More on the Ilhan Omar investigation
It gallops apace. What will come of it, nobody knows.
But here’s the latest:
We’ve reported that at least two investigations are ongoing: one involving immigration questions and another involving financial disclosures. Now there are new reports that what’s being looked into may be even broader than people generally believe. NewsNation’s Leland Vittert claimed that the raid on Omar’s home was just the most conspicuous of more than a dozen raids. He also reported that federal agents allegedly went dumpster diving in Omar’s trash for DNA and that “likely coming indictments will be stunning in nature,” according to his sources.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
Her sister is being investigated as well:
Meanwhile, Omar’s older sister, Sahra Noor, who is supposed to be on a tour promoting her book about her life as a Somali immigrant, was scheduled to be at a book tour stop at the University of Minnesota Rochester on Thursday night.
Except, according to reports, she skipped the event due to a “family emergency,” amid all the action going on. Noor has allegedly been subpoenaed in the investigation.
Now there is a report from the New York Times that the sister’s phone was seized before the raid on Omar’s home.
I have little doubt there’s something – or probably many things – crooked in Ilhan Omar’s presentation. Whether she will be prosecuted for it (or them) is another question entirely. Omar has been immune from serious consequences for a long time, mostly because she can play the race card and the discrimination card any time she wants, and has done so very successfully for many years.

Omar hasn’t been spotted all week.
