3 Does Bock have any evidence that will stand up in a trial?

I don't see DOJ going after a member of Congress without strong evidence of a crime they can prove in court.

4 I want Omar to go to trial to see whether her lawyers claim that she is too stupid to be charged with a crime. They would have a lot of evidence to support that defense. World War Eleven was a classic.

5 More political bullshit. If it was you or me, we would be in jail awaiting trial. But not her. So either this is all lies, or our political class is protecting her for political hay making. Either way our director of the FBI is complicit. The MAGA republicans will drag this on for years, just to divide and get votes without any concern for justice. Charge her or stop talking about it!

6 Actually, what Bock said was there was no way Omar couldn't have known. Not exactly the same thing.

7 even if Omar knew the general details of the fraud, she hasn't committed a crime by not telling the authorities

if she knew specific details about crime that was ongoing maybe she could be charged with conspiracy but I think even that is doubtful

8 Face it. As a member of "The Squad", an African-American Somali, and a Democrat, NOTHING is going to happen to her. Even if someone finds a videotape of her accepting money, directing the creation of a Learing Center, witnessed and certified by multiple unimpeachable witnesses, nothing will happen to her. If someone tries, she will just scream RACIST, ISLAMOPHOBE, weaponization of the DOJ until it goes away.

9 Aimee Bock was not convicted of perjury but she clearly lied under oath at her trial and could be convicted of that if the Feds wanted that.

However, her lying under oath will make her testimony about Omar pretty worthless.
