    While the political attack defense is definitely part of it, there has been a bipartisan and long running fraud investigation in Minnesota. It began in the Biden admin, and runs parallel to state investigations into a scheme where Federal and State money was obtained under false pretenses and sometimes transferred overseas. A large portion of it did happen in the Somali communities and some of this money is believed to have entered the political scene through various forms of donations and quid pro quo. In that, if those in the state and potentially those who serve in Washington acted to maintain the money flow and received compensation for it, then that could help form the basis of a RICO investigation. Even the city of Minneapolis politicans are implicated in it because Mayor Frey’s wife was an attorney for many of the ones who ended up being convicted during the course of this bipartisan state and federal investigation. His wife had to leave the lawfirm shortly after and there is a high coorelation to the beginning of a Federal probe at the time. By the way, if you want to get paid from a criminal enterprise the best thing to do is be a lawyer for it and charge it large fees.

    Hm, I’m sure it has nothing to do with donnie being butthurt that Ped-o-lago had to be searched since he stole classified documents.

    Also, I’m sure her being a woman, Muslim and a POC has nothing to do with anything…

      It’s because she’s a thief who’s looted the welfare system.

      Trump isn’t Muslim, a woman, or a POC, and he got searched, too. Keep your chin up.

        Huh, yesterday you said I am an “independendophobe”. I guess you aren’t still pretending you’re not a trump supporter?

        Donnie stole classified documents and refused to return them. He was practically daring them to search Ped-o-lago.

        I thought most of the russian data centers doing social media manipulation were burned to the ground. Guess you are from a different one?

        Care to share the location?

            I expect most of the tankies are Russian. And why would we be too small? We’re one of the easier platforms to influence, and we have enough to make the list.

        She may be a shitlib politician, but your characterization of her leaves the reader with only one conclusion: you are a vile bigot.

        Fuck you.

    I can’t help but be reminded of 2016 and Obama holding onto info that Russians were trying to manipulate the election for Trump and the FBI having to be 150% transparent about their investigation into Hillary’s emails. Even though we all knew the emails were nothing.

    All in the name of protecting our democracy. Republicans do not give a shit now as they didn’t in 2016.

      I can’t help but think about 1968 and how LBJ got proof Nixon was colluding with Henry Kissinger to undermine Vietnam peace talks but decided not to go public with it because he didn’t want to have to hang them both for treason

    She’s a thief and a dirtbag. I feel as bad for her as I did for Trump when they searched Mar-A-Largo, i.e. not at all, cry more.

    She had no money when she took office, now she’s a millionaire! Maxine Waters Jr.

    Search ‘Omar Minnesota Somalia welfare fraud’ for more details. Other people have been sent to prison for decades over this already, but she has “congressional plot armor”.
