Ilhan Omar is a lot of things. A tax cheat, an alleged brother marrier for immigration fraud and a homewrecker, among her many traits that includes rabid anti-Semitism. Omar is 38 years old and recently married Tim Mynett, the guy she was screwing around with even as he was married to another woman and had a kid. Ilhan Omar is only 38 years old and is now on her third marriage already. First it was “allegedly” her brother, than someone named Ahmed Hirsi. Now, it’s Tim Mynett who magically took 40% of Omar’s campaign cash for his firm. And yet, Ilhan Omar still gets away without so much as a slap on the wrist. It’s good to be a Democrat.

It turns out that nearly half (40%) of all of Omar’s 2020 election cycle campaign expenses went directly to her new husband’s firm. And despite her repeated previous denials, the idea that the two of them weren’t engaged in a romantic relationship throughout that period of time is now simply laughable. But was any of this against the law? There’s been an FEC complaint filed, calling for an investigation into these payments. Also, Charlie Kirk piped up recently to ask how this isn’t a campaign finance violation.
We should keep in mind, however, that there’s a difference between garbage optics in politics and actual violations of the law. Yes, this all looks bad. Really bad. It stinks on ice. But if E Street Group is a legitimate firm (as it appears to be) and they can document valid work that they were doing for the campaign, it’s not illegal for your boyfriend’s firm to be the entity doing it. And one of Mynett’s partners is already on record saying they can document all of the work that various staffers there did for Omar’s campaign on a daily basis. Unless he’s lying, it sounds like the FEC will come up dry on this investigation.
As I mentioned above, most of the questions about Omar’s marriage to her new husband (this is her fourth marriage to three different men) are probably nobody’s business unless there are some campaign finance hijinks involved. What may still be of slightly more interest, is her marriage to her previous husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. We’ve seen repeated reports alleging that Elmi and Omar are brother and sister. Politifact, the Associated Press and the Minneapolis Star-Tribune have looked deeply into that question and none were able to reach a definitive answer one way or the other.
