Feds found evidence Ilhan Omar was in sham marriage with her ‘brother' during 2016 probe
[NYP] Federal investigators found evidence that Rep. Ilhan Omar had entered into a sham marriage with a man believed to be her brother during a 2016 investigation by the FBI and Department of Homeland Security, but the case against the Minnesota Democrat stalled after prosecutors concluded that any potential crime occurred outside the five-year statute of limitations.

The 2016 investigation into Omar’s marraige to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi was first reported by the New York Times and confirmed by The Post, with a source familiar with the probe claiming the "Biden US Attorney in Minnesota shut it down" shortly after taking office in 2021.

It is not immediately clear what specific evidence was uncovered about Omar’s marriage to Elmi.

The congresswoman, who was pursuing a seat in Minnesota’s legislature at the time the investigation was launched, has insisted allegations that she married her brother so he could obtain a green card are a racist conspiracy theory pushed by the far-right.

The Post reported Wednesday that Elmi came to live with Omar and her first husband, Ahmed Hirsi, in Minnesota in 2009. A friend of Hirsi described Elmi as an "extremely feminine Somali guy" who "was walking around in tight female clothing, which is heavily frowned upon in the Somali community."

The source said that when he asked Hirsi about Elmi, Omar’s ex said "it was his wife’s brother from London and that Ilhan had ’embarrassed all of us by bringing him here’. Ahmed used very strong words and said it was ’disgusting.'"

"All of the Somalis in Minneapolis were gossiping and trying to find out who this guy was," added the friend. "Then everyone realized it was ... Ilhan’s brother. Everybody was shocked ... [Hirsi] explained that she had married him legally to get him papers and that [Hirsi] was only Islamically married to her."

40 House Democrats Won't Sign Letter Defending Ilhan Omar ‐ and Nancy Pelosi Is One of Them. Why?

[RedState] In February 2023, every single House Democrat tried to block Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-05)’s removal from the House Foreign Affairs Committee over her past comments about Israel. Republicans were able to prevail, however, and she was given the boot.

Fast forward to today, and something has changed.

As Omar faces two Department of Justice investigations — one for alleged financial shenanigans, and the other for potential immigration violations — many Democrats are still supporting the embattled representative. On Monday, 175 House Democrats signed a letter penned by Rep. Pramila Jayapal (WA-07) that accused the DOJ and DHS of weaponizing law enforcement.

Because nowadays they care so much about such things. # id) ?>

a horse of another color

**A horse of another color** (also **a horse of a different color**) is an idiom meaning **a completely different matter or issue**. It is used to indicate that a new topic, situation, or fact is distinct from and often unrelated to the one previously discussed.

* **Origin**: The phrase likely evolved from a line in Shakespeare’s *Twelfth Night* ("a horse of that colour"), which originally meant "the same matter." By the mid-1800s, the usage shifted to emphasize difference rather than likeness.
* **Usage Example**: "I thought we agreed on the budget, but your new proposal is **a horse of a different color**."
* **Pop Culture**: The idiom was famously literalized in the 1939 film *The Wizard of Oz, where the carriage horse in the Emerald City changes colors, prompting the driver to exclaim, "Well, bust my buttons! So she is! That’s a horse of a different color!" The effect was achieved by sponging white horses with flavored **Jell-O** crystals.

4 I've said it many times here. We knew 10 fricking years ago about Omar. So who the hell is/was running the Minnesota office of the FBI and DOJ? And who told them to stand down? Trump could have taken care of this in his first term.

Liz Colins over at Alpha News interviewed the (head of MN FBI?) and didn't ask the dick head. I don't know why she held back.
