The enemedia is in super-scrub mode to protect the worst of the worst.. They will take a bullet for the jihad/leftwing cause destroying whatever credibility they might have had left.
Read these remarkable passages from @AmyForliti of the @AP.
She first writes that "one tax expert" says @IlhanMN is unlikely to be charged if she corrected her returns. Yet later, we learn the expert actually said the issue is criminal intent, not correction … pic.twitter.com/3zlTBbqJca

The AP Goes to Bat for Ilhan Omar As Her Tax Fraud Scandal Widens
By Bonchie, RedState, June 12, 2019:
Last week, we were given the news that Ilhan Omar had committed campaign finance violations, something investigative voices on the right had been saying for a while.
It took an announcement by the Minnesota campaign finance officials to finally get a few mainstream outlets to notice. Then things got worse, as it became clear that part of the entire scheme involved her filing joint tax returns with someone she wasn’t married to, all while simultaneously being married to another man.
Redstate Senior Managing Editor streiff covered that story.
When the Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board released its report requiring the pro-terrorist, anti-American, anti-Semitic bigot who happens to represent Minnesota’s Fifth Congressional to pay nearly $3,500 in fines and restitution for diverting campaign contributions to her own personal use, they buried the lede. Apparently, she not only scammed her contributors to enrich herself, she also engaged is several years of calculated income tax fraud.
So for at least two years, Omar committed tax fraud. As streiff points out though, the investigators were only interested in the years she received donations. There’s a very good chance the fraud goes back even further.
If this were a Republican, it’d be huge news. As it stands, I’m not even sure CNN has reported on it and the only mention from a major paper I’ve seen is The Washington Post’s Aaron Blake retweeting a local report covering the scam.
The Associated Press did finally put out a story on the ordeal, but decided to use it’s position to essentially shill for Omar. Instead of an investigative piece on her wrongdoing as you’d see with any other non-liberal politician, they found an “expert” to do a Q&A ensuring everyone that Omar is in the clear.
The @AP reporter who wrote today's article minimizing @IlhanMN's tax fraud is the same reporter who, just prior to the 2018 elections, minimized @IlhanMN's perjury spree.

And @AmyForliti offered zero evidence for or against @IlhanMN regarding criminal intent.
The @AP just announced that an internationally relevant US congresswoman is likely in the clear, then offered no factual basis for making such a call.
Incompetence, or malevolence?

Despite the mainstream press’ desire to bury this story, Omar’s hometown paper has a bit of a harsher (but not too harsh) take. While they are extremely pro-Democratic party, the Star Tribune’s editorial board took the Congresswoman to task for her continual drama.
It’s against the law in Minnesota to file jointly unless one filer is legally married to the other. Last year Omar told the Star Tribune that she had married her partner “in her faith,” and had earlier divorced her first husband “in her faith.” That’s fine for religious purposes. But for tax purposes, only civil marriages qualify. It’s not known whether she benefited materially by filing jointly. That is something that voters, who are obliged to follow tax laws no matter how painful, are entitled to know.
Omar’s excuse has been to say she was divorced and remarried in her “faith.” The IRS doesn’t care about that though, or they wouldn’t if Omar weren’t part of the privileged class. She broke the law, period.
Omar’s political rise has been marred by a series of unforced errors, including intemperate remarks and tweets earlier this year that were widely perceived as anti-Semitic. Every month seems to bring a fresh problem.
You can sense that patience is running out. I don’t know if this means Omar will face serious challengers in 2020, but the possibility is strong.
In the end, Omar will likely skate because that’s what all liberal politicians tend to do. There’s no logical reason why she shouldn’t be staring down an indictment right now.
There is some sweet, sweet irony in all this though. After crying about Trump’s tax returns, Omar (and Democrats) are now left scrambling to excuse the fact that she won’t release her tax information to show exactly what was going on. If you go on Twitter, this is a good characterization of the liberal response.
Liberals a week ago: “Donald Trump is a tax cheat and should be in prison despite me having no evidence of that!”
Liberals today: “Nobody cares about tax fraud, rube!”
Republicans should keep pressing on this issue. Omar shouldn’t be anywhere near Congress and seeing her ousted in 2020 would be a good thing. Don’t let the media dictate the terms here. Go hard and don’t worry about getting called a bigot. They are going to do that anyway.

Deport the fraud!
Agree. Left/Lib pro-jihadis are also suppressing conservative, patriots chritsian posts that exposes the crimes they commit and allow jihadis/illegals to continue !
Like this news of brutal gang rape of swedish girl and what they did to her is even worse
http://bit.ly/2z2rVov
But it was suppressed /played down !
Why waste time and energy complaining about the malfeasance and hypocrisy of the media – it’s like complaining about the weather.
If the little cretin is guilty of tax fraud, the Justice Department should empanel a grand jury – and indict her.
They should but they won’t – because she is black.
@CG; ALSO IT IS a woman,
AND IT is a muslem.
Those who are awake and have read the koran for themselves know it IS the CULT OF PIECES that is referred to as the “religion of piece by the (DNC)/DemocRATic Nationalist Communist party that has BOWED and SURRENDERED to This CULT !
AP is nothing but Saudi propaganda, she should be sentences to 10 years in Gitmo and deported.
@N; The “males” that “colluded” with IT need to be in prison for their fraudulent acts against America.
She is a muslim whore.
Pimped out by cair and the muslim brotherhood.
And Dems are the john
Omar should be removed from office, prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, then her and her family stripped of their citizenship and deported back to where she came from, in body bags.
@MG; I agree except with the last three words. Let them live. They may wish they were deceased when REALITY HITS them.
Meanwhile Nancy Pelois is silent and keeps Ilhan Omar on the
Budget,
Education and Labor, and
Foreign Affairs committees of the House.
She should be removed from all three!
How many egregious violations must she commit before she is prosecuted and required to step down?
If she continues to get a free pass on crimes like this, our judiciary becomes more of a joke and empowers there corrupt sadists. It’s not just DEMS behind this – it’s the GOPe too! We can not have a double standard.
That’s the most heinous thing of the whole story – She’s on our Foreign Affairs Committee!! That is so insane it’s incomprehensible!!
Criminals. Traitors. Avowed Communists. All are members of the highest government offices in America. WTF.
The people who vote for this garbage need to wake up.
The Somali’s voted for her. They are quite awake. It is the White people in Minnesota who are asleep at the helm.
The damn-Dems and their corrupt partners in crime (Nazi-Islamists) have no guilt . They are above right and wrong. They DO NOT CARE and as long as the cash is coming in they will spend it. These corrupt party members will NOT wake up until they are lined up for beheading because they are infidel.
If this happened to anyone else, they’d be heavily fined and possibly in prison. The “ruling class” gets a pass….especially if you’re a radical like her.
Muslims taking people’s money?!
No way. They only ever earn their own!
They don’t have superiority nor entitlement issues!????
It’s SHOCKING that Omar can so overtly vent her hatred of Jews…and her marriage to her brosband is also in the open now. And we’re all supposed to pretend it’s totally cool? Seriously? Do ANY Democrats EVER have to pay the fiddler? It’s immigration fraud at the very least.
in 2003, a bill was introduced in the MN state house to legalize first cousin marriage. The thought was it would make recent immigrants feel more at home, as first cousin marriage is customary in Somalia. Ironically, the sponsor of the bill was Phyllis Kahn, who lost her seat in 2016 in a primary race – to Ilhan Omar.
her “faith” is a lie and encourages lying. she’s just being faithful
AP = American Pravda
OMAR IS A RACIST, BIGOTED, SHARIA LOVING, ANTI SEMITE, ANTI WHITE, ANTI AMERICAN, DECEITFUL SCUMBAG LIAR….VOTE HER OUT BEFORE YOU HAVE MINNESOMALIA IN 2035…THE FIRST TOTALLY MUSLIM STATE IM USA.
The Demoncrap party is a LAWLESS GODLESS party FOOL of losers, leftist, liars, and looneys. Yet they keep getting in and keep being losers, leftist, liars and looneys.
Either you like to be entertained or love living dangerously.
Actually to the Somali community that elected her she is not a disgrace but a success. Africans are adept at fraud and she is no different from the rest of them.
ordinary islam.
The Muslim who married her brother will get a pass.
The FOX news office in Wash D.C. now has a moslem prayer room!!! WTF The moslems are controlling all the major media now.
She’s a filthy SOW who thinks the law doesn’t apply to her because she’s somehow special. She MUST be deported. The pig is absolutely anti American!
I’d love to break off that stinking finger.
Send her back where she belongs…..Somalia.
He is just here to do sabotage to our country and culture, because we are allied with Israel. Deport her, to the middle of Antarctica!
