MODERATORS
 

United States President Donald Trump has suggested that the Department of Justice (DOJ) is investigating the wealth of Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar as his administration grapples with the fallout from the killing of demonstrator Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.

The Republican president also said on Monday that he is sending his border czar, Tom Homan, to the state of Minnesota, which has been witnessing protests since federal immigration officers fatally shot Pretti, a 37-year-old nurse, there on Saturday morning.

“Additionally, the DOJ and Congress are looking at ‘Congresswoman’ Illhan Omar, who left Somalia with NOTHING, and is now reportedly worth more than 44 Million Dollars. Time will tell all.”

Omar’s net worth has increased into the millions of dollars in recent years due to her husband’s wealth. Omar serves in the US House of Representatives, representing Minnesota.

Trump thinks everybody is dirty, and can be scared by an "investigation".

Every accusation is an admission.

Projection. Republicans ought to run a movie theater.

They'd burn through the fucking screens.

Republicans are running a movie theater. Except they run it like a Boulder Colorado movie theater showing The Dark Knight Rises.

Well we know the buying a property and claiming it as your primary residence was. As she showed the application for the loan to a source right after being accused of it. And then another news company followed up on it and showed Trump filed applications to buy two properties in Florida claiming they were going to be his primary residence.... While simultaneously claiming his primary residence was elsewhere. (I think Mar-A-Lago, but can't remember)

My first rule of life: People are most suspicious of their own behavior. Cheaters think every one is cheating on them, thieves think everyone is stealing from them. If someone baselessly accuses you of something, they're most likely doing it themselves.

When the investigators are ideologically committed to punishing political opponents for any perceived slights, one doesn't have to be guilty of anything to be worried about being investigated...

Everyone except himself, of course. Every single investigation into him has been a "witch hunt"!

Didn't he even make a task force called the Office of the Weaponization of Government?

Corrupt people think everyone has to be corrupt, liars think everyone has to be a liar, so on and so forth…
