Political Question Are federal agents raiding Ilhan Omar and example of political persecution ? Why is the government specifically targeting and double guessing her paper work after 20 years?

Why are Americans letting this happen? It feels like the country is falling apart.

She did report that her net worth 30 million and yes it did magically change to $130k after the spotlight was on her.

Her excuse was that it was an accounting error. I'm not sure how that would be possible, but here we are.

So we're not going to mention that the 30 million is her husband's holdings in two different companies?

They’re trying really hard not to bring that up and you constantly pointing out that fact is very rude lol

Right? People act like she did something crazy to make that money when in reality she married a dude that was a millionaire.

All the business dealings were his, so I'm not seeing how she's suspicious as a result, unless there is more information that I'm not privy to that Dan Bongino, and thus his listenership, might be privy to. I'm going to guess not. I don't know anything about her immigration case and if that is squeaky clean on her part or not. One thing I do know is Melania's immigration wasn't squeaky clean so I'm not sure that is a road Trump wants to go down. Once Dems get power again, all bets are off on how they'll retaliate.

Well, as Russia pays him, they might have provided him some insider information.

You sure don't have a problem lying about her, eh? Her net worth was reported as 30 mil after she married a guy worth... 30 mil. Then confirmed her personal net worth remain as it was previously reported. Nothing "magical" about it when you are being honest. And there is no connection to the fraud beyond racist assholes yelling Somali over and over.

No, lol, it's her husband's business valuation, that's all. SHE alone is not worth a ton.

I'd be going after the accounting firm if they whoopsied that hard. And so would every creditor who might have issued me loans based on that net worth

How is a Somali immigrant worth $30 million?

u/OlasNah 10h ago

She's not, her husband has business interests that are worth around that much.

Not really here for your racism, sir.

How do you think? Take a guess. Then look it up. 

This isn't some big mystery.

Combined with the whole "married her brother" scam, I dare say we have evidence of a pattern of criminal behavior.

And this is even before we consider any possible involvement in the pervasive welfare fraud that the Somali community in Minnesota has been involved in.

The Somali community in Minnesota is not involved in welfare fraud. It's a handful of corrupt individuals, some of whom happened to be Somali with a caucasion ringleader, who are the fraudsters.

Criminals get found guilty in court, like your Cheeto in chief
