Political Question If Ilhan Omar is doing illegal activities then should Trump be impeached as well?

You cant go after someone when youre the most corrupt president ever.

Is doing? WAS doing would be most accurate. Seems most of the accusations were from months to years even decades ago.

As to when? Not sure. Its unprescedented for a sitting president. Of those impeached, none have ever been removed from office.

“Was never doing” would be even more accurate

Im curious as to how you have such intimate knowledge about this issue. You certain she wasnt married to her brother to get him citizenship? Certain her age wasnt obscured to get easier immigration proceess herself? Sure she didnt get some kickbacks from the fraud in Minnesota? Im not clear on any of those things. Im waiting to see what gets found. But she certainly seemed close to the fraudsters. And her "clerical error" on her net worth may have been just that. But it does seem suspicious based on the circumstances.

If you or anyone has evidence, we would have seen it. What evidence have you seen? Anything other than “we have seen no evidence to support any of these claims” would be a lie.

Are you certain trump has not gotten kickbacks on every dollar of fraud in this country since 2016? Trump is a literal convicted fraudster so you don’t get closer to fraud than that. All his kids do fraud, everyone he spends any time with does fraud.

I havent. But i also know that during an investigation, the prosecution doesnt share what it has/knows. Gives more time for defense to prepare. Im reserving judgement until the investigation is over.

Politicians, for the mostpart, are fraudsters. Why are our congresspeople so much wealthier when they leave office? Its not on their salary.

That said, i wont dispute that our current president is a fraudster. But the topic was Omar. Thats where im focusing on this thread. And at the end of the investigation, it may be more clear if she is guilty. Or if this truly is political prosecution. Passing judgement on this issue, at this moment, would be premature.

Wouldn’t it make sense for a convicted fraudster to create fraudulent investigations against his political enemies?

Sure. But wouldnt it also make sense that a politician, who was involved with a fraudulent NGO that improperly (by accident or on purpose) shared their net worth as MILLIONS, after entering office in debt, may also be a fraudster? Both statements can also be true!

Then we would have seen evidence. Not a raid 3 weeks before midterm when a president is the most unpopular in history and desperately trying to gin up muslim hatred.

Simplest answer is usually best. Add this to the list of fake investigations by this trump admin.

Circumstantial evidence enough to do a raid it seems. And as stated above, it would be unwise for prosecution to show their hand before formal charges. They dont need to publicly spill all their info. In fact, thats a terrible plan. As I said before, now that they have had a look, either they are going to charge her, or they wont. Time will tell.
