If there were an investigation, which there almost certainly will not be, Ilhan Omar would likely be found completely innocent of any wrongdoing, no matter what the facts of the case may be. Why? Because as a quadruple victim — female, migrant, black, Muslim — she has a coveted protected status in American society today, and privilege to do essentially whatever she wants. I’m not saying she is guilty of violating any laws here, as there is no law against a political campaign hiring a relative or spouse. But this is the same sort of situation as that of Hunter and Joe Biden. Hunter Biden was hired by a Ukrainian oil company for a massive salary despite having no experience in the industry. Even if no actual laws were broken, it was quite clearly a case of buying influence in the U.S. government, just as Omar here is taking advantage of a lacuna in the laws to funnel campaign money into her personal account. And of course, there is plenty of evidence of her violating other laws. Nonetheless, no matter what she has done, she is golden. If she were a Christian male born in the U.S., and a conservative, there would be heavy pressure on her to resign in disgrace, she would be vilified in the media on a regular basis, and legal proceedings would be underway against her.

“Rep. Omar has paid husband’s political consulting firm nearly $2.8M,” by Mark Moore, New York Post, November 11, 2020:

Rep. Ilhan Omar has funneled nearly $2.8 million to her husband’s political consulting company since the beginning of 2019, according to a report.

Omar’s campaign paid $1.6 million to E Street Group LLC, which is owned by her husband, Tim Mynett, from the start of 2019 to July 22, 2020, Fox News reported Tuesday, citing Federal Election Commission data.

Another $1.1 million was sent to the firm in the third quarter and $27,000 in the following weeks.

The $1.1 million figure represented nearly 70 percent of the $1.6 million that her campaign spent in those three months, the report said.

The expenses were for a range of campaign services, including cable advertising, “digital consulting,” video production and editing, Fox News said.

Omar, a Democrat from Minnesota, easily won re-election last week.

Her campaign and E Street Group did not respond to requests for comment from Fox News.

Omar has defended her expenses and said her campaign worked with Mynett’s firm long before they began a relationship.

“We consulted with a top FEC campaign attorney to ensure there were no possible legal issues with our relationship,” she said in a Twitter post in March, just days after she married Mynett. “We were told this is not uncommon and that no, there weren’t.”…
