No, instigated by the FBI -- you know, the same FBI we're supposed to side with because "the fat man in the White House" is attacking them.

There's overwhelming evidence Omar married her brother. The only question is whether the feds want to wade into that hornet's nest to determine whether it was for the purpose of committing immigration fraud.

Wow, reported by The Blaze and NYPost and debunked by a factchecker (yes, yes, I know, facts are biased....). Let us know how this turns out! You've probably really got her this time!

Yep.. None of the reputable news sites are following this. Moderator cut: trolling/off topic

I googled a few fact checker sites. This story is rated unproven. I'm not a fan of Omar but I think the people that are pushing this story are the same people that pushed the "birther" hoax regarding Barack Obama's citizenship.

So up to five years and a fine of $250,000 if she did marry her brother. And there is a lot of evidence that suggests that she did.

Seriously, where do they get these people. She is an elected member of Congress, for crying out loud.
I am no fan of Omar. Having said this, why not suspend judgment until the FBI concludes one way or another?

I've been called a conspiracy theorist by many for merely suggesting this was a possibility. The left denies all allegations about democratic politicians that sound "too far out there". They refuse to read or consider any information that suggests there may be truth to these types of allegations. They allow these politicians to get away with whatever they want pretty much, and that's why their politicians have become so brazen.

He isn't. And hasn't been for two years. Do try to keep up. If you are that far behind on current events, well...

Adultery isn't illegal. Nor should it be. Also, Hill resigned last October. Do try to keep up.

As for Omar, I'm content to wait on the results of the FBI investigation. Since these allegations are several years old, the FBI does not seem to feel any great urgency on the matter.

Adultery isn't illegal. Nor should it be. If Hill's voters want to re-elect her, defeat her, or recall her, they can. It's not up to Pelosi.

As for Omar, I'm happy to wait on the results of the FBI investigation. Since these allegations are several years old, the FBI does not seem to feel any great urgency on the matter.
I apologize for not using the sarcasm tag, but my entire post was facetious because I found Cape Cod Todd's ignorance exasperating.

Todd has a propensity for making false generalizations about Democrats. In this case, he said Democrats forgive their own for even serious crimes. So I cited two fairly recent examples where Democrats held their own politically accountable and forced them to resign for very minor crimes.
