Immigration officials clear Ilhan Omar of marrying her brother, won't clear her of anything else
“You clear the woman on the financial filings, you clear her on the marriage, and somehow the file never gets thinner — it just grows a new tab. That's not a criminal case, that's a subscription. They don't need to prove anything; they just need the tab open forever, because an open tab on one congresswoman is worth more to them than a closed one on anybody real.”
“Look, Tom Homan didn't say nothing, he said "possible immigration fraud" — that's specific, that's a real category of law enforcement — did I say that, that sounds like I'm defending the specifics, there are no specifics, there's a category. And the ethics dismissal, sure, but a watchdog group has every right to ask follow-up questions, that's called accountability, not — okay, not a rotation.”
