The walls finally may be closing in on Ilhan Omar

2019-09-20

[American Thinker] There is ample reason to suspect that Rep. Ilhan Omar has committed multiple frauds. Scott Johnson of Powerline, a retired attorney, has been covering the freshman House member ever since her run for the Minnesota state Legislature, and has been among the most active investigators of suspicions that she committed immigration fraud by legally marrying her brother in order to get him into the United States. Yesterday, he wrote about the genesis of his suspicions:

A few days after I started writing about Ilhan Omar on Power Line in August 2016 ‐ after she had won the primary for the DFL state legislative endorsement ‐ I was contacted by a source who agreed to discuss his knowledge of Omar's family with me. At our meeting he told me that Ahmed Nur Said Elmi ‐ Omar's legal husband, so to speak, as of that date ‐ was Omar's brother and that she had married him for fraudulent purposes.

And Omar herself entered the United States under an assumed identity:

My source told me that Omar and another member or two of the Elmi family had entered the United States as fraudulent members of the Omar family. That would go some way to explain why Omar lacks any acknowledged relative with the name Omar.

Now a tweet that she deleted two days ago is providing corroboration for those suspicions. Shaikh Tawhidi, the Imam of Peace, called attention to the deletion:

#9 There was a 60 Minutes documentary many years ago where they found about 80% (from memory) of the claimed Somali family members for immigration were unrelated. The Somalis approved for immigration were selling family chain migration visas to rich Somalis. "Ilhan Omar" (not her real name) is one of them.

#8 @ #2 ^^^ Indeed. The voting public, dead, alive, or illegal, have "grasped" quite a few luminaries since the Peanut Farmer.

#7 Remember that the "national government" of Somalia has actual control of a few blocks in Mogadishu, and any records the purportedly have or any documents she produced about her real name and family as not worth the toilet paper they are written on. DNA should already exist, just match it with her claimed birth family and first "husband" to get the truth. This horrible person needs to be found out and removed from government!

#5 I've been reading Scott Johnson's post on PowerLine, and I doubt that most of the voters know anything about this. The local paper, the Star Tribune, has studiously avoided almost any mention of the controversies. Rep. Omar has denied, denied, denied any wrongdoing, saying that questions about her personal life are inappropriate.

#2 Ref #1: The walls should be closing on whatever her name is because the voters grasp what she is.

"Voters grasp"....? Is this some new awareness? I seem to recall 8 long years of Soetoro.
