The rank corruption of so many members of the House of Representatives is hardly a new development, and over the last several years, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has added her chapter to the book. In a recent interview with Business Insider, the controversial Minnesota congresswoman, who has been accused of marrying her brother to skirt immigration laws, complained about a "coordinated, right-wing disinformation campaign" regarding her finances.
She then challenged them to check her "public financial statements." As you'll see, that turned out to be a very bad idea because the Free Beacon did just that, and what they found was damning.

Earlier this year, Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) complained to Business Insider she's been the subject of a "coordinated right-wing disinformation campaign" claiming she's worth millions of dollars. "Maybe try checking my public financial statements," she said, "and you will… pic.twitter.com/hPWq1eOkSJ
We'll get to the details in a moment, but it's important to understand that it's not just about Omar going from rags to riches in the span of a few months. It's how she got there that exposes the game so many of these left-wing politicians play, even as they proclaim themselves warriors against a supposed "oligarchy."
Regardless, it's really not a good idea to snarkily accuse others of "disinformation" and tell them to go search through your finances if they end up revealing the opposite of what you claim. In this case, Omar is trying a rather dumb and transparent sleight of hand because when you do check her public financial disclosures, you find that she's worth at least $6 million. The way she tries to handwave that away is by suggesting her husband's money is not her money.
I'm not sure how it works in Somalia, but in America, that's not how marriage works. Omar is obviously privy to the cash her husband, Tim Mynett, brings in, given the lifestyle she and her crazed daughter live. Here's the thing, though. One of his company's biggest benefactors is Omar's campaign.
I've written about this multiple times in the past, and apparently, the total is now up $2.9 million funnelled by Omar into Mynett's consulting firm. She then went from having an affair with him to marrying him, which, surprise, suddenly gave her access to all that money.

As the Free Beacon goes on to explain, once Mynett got that big infusion of cash from Omar's campaign, he suddenly left the consulting business to start a variety of other businesses that have made them millions more.
It's not the first time Mynett's business activities have emerged as a thorn in Omar's side. Mynett and Omar were both married to other people when they met, but the pair began an affair while Mynett served as a political consultant for Omar's campaign, which paid his firm a…

Notably, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) has run a similar alleged scam, where she's sent millions of dollars in campaign money to her daughter for "consulting" and other supposed services. If none of this is illegal, it's a huge loophole in campaign finance law. It seems absurd to me that you can hang 34 felony accounts on a president for what amounted to an argument over a QuickBooks entry, but campaign finance laws are just fine with House representatives enriching their families with campaign donations as an obvious way to funnel money back to themselves.
In short, yes, Omar is very rich, and she and her paramour-turned-husband gained most of their money seemingly overnight. Where's the House Ethics Committee? Where's the DOJ? Because all of this stinks to high heaven.
