Ilhan Omar’s payments to husband’s firm hit $1 million in 2020 cycle https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ilhan-omars-payments-to-husbands-firm-hit-1-million-in-2020-cycle Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., continues to dish out six-figure payments to her husband's firm, which has now received more than $1 million from her campaign this cycle. Federal Election Commission records released Tuesday afternoon show that Omar's campaign funneled $228,384.93 last quarter to the E Street Group, a D.C.-based consulting firm run by the congresswoman's husband, Tim Mynett. The payments, predominantly for digital and fundraising services, bring the total that Omar's campaign has sent to Mynett's firm to just over $1 million for the 2020 cycle. Omar, a freshmen congresswoman, has faced scrutiny over numerous financial and personal issues since she was elected in 2018. She has drawn criticism for a lack of transparency about her previous marriages, over campaign finance violations, and for a potential violation of House ethics rules pertaining to the advance she received on a recently published memoir. Pressed for answers, she has routinely dismissed the inquiries as "smears" and "conspiracy theories." Mynett's firm is the top vendor for Omar's campaign, which doled out $521,000 between April 1 and June 30 with Mynett's share accounting for 44 percent of that total. The financial relationship between Mynett and Omar began before the two announced they were married this March, but it is unclear how long the two were romantically linked before they tied the knot.
You couldn't just take the win, could you? You couldn't resist a touch of bigotry just for good measure, could you?
And yet no amount of investigations could find any wrongdoing. Perhaps if they excavated your head they might find it there. Worth a try.
Rich Mitch.. Personally I'm in favour of well compensated representatives but randomly selected from the whole population of qualified candidates (IQ above 120, not a lawyer etc.,lived in the area long enough), a bit like jury duty just for four years. Give it a go anyway.
If the Tortuga and the Newt had never happened to the Republican party.. It would probably not need to do so much voter surpression.
