I guess everyone is just finding ways to economize, these days.
I suspect that’s one of the radionaliztions batted around the Strib, WCCO and MPR newdsrooms after learning that questions about the ethics of pouring “consulting“ money into a firm owned by her husband, Omar has been spending a lot less on consultants:
A lot.
Fox News is reporting that Rep. Ilhan Omar’s campaign has paid out comparatively little in consulting fees after cutting ties with a firm co-owned by her husband.
According to Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings reviewed by the outlet, Omar’s payments to political consultants fell to around $1 million during the 2022 midterm election season.
That is a two-thirds decline from the nearly $3 million she had paid to E Street Group, a firm co-owned by her husband, Tim Mynett, during the 2020 election cycle, when she faced a far less competitive primary challenger.
By the way, they’re referring to her current husband. Not the guy who was no way, no how her brother, you racist.
in the olden days, I think retiring members of congress got to keep unspent campaign funds
is that still true
maybe she is quietly preparing for her next gig
bigman you might be on to something
Its a safe bet she’s amassed a great deal of valuable information about international players from her time on the committee which she could use Clinton style to set up a speaking tour where she picks up a $250k fee for every appearance.
Of course there’s a book deal in the works
And she’s got an activist daughter who could run for and “win” her seat in congress.
The world is her oyster.
Ha! Don’t think for one second that the Mogadishu ingrate hasn’t learned from her fellow grifters in the DemoCommie party how to funnel campaign money into the family coffers by “hiring” then to do menial and minimal tasks. All of these family members will give the insane radical her cut, just like the Big Guy gets his from Crackhead Hunter.
Pig is either on something or onto something.
After helping prince’s rise, Trump and Kushner benefit from Saudi funds

I guess if you use nepotism to make billions off your name (Trump/Kushner) it’s okay but if you only make millions (Hunter) it’s not okay. Strange world we live in.
emery,
speaking of being on something, you need to clear your head of your week-end ketamine flush and answer this question;
At what point in your mother’s pregnancy with you would it have become unacceptable for her to abort you?
^^Insanity. More Jew & Saudi hatred from the troll.
Sorry Bot Boy, but you have no credibility anymore, but you have even less when you use a left wing Trump hating propaganda spewing rag like the Washington Post as a source. You are the same bb brain that were trying to complain about journalistic standards? 😂
Once she is out of office, Omar loses political protection from her immigration crimes. And in the part of the world where she is from, politics is a family business. So look for her to install a relative in her seat when she leaves it.
I do wonder how Slow Joe is managing his son’s addiction. If H Biden falls off the wagon, it would be an unimaginable disaster for “pops.” If I had to guess, I would say that you will never see crack-addled Hunter Biden again. If he begins to indulge his addiction, H Biden will die from a drug overdose.
All Americans should be interested in who is buying H Biden’s paintings, and for how much. This is simple due diligence, given H Biden’s widely acknowledged past practice of trading on his father’s influence & the entanglement of Hunter’s and Slow Joe’s finances.

Mogadishu Barbie’s daughter is climate activist Isra Hirsi who also co-founded U.S. Youth Climate Strike
She is the obvious heir apparent for the CD5 seat.

Deil Gustafson, who was national co-chair(and behind the scenes money man) of Hubert Humphrey’s 1960 presidential campaign, made it a point to include HHH’s son-in-law(Bruce Solomenson) in his business dealings so that he was assured of protection from federal inquiries until HHH died in 1978, then both Gustafson and Solomenson ended up in prison. Having a Senate or House seat bestows a built in protection racket. Mogadishu Barbie will install her daughter in CD5

if Amy Klobuchar runs for President again in 2024 its a safe bet Mogadishu Barbie will run for Amy’s senate seat and stands a better than even chance of getting it
OR
if something tragic happens to Kamala Harris Amy would be a safe choice to fill the VP slot – again that paves the way for Mogadishu Barbie
I think it’s worthwhile to mention that by all appearances, Mogda-B, is going to be a power.
First of all, she’s moderate-to-good looking, crafty if not smart, lies well and without guilt, and she’s played multiple systems adroitly. But more importantly, she is now ensconced in the DNC as an ultra-reliable, up-and-coming player.
Senator? Sure. VP even. I don’t know if the country is ready for a Somali President, but Biden, Kamala, Fetterman, et al seems to be proof that no physical or mental condition is too extreme. Why not nationality – oh, wait, I’ll bet the DNC is, even now, working on physical proof that she was born and raised in Cedar-Riverside. Or Hawaii.
Mogadishu Barbie was trained from day one to her current job. Her grandfather and father were ranking members (who survived purges) of Siad Barre’s government. Being a communist government grifter IS the family business for Omar.
A million bucks? Spent on consultants to that miserable wretched Cvunt?
I hope those waiters have good tax accountants.
Me? I’m setting up a gate at the top of my road this week. It can be breached, but not with a Suburban.

If Fetterman can get elected US Senator as a D, a frikkin’ pot can get elected US Senator as a D.
I’m reading AP stories like “After Latest Stroke Fetterman May Have Permanent Brain Damage.”
This is stupid. Strokes always result in permanent brain damage. You bleed into your brain, your brain is damaged. Any “healing” that occurs afterwards is a result of brain routing around the damaged area. Brain tissue does not regrow or heal. Brain tissue is not muscle tissue or bone.
Regarding Omar and Mynett, it’s worth noting that the big payments to the E Street Group were in 2020, when Omar took in about $5.5 million of campaign funding in a safe district, but in 2021-2, her “take” dropped to $3 million overall. She dropped the firm once there was public outrage at the spending, and her current partner firm is said to be separate from Mynett. Said to be–I visited Mynett’s LinkedIN page, and he’s got a number of irons in the fire.
What else I know about Mynett is that his ex wife is a pediatrician (average income $300k/year) who had supported his political endeavors financially, and from that, we can guess he didn’t totally “make bank” by dropping his sugar momma. I have to wonder if the arrangement was “I direct campaign expenses to you and you buy us a home” between Ilhan and Tim.
My best guess is that the payments stopped more or less because major donors found the situation embarrassing, and moreover because Omar knew it could lead to credible challengers. But proving wrongdoing is going to require an FBI that is interested in figuring out whether Mynett’s charges were reasonable, and thus whether it was legal or money laundering. Not holding my breath on that one.
