Steve Forbes, chairman and editor-in-chief of Forbes, says Ilhan Omar and her husband are running a money laundering operation

🚨 Ilhan Omar’s husbands investment firm was looked into, THERE IS NO RECORDS OF THEM MANAGING MONEY, “NO CLIENTS”

“His investment firm — It’s DC headquarters appear to share office space at a WeWork. There's no track record of his firm managing money, doing M&A deals, no clients we see, no investment deals or any work it's done.

They say they do work in 80 nations operating in. There's no SEC registrations for them as investment advisers. What is going on here?

This increasingly looks sketchy, both the winery and his investment firm. Yeah, the winery may not exist and the firm may be just a really a name only”

“It’s amazing how people can go into Congress and then become these entrepreneurial investing geniuses, where they come in, she had under $1,000 of net worth, and her husband didn't have much, and suddenly now they're multimillionaires. Is there a money laundering operation here — something is not right”

“That $30 million came from sources that are illegal, period”

This could get good. JD can’t make an accusation like that and then do nothing!


wow. shots fired. I'd take that one step further. He can't say that and not be right.

I'd personally rather our officials not say things like that at all. I'd rather that if they have the goods then just take some action and let it be reported on as it goes along.

yea, our officials seem to make a lot of accusations, and not a lot of actions...

I know it's politics. Get the accusation out there in the media to do the real damage. But to me its punching down for the VPOTUS. Even if not, what exacly is there to gain by that?
without action, these kinds of accusations make Vance look stupid, and basically just turns everything said into a political attack. IMO, makes Omar even stronger

"Get the accusation out there in the media to do the real damage".

Which media outlet will cover this? Supposedly, this has been a known "fact" for at least several years.

Nothing will happen. Call me a pessimist,

you're not alone in your belief
we've been cutting waste fraud and abuse for decades and so far the only administration that has really taken it on is this one. And frankly, I'm not certain they'll go as far as they should or could.

What I was pointing to was the possibility that Illhan Omar has committed immigration fraud. The reports that she married her brother are out there. It should be pretty simple for the FBI to find that out, and have been known for years.

It's either true, or it's not. If it is true, there is no way she should be sitting in the congress of the US.

Just a general statement on how assassination by media is done by many in DC politics. But that’s not what this is because as you point out this is not a new allegation. I think vance usually does a good job in front of the mic so this doesn’t make any sense to me.

Error? LULZ

So what?

Trump said he didn't have sex with Daniels. I think he lied but he didn't do it under oath or in the Oval Office. The affair was long before he ran for office and IMO had nothing to do with his policy positions. I agree that calling it a legal fee was less than transparent but I'm pretty sure that he didn't have an account set up for hush money. It's beyond any reasonable stretch for him to be charged and convicted on 37 felony counts. There's a reason there was no fine.

Nobody cares that he had an affair with Stormy but LOL that you give him a pass because it had nothing to do with his policy positions - this was a story about his character that he wanted to hide from the public. And don't forget about the Enquirer catch and kill story about Karen McDougal, the playboy bunny he had a year-long affair with around the same time. Both while married to Melania and during her pregnancy with Barron.

The point that you go so out of your way to avoid is that he paid the hush money to hide it from the voters right before the election. We all know that if that story had come out, he wouldn't have been elected and we could have saved this country 12 years of chaos and hell. So in essence, the trial was really about election interference and you know it.

I mean, it's not as bad as the words "Big Guy" that turned into a years long investigation that found no evidence of a crime but....

The reason there was no fine was that he was the incoming POTUS. That's right ... enough Americans were so unethical and immoral that they voted in a felon. A felon who committed his felonies surrounding political gain. And enough awful excuses for humans looked at that and said "that's the guy we want to represent us and be the head of law and order, and fixing politics."

Holy hell, my guy. What's with previously normal-seeming people selling their souls in defense of an absolutely abhorrent being, who doesn't give a rip about you ... any of you ... unless you can benefit him in some way? What is wrong with you? You were once just a typical old fuddy-duddy conservative, as has existed for many years amongst reasonable people ... and you tossed that away to back a subhuman freak who only wants to take advantage of you, and destroy our government and country in the process.

I've been clear that I think Trump had sex with Stormy Daniels and he paid hush money. That affair was 20 years ago. Failure to disclose the payment was probably a campaign finance violation and it should have been penalized as such even though the payments occurred after the 2016 election. Many legal scholars believe the felony charges were contrived as Bragg “bootstrapped” misdemeanor charges into felonies by linking them to an obscure, time-barred election law.

A lot of people (probably including you) voted for Clinton in spite of the fact that he was a known adulterer. He had sex with an intern in the Oval Office, was accused by many more women of having inappropriate sexual contact, and actually paid Paula Joes $850k. Were people who voted for him unethical and immoral or did they prefer his policies to those of Bush & Dole? Do you realize that Harris probably lost more than Trump won?

I did not vote for Clinton. Either time. Admittedly the first time he ran, I was too young to vote ... but I wouldn't have voted for him if I was old enough - I remember being at college and seeing that he had a campaign stop there, and feeling angry because I was being inconvenienced by a guy I wasn't even supporting. I was a conservative Wall Street yuppie in training back then.

His Lewinsky scandal wouldn't have factored into anyone voting, or not voting, for him, since it came to light well into his 2nd term.

Some of the other issues - like Paula Jones - also occurred in a "different time," when society wasn't as concerned with defending sexual assault victims ... as sad as that may be to think about, it's true. That was closer to a time when movies made young rapists into the heroes of the movie (Sixteen Candles, Revenge of the Nerds, etc. in the mid-80s) than it is to today's post-Me Too era. That isn't to excuse it ... just to explain that society may or may not have cracked down on a sexual offender as readily ... in fact, the Paula Jones situation may very well have spurred on the MeToo movement, because of how poorly she was treated then. That's what's supposed to happen in a society - we have progress ... we live and learn ... we certainly don't say "well, since George Washington owned slaves, it would be OK if Trump owned slaves." Why? Because we've evolved.

But, yeah, I found folks who supported Clinton to be lacking in morality ... though Clinton isn't near the all around criminal that Trump is ... and was well before he was a political figure. And I say that never having supported Bill Clinton.

Yes, I realize that limited, scared people wouldn't vote for a black woman ... it was a poor strategic decision by the Dems to put her forward as a candidate. But, if MAGAts weren't MAGAts (i.e. they had even a mild level of actual morality, it wouldn't have mattered if the Dems put forward an actual rock as their candidate, that would have been preferable to your Fuhrer, the pathologically self-centered serial felon sexual predator mob boss who actively and openly despises you, and others who voted for him. Smart people don't like him ... he said it himself. And you like him.

You have a lot of excuses Moogy. Then you call Trump voters racist because they didn't vote for Harris. Wow!

What a horribly vapid response to my post.

You assumed something that wasn't true ... and tried to use that as an excuse for your current behavior (supporting a subhuman felonious Fuhrer) ... and you got corrected for that.

How is that an excuse? Why did you not address that your presumption was incorrect, and apologize for it ... you know ... like a man ... and not a little biznatch ... would do?

The reality is, I shut your sad arse up on the merits, and now you have nothing, but felt compelled to respond, regardless. What "excuses" did I present? That I wasn't old enough to vote? That the scandal hadn't happened yet, so it couldn't have effected an election that already happened? Make it make sense, you disgustingly disingenuous individual.

Correction ... Trump voters (generally speaking) aren't just racist ... they're also misogynistic. There are enough "independents" and Dems that are the same that it affected the outcome. The entirety of the Trump movement came about because they felt a black man was talking down to them ... so their racism came out in response (birtherism ... Trump's first toe dipped into the political field). Then they obviously wouldn't support a woman for POTUS ... but an old, fading white dude was able to garner enough support ... so why then try a "double dip" of black AND female? It was a bad strategy. If Dems had put forward a less qualified, less intelligent white man, they walk away with the 2016 and 2024 POTUS elections (obviously if the Dems had won in 2016, 2024 would have been completely different on both sides ... so it's an either/or situation there).
