Ilhan Omar ex‑bodyguard Abdullahi Mohamed indicted
This story is unbelievable. The Justice Department has been mobilized by the White House to use any means necessary to get Ilhan Omar, not because there's any evidence she ever committed a crime but because the president is a gutter racist who hates her. www.nytimes.com/2026/11/11/u...
This is the sickness that people voted to make stop.
It's also *yet another* attack on the people of Minneapolis, who have elected Ilhan again and again because we love her, and are walking every day around the memorials of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, who were shot by Trump agents sent because he hates our Somali community and us for loving them.
I couldn’t put it any better myself. The gutter racism is the central core of Republican expression now.
So the federal government threatened a man to get him to falsify statements to incriminate Congresswoman Omar?
If Hakeem Jeffries & Chuck Schumer were not also bigots who hate any Muslim that dares to criticize Israel, they would be making a much bigger deal about this. But what can we expect from the "centrist" Democrats when their zionist buddy Biden opened the investigation against Ilhan Omar too
The especially chilling detail is the alleged leverage: treating a green-card application as an opening to pressure someone into helping build a case against Omar. That turns immigration enforcement into a political weapon.
Wild I really hope Oversight Dems dig deep on all this rampant criminality, because a lot of these records are going to get destroyed before anyone else gets them
surely weaponizing the Justice Department against your own legislative branch is an impeachable offense
Impeachable offense in a normal world
Springfield is now a state-sponsored pogrom. What is this?
He got sued for being racist BY THE NIXON ADMINISTRATION, let’s not forget.
Bruce Rivers has a great YouTube channel, btw.
I get that she’s not a broadly popular figure. But we need to make the corruption of the DOJ a key issue going forward.
Never forget that they reached out to President Zelensky to get him to implicate Joe and Hunter Biden in some made up scam to influence the Presidential election. The only reason it failed is because Zelensky refused to participate.
Administration-ending scandal at any other time in American history part I’m so fucking tired of keeping count
He wants a human sacrifice for his followers. Red meat to toss to the dogs to tear apart.
Unconscionable. This guy had visited Omar's office once and worked on a security detail for her overseas once. They threatened him with five years in jail if he didn't give them incriminating evidence about Congresswoman Omar, despite his insistence there was none. www.nytimes.com/2026/11/11/u...
A reminder that the "crime" they're trying to dig up on Omar is that as a refugee, she had no birth certificate, and they are hoping that when her dad got status, she was actually 18 not 17 and didn't qualify automatically. And thus they can invalidate her status and deport an elected congresswoman.
And Chuck Schumer has still not condemned this? Huh, seems disqualifying, just like his refusal to endorse Mamdani against crooked sex pest Cuomo.
Here's all the documents from the indictment to the charges being dropped, I'm sure there are fun things somewhere in here
Say the words: they were under orders (from Blanche or Trump, doesn't matter) to make a criminal case against Omar whether she commited a crime or not. They were fabricating evidence.
I hope Dems understand the job ahead of them. Being elected into power doesn’t solve the years of corruption allowed by weak institutions and rotten political culture. A lot of this goes back way beyond Trump years.
Hey, maybe it wasn’t a good idea to put a bunch of racist criminals who want to run the country like a mob family in charge of the entire government. Just a thought.
A common tactic used against AIM members as well.
This is for the “we should try and work with the President” folks.
In two years, every Democrat running against anyone even tangentially related to this administration needs to be talking about them the way Jon Ossoff talked about Mike Collins
Has Schumer opined about treating a member of his party being treated this way? Jeffries has, I’ll give him that
The Nazis are doubling down. They need a win to soothe their embarrassment at midterm. This is what trump voters voted for. Are they repentant and protesting ice in their towns?
I think literally everyone involved in doing that should go to prison forever
Whatever your politics or your view of Ilhan Omar, this is incredibly dystopian
So it's inappropriate for the Legislative Branch to investigate the Executive Branch for the purpose of inflicting pain on government officials. But the Executive Branch can investigate Ilhan Omar to inflict pain on her? Got it!
Trump's entire legal strategy is: investigate everyone, hide everything from Congress, and call every subpoena against him "lawfare" while his own subpoenas are "patriotism." It's not governance, it's a grift with better lawyers.
Omar, Cassidy, and Comey. And others. All for the glee of a pissy, sadistic toddler.
Why doesn't anyone ever challenge them with questions that point out their hypocrisy?
This is a regime where malignant narcissism is a job requirement. The total lack of self-reflection is staggaring.
This is a wild abuse of power. The White House ordered bullshit charges against this guy to coerce him into helping them manufacture evidence against a sitting member of Congress. www.nytimes.com/2026/11/11/u...
It's what these incompetent twats did in Ukraine too with Biden. Apparently it's a go-to tactic. Wonder how many times it's worked?
It is a Nazi regime. Trump is American Hitler. Todd Blanche is a Himmler-level American Nazi. They are open enemies of American democracy & the American Republic.
this is the sort of thing that got Charles I executed. It’s a direct attack on the sort of legislative independence that’s been baseline for like 500 years!
I hate how much the media at large, Democrats, “moderates,” make us feel like we are insane radicals for believing Trump needs to be impeached. HE NEEDS TO BE IMPEACHED. Whether it f’ing works or not.
This makes me believe that they aren’t actually going to file charges. This is not someone you want to be cross examined
And who in congress stood up for her? That’s a big problem for me.
They tried to flip her personal security in order to drump up charges.
As you know, Maga has no limit—no bottom.
Has Schumer said *anything* about this?
I'm surprised he has Bruce Rivers, Criminal Lawyer!
They won’t stop until someone kills her
She's going to be able to sue the US government for ridiculous money. If she then donates everything beyond her legal fees, she'd come out of this smelling like a rose. Punish the evildoers, and restitution to those they've harmed
In a truly just society, Todd Blanche would come out of this situation with fewer testicles than he came into it with, but that's not the world we live in.
One of the first things Senate Judiciary should investigate is the vast amount of taxpayer dollars and government resources going into this witch hunt against Rep. Omar. This level of politically-motivated federal investigation against a sitting member of Congress is virtually unprecedented.
This coming from a White House that is warning Dems about frivolous prosecutions. Pardon the peals of mirth. The White House has reached new depths with this one.
Why am I not surprised?
Drumph up charges. My bad, it was right there. But yea the shit is blatant
The powerful people really want to end this woman, and why?
More evidence of the US Department of Justice functioning exactly like an organized crime syndicate. Question: can the RICO statutes be applied to federal prosecutors? What they do here seems to meet RICO predicates.
Where’s Ken White when you need him
That they never mention Merrick Garland is so telling about the last administration & the US justice system. He was corrupt AF & anyone who said anything about it was harrassed by blue maga troll bots on x.
This is beyond vile. This DOJ lawyers should be disciplined or even disbarred.
Except…they’re the agency who would hold…themselves?…accountable.
The Trump Administration has been blatant criminality. "...the Trump administration, going as far as claiming that such investigations — a standard oversight function of Congress -- may amount to "blatant criminality." www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...
Didn’t the White House spend the last two years going after James Comey, Letitia James and Ilhan Omar?
Among many others! And when Comey’s daughter won her lawsuit against her illegal firing, that evening, the DOJ filed a 3rd suit against Comey. The difference is that Dems will be going after actual criminals, not political enemies.
Don't forget Jack Smith and Dr. Fauci! Republicans made threats to jail those two for lying.
If Hakeem Jeffries & Chuck Schumer were not also bigots who hate any Muslim that dares to criticize Israel, they would be making a much bigger deal about this. But what can we expect from the "centrist" Democrats when their zionist buddy Biden opened the investigation against Ilhan Omar too
Ironically, the name Hakeem comes from Arabic, meaning: "Wise," "intelligent," "judicious," or "sage", it can also mean "ruler," "judge," or "governor". It is historically used as a title or term for a traditional physician or herbal medicine practitioner in parts of South Asia and the Middle East.
Let's get leadership who will dismantle ICE. Leadership that is not beholden to Wall Street, and surveillance tech. Chris Van Hollen for Senate Majority Leader and Ayanna Pressley for Speaker of the House!! There's a petition to get Ayanna for Speaker on change.org.
None of it was right but I think it's time we make it a "thing" to vet candidates more thoroughly before they are put on the ballot. She would have been investigated and okayed before she ran and no one could 2nd guess it. Would've helped weed out Graham Platner, Eric Swallwell and lots of others.
"Federal prosecutors filed a felony charge earlier this year against a man who briefly served as a bodyguard for Representative Ilhan Omar in what his lawyer described as an unusual gambit to obtain incriminating information about the lawmaker."
anyone who has had any worry that the feds have even a tiny bit of something real should have that fear assuaged by this story. they have *nothing* nothing
Gift link for that story about the administration’s relentless persecution of our Congresswoman and her staff
