 total, “but only if he did not speak publicly about the marriage breakdown.”

Sources in the Minnesota Somali community in Omar’s district say that she has “embarrassed” them and that they have lost faith in her due to her alleged infidelity, her decision to hold an event at a distillery [alcohol is forbidden in Islam except in Jannah, or Paradise where the rivers flow with wine], and her stance on LGBTQ rights [homosexuality and lesbianism is strictly forbidden in Islam and is punishable by death].

“It’s almost as if she is deliberately trying to turn her Somali supporters against her,” a source told the outlet. “She is as a figurehead for us, the most famous Somali in America and she had embarrassed us. She is the face of the Somali community.”

Omar has funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars of campaign donations to Mynett, according to Federal Election Committee (FEC) records, and this has gone unpunished or even seriously examined due to fears by officials of Islamophobia.

The anti-Semitic congresswoman's new committee filings submitted Friday morning show that between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31, 2019, her committee made $215,000 in additional payments to the E Street Group, a firm run by political consultant Tim Mynett, Omar’s alleged boyfriend. The payments were reported as going toward consulting, direct mail, research services, travel expenses, advertisements, and graphic design. In other words, for services rendered. 

The committee reported hauling in $403,000 in individual contributions while disbursing $404,000 over the last three months of 2019. The $215,000 paid to Omar's alleged paramour's group for its services accounts for 53 percent of the total disbursements from the campaign during this time.

Over the first three quarters of 2019, Omar’s campaign paid out a total of $310,000 to Mynett's E Street Group. Accounting for the fourth-quarter payments, his firm raked in a total of $525,000 from Omar’s campaign in 2019.

The latest developments to emerge from her alleged marital affair are separate from the allegations that she allegedly married her brother, proving, if true, that she is a low-life.

The FBI is currently examining evidence it has obtained pertaining to the alleged marriage,  according to The New York Post.

The newspaper also reported that the FBI was planning on sharing its findings with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials and the U.S. Department of Education.

Will Ilhan Omar get convicted of immigration fraud, and/or campaign finance fraud?

Of course not. What, are you Islamophobic or something?

Messages show Tlaib asked campaign for personal money

Famous for screaming that she plans to "impeach the mother****er!" [referring to the President of the United States], Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) has her own problems. Internal messages were discovered allegedly sent in 2018 in which she asked her congressional campaign for personal money.

This is a potential crime. People don't contribute to political campaigns to buy groceries and pay the rent for candidates.

The announcement came in response to a referral that the committee received from the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE), which alleges that: “Rep. Tlaib’s campaign committee, Rashida Tlaib for Congress, reported campaign disbursements that may not be legitimate and verifiable campaign expenditures attributable to bona fide campaign or political purposes. If Rep. Tlaib converted campaign funds from Rashida Tlaib for Congress to personal use, or if Rep. Tlaib’s campaign committee expended funds that were not attributable to bona fide campaign or political purposes, then Rep. Tlaib may have violated House rules, standards of conduct, and federal law.”

Fortunately for her, nothing will likely happen because people in Congress and Hillary Clinton, are above the law. In other words, the law means as much to them as the white line on a road in India means to traffic.

The OCE recommends that Tlaib be investigated “because there is substantial reason to believe that Rep. Tlaib converted campaign funds from Rashida Tlaib for Congress to personal use or Rep. Tlaib’s campaign committee expended funds that were not attributable to bona fide campaign or political purposes.”

“I am struggling financially right now. … I am sinking,” Tlaib wrote on April 4, 2018, later adding, “So I was thinking the campaign could loan me money, but Ryan said that the committee could actually pay me. I was thinking a one time payment of 5k.”

Hey, she's a progressive, so the money is owed her for her position in government.

In another email dated April 27, 2018, Tlaib wrote, “I am just not going to make it through the campaign without a stipend. With the loss of a second income to lean back on, I am requesting $2,000 per two weeks but not exceeding $12,000. The cost of living stipend is going towards much needed expenses due to campaigning that includes car maintenance, child care and other necessities.”

Poor baby.

Tlaib is no stranger to controversy as she has repeatedly been in the national spotlight over her anti-Semitic beliefs and statements. She was banned from entering Israel, along with her "squadette" buddy, Ilhan Omar (D-MN) this summer, "stating that the two far-left members of Congress planned to harm Israel, increase incitement against it, and planned to meet with organizations that have expressed support for terrorism against it,” The Daily Wire reported.

Hopefully something will come from this and justice will be done. Maybe we can impeach the mother.

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.

Feds investigate AOC's chief-of-staff after he suddenly resigns

Federal officials are investigating socialist Rep. Alexandria Openly-Communist's (aka AOC) former chief-of-staff and the 'brains' behind her bug eyes, Saikat Chakrabarti, who suddenly resigned his position last week, over allegations that he committed campaign finance violations, big time.

The investigation focuses on two political action committees that the extreme far left Chakrabarti founded — Brand New Congress and Justice Democrats — which were created to promote far-left candidates across the U.S. and the word "Justice" is an oxymoron.

 The New York Post reported: "But they funneled more than $1 million in political donations into two private companies that Chakrabarti also incorporated and controlled, according to Federal Election Commission filings and a complaint filed in March with the regulatory agency. In 2016 and 2017, the PACs raised about $3.3 million, mostly from small donors. A third of the cash was transferred to two private companies whose names are similar to one of the PACs — Brand New Congress LLC and Brand New Campaign LLC — federal campaign filings show."

"While PACs must follow stringent federal rules on disclosure of spending and fundraising, private companies are not subject to the same transparency," The Post added. "Federal authorities are looking at new salary rules imposed by Ocasio-Cortez when she took office earlier this year, and whether they were put in place to let Chakrabarti dodge public financial disclosure rules, according to sources."

The Post also noted that AOC did not show up to a scheduled event that she had this last weekend and her office refused to comment on the matter--she may be on the lam or too embarrassed to show her weird eyes in pubic--but she's clearly dodging something.

The Washington Examiner reported on the bombshell allegations against Ocasio-Cortez and Chakrabarti back in March, noting that the cash transfers from the PACs are contradictory to what she claims to stand for, reducing "dark money" in politics.

Tom Anderson, the director of the National Legal and Policy Center's Government Integrity Project, told the Washington Examiner: "It appears Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her associates ran an off-the-books operation to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars, thus violating the foundation of all campaign finance laws: transparency."

AOC implemented a rule that she dubbed the "living wage" rule for her staff, which allowed them to "avoid public transparency laws that would require them to reveal outside income, gifts, and stock trading activity," the Washington Examiner reported.

"Purposefully underpaying staffers in order to avoid transparency is an old trick some of the most corrupt members of Congress have used time and again," Anderson added.

Will AOC and Chakrabarti  one day find themselves yammering in the slammer? Probably not--justice seems to merely apply to the common cis man.

Michael Cohen hopes "history remembers me as someone who tried to bring country together"

Michael Cohen, the president's former personal lawyer, left the courtroom this week in tears as the judge handed him a three year sentence for criminal behavior. He pleaded guilty to campaign finance violation, tax evasion and lying to Congress.

Cohen hopes his crimes will help bring the country back together, but if it doesn't, he's willing to cut his toenails, because that makes as much sense.

Before he leveled his sentence, U.S. Judge William Pauley said “Cohen pled guilt to a veritable smorgasbord of fraudulent conduct" and “lost his moral compass,” according to a Newsday reporter inside the courtroom, if you can believe that.

Judge Pauley also said that “as a lawyer, Mr. Cohen should have known better.”

Cohen pleaded and begged for leniency and accused President Trump – the man he swore he'd take a bullet for and never walk away before all this happened – of causing him to “follow a path of darkness rather than light” and “cover up his dirty deeds,” according to the Newsday reporter. 

Can I get an 'Amen.'

Prosecutors in the Justice Department’s Southern District of New York charged Cohen with eight felony counts in August, including tax evasion, making false statements to a financial institution, and campaign finance violations. Special counsel Robert Mueller, tasked with investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, tacked on an additional count of lying to Congress last month.

Cohen pleaded guilty to all nine counts adding that he hoped his behavior will inspire Americans to be better Americans and get the country out of the dark and into the light.

Federal prosecutors allege that Cohen violated campaign finance laws by paying off two women who allege to have had affairs with Donald Trump acting “in coordination with and at the direction of” the then-candidate. But that seems to be how Trump rolls.

Trump has argued the payments amount to nothing more than a “simple private transaction,” and do not qualify as campaign finance violations. He does it all the time but said "don't tell Melania." He'll probably come out okay on that charge, I suspect.

Cohen will head off to federal prison in early March. He is not expecting to get a presidential pardon.

Dem. Rep's sister paid nearly $200K from campaign funds in midterms

Rep. William Lacy Clay Jr. (D-MO) disbursed almost $200,000 from his campaign funds to his sister's law firm. This was done throughout the 2018 election cycle as per a review of Federal Election Commission filings.

Clay made the payments from his campaign committee, Clay Jr. for Congress, to the Law Office of Michelle C. Clay, LLC, a law firm owned by his sister, Michelle. The firm does not have a website and whose only address appears to be a residential home in Silver Spring, Md., outside of Washington, D.C.

The first payment was in the amount of $9,000 made on Jan. 4, 2017 for professional service fees including fundraising and compliance [which, when you think about it, is pretty ironic]. In addition, the payments to her firm were marked for community organizing, legal counsel, and record keeping.

Michelle does it all, it seems.

The time period of the many payments made by Rep. Clay Jr. was from Jan. 4 to Oct. 31, 2018. The amounts ranged from $500 to $10,000 coming to a total of $198,500. All the money went to his sister's firm, the filings indicate.

Through the full election cycle, total campaign monies came to $656,571.62. Individual contributions, however, only came to a measly $83,000, while most of the money, $573,342.77 was transferred from union, corporate and other political PACs.

I just wonder who gave him seventy-seven cents.

The $198,500 in expenditures made to the Law Office of Michelle C. Clay, Rep. Clay's sister, accounted for about 25 percent of all payments that were disbursed from his campaign committee.


Clay Jr.'s campaign did not respond to a request for comment to any in the press, including Brain Flushings own, Vinny Boombots.

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.

FBI evidently confronted Eric "Boom Boom" Swalwell over the weekend and hoo boy

It has been a rough stretch for former Rep. Eric "Boom Boom" Swalwell . You know, the guy who's known for the fart heard round...
