Ilhan Omar arrived in DC today, her first day back since multiple federal investigations kicked off against her.
She was pressed about those investigations more than once by multiple reporters today.
And, oddly, the Somali Congresswoman responded that she really didn’t know much about the investigations ongoing against her!
The thing that makes Omar’s response so comical is that she had just wrapped up a multi-hour meeting with her lawyers prior to being questioned by the press!
I guess one could theorize that Omar was simply napping in the corner while her lawyers hashed out the details of the DOJ and DHS investigations.
But it’s probably far more likely that she’s simply out of witty responses with the realization that the jig — her corrupt jig of fleecing America — is almost up.
One of the clips shared by Benny Johnson on X shows Omar feigning ignorance, even while the Fox News reporter asked if she’d talked about the investigations with House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries:
As Benny Johnson alluded to in his post, the clobbering Republicans took in the midterms might shake up how Congress does or doesn’t deal with Ilhan Omar’s corruption.
But the DOJ and the Dept. of Homeland Security — who are the actual federal entities within the Executive Branch currently investigating her potential crimes — don’t operate at the whim of Congress!
Any lawyer worth his salt would have already warned Omar about that stubborn fact.
Which might be the very reason she resorted to pure ignorance when pressed on both federal probes, as was reported by Fox News:
And if you thought that was a misleading play by Omar…
You haven’t seen anything yet.
Watch as she literally runs from the camera in this compilation of footage today, following the more basic question about the investigations.
In the second part of this clip shared by Fox News on X you can hear the reporter switch to the topic of her ‘second husband’ coming out as gay.
Check out this clip, and watch her scurry away:
The information brought up by the Fox News reporter in that clip references reporting by the New York Post that Omar’s second husband has now claimed to be gay.
That ties in to the investigations scrutinizing Omar’s marriages and the potential that she lied to federal agents in order to help her own brother’s immigration process.
The funny part about this new reporting from the New York Post is that it emphasizes how he came out: in an academic research paper on Kenyan anti-gay violence!
I swear — you can’t make this stuff up.
So when the Fox News Reporter then tried to quiz Omar on that issue, you could see her nearly running in that clip to the temporary safety of a nearby office!
Here’s the current reporting on that side of the Ilhan Omar controversy according to the New York Post:
With so many fabrications seemingly coming unraveled, I’m genuinely shocked that Omar DIDN’T use her diplomatic passport to try and flee the US a few weeks ago when the investigations became known!
If you remember, the Fox News reporter in the first clip I shared had the foresight to ask the Congresswoman a very pertinent question.
He specifically asked if she had spoken at all to House Minority Leader Jeffries about the investigations.
And he even brought up the possibility that she might step down.
Those questions in particular put Jeffries himself squarely in the hot seat, and I’d bookmark this next clip for future reference.
Because just ONE DAY EARLIER Jeffries was questioned point blank at a press conference about his allegiance to Ilhan Omar, specifically in regards to the potential that she did commit immigration fraud.
Here was his answer, as covered by Forbes:
It’s one thing to generically issue a call for accountability against corruption.
It is an entirely more POLITICALLY DANGEROUS move to stick your neck out and make the sort of absolute denial that Jeffries made in that clip.
I’m guessing if you’re a fly in his office, you would have seen him cussing himself out following that briefing for getting trapped by his own words.
There are now TWO questions hanging in my mind concerning these investigations against Ilhan Omar.
The first is obvious — what happens to her if the DOJ or DHS prove any number of corruption allegations against her true?
The second has more to do with Hakeem Jeffries, and the question of how he’ll handle the fallout if a Democrat Congresswoman under his direct leadership is found guilty of multiple federal crimes after so vocally claiming the moral high road in that previous clip.
Bookmark that video!
If the investigations against Omar prove worthwhile… we’re going to want to watch that clip of Jeffries again, again, and again.
