Here’s the question in this whole thing: is it tilting at windmills, or is there enough evidence to actually do something? Because it’s going to take some extraordinary facts to get it through the legal justice system and stick her in jail and/or strip her of citizenship and deport her. Particularly since Democrats will caterwaul and go apoplectic, and Trump only has a bit over two years in office. If a Democrat wins in 2028 they will surely shut it all down
Ilhan Omar case is ‘large’ and targeting multiple people, reveals DHS Secretary
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said that feds probing Rep. Ilhan Omar assembled a “large case” dealing with multiple people.
“This isn’t just a case that’s targeting one individual. This is a large case that we have presented to the DOJ, and the DOJ is leading the investigations,” he told Fox News on Friday.
Mullin said Homeland Security Investigations agents — who searched Omar’s Washington, DC, home on Oct. 12 — “did a lot of investigation to be able to present the case to them.”
“And I’ll just say this again: We’re enforcing our nation’s laws, and we’re going to do that. We’re not weaponizing. We’re not using political theater on this,” he added.
Authorities are probing Omar over whether the Somalia-born politician engaged in an immigration fraud conspiracy by marrying her alleged brother Ahmed Elmi, a British citizen who describes himself as gay, and whether she made false statements on government documents to gain citizenship.
This will have to move fast, and, remember, the judge involved, James Boasberg, isn’t actually a fan of Trump and has ruled against him constantly.
Mullin, a former Republican senator from Oklahoma, defended the probe after former President Barack Obama publicly lambasted it.
The Obama admin did an investigation. And, don’t forget, the current investigation started under Biden.
“I’ve made this very, very, very, very clear: we’re enforcing our nation’s laws across the board equally, and we’re going to continue to do that,” he said.
“I don’t care where you’re seated, and I don’t care how you’re registered to vote, I don’t care what your job title is. We use it equally.”
Those in positions of power in government should be held to a much, much, much higher standard. We forget this for today’s high ranking poobahs, be they politicians, department members, Congressional employees, generals and admirals, etc.
Trump’s DOJ has a piss poor record of convictions on Trump’s political enemies
James Comey he has been indicted twice and never been convicted. The cases are always dismissed by Federal judges.
Same with Leticia James.
The investigations,indictments cases are always baseless and never go anywhere.
Like the 10? Billion in MN fraud cases from last year. A handful of convictions never even close to 1 billion. Yet Trumpets all get chubbies when they read about it
A higher standard? Trump is s convicted felon and adjudicated rapist and a good friend of Epstein for decades who continued to give Epstein guest privileges at Mar A Lago force years after his conviction for child sex trafficking. And the US Attorney General in FL who have him the 1 year deal in that case? Trump rewarded him by making him Sec of Labor in his Cabinet
Trump’s political enemies..” You mean the Omar case that was initiated under Obama?
And the case was dropped.
Did you realize her then hubby, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi (married from 2009 to 2017) never became a United States citizen?? What a scam, huh?? LOL.
Like 99% of the felonious Donny-ordered “investigations”, this is all smoke.
Why does Teach keep showing Donny (Felonious-T) in a hijab??
One cannot believe a single word from McDonny, Blanche, MarkWayne or any PressSecBlonde of the Day.
They are all liars.
Donny is the worst TWO presidents in history! LOL.
The next president will order the DOJ to investigate the “naturalization” of Slovenian “model” Melanija Knavs (aka Melanija Knauss, Melania Knavs, Melania Knauss, Melania Trump, why so many suspicious name changes?).
Her father, Viktor Knavs, was a member of the League of Communists of Slovenia, and is now a naturalized U.S. citizen. Her mother (deceased) was from the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
Melanija Knavs first entered the United States on August 27, 1996, using a B-1/B-2 visitor (tourist) visa, which permitted her to look for work but did not allow her to perform paid employment. The Associated Press revealed accounting documents from a modeling agency showing she was paid $20,056 for 10 “modeling” jobs in the U.S. between September 10 and October 15, 1996.
Melanija obtained permanent United States residency through an EB-1A “Einstein visa” (reserved for individuals with “extraordinary ability”) in 2001 before becoming a citizen in 2006. We all saw photographic evidence of her “extraordinary abilities”, LOL.
Why does Felonious-T and his 32%er MAGAt klan hate American democracy?? THAT’S rhetorical.
But we’ll answer. They are white, “christianist”, male authoritarians, terrified that they’ll lose their privileges.
As explained time and again by the Cove’s only literate MAGAt commenter, America was best when White, Christian, Men with property voted and ruled. When the “great unwashed” votes (i.e., democracy) the nation becomes ungreat!!! The Founding Fathers knew this!!!
