BIG Ilhan Omar update:

I know you are disgusted by @IlhanMN’s lawless behavior lately, and her anti-Semitic demand we only sanction Israel, not Turkey and Iran.

So here's some good news.

Several weeks ago, I gave pivotal, never-published info on @IlhanMN to the FBI. (1/x)

@IlhanMN A formal complaint had been filed with DOJ -- and DOJ actually responded. DOJ arranged a meeting w/ an FBI SAC.

I have been beyond pleasantly surprised by how receptive the FBI has been w/ me and others in this matter. (2/x)

@IlhanMN If a federal investigation is opened based upon this meeting, I believe the never-published information I shared should quickly lead the FBI to conclusive evidence that @IlhanMN committed numerous felonies between 2009-2017.

(3/x)

@IlhanMN I have had the information I shared w/ the FBI for about a year.

Despite its value, I felt that publishing it would be an unacceptable violation of two of @IlhanMN’s family members’ privacy.

But I believe it is in the public’s best interest for the FBI to have it. (4/x)

@IlhanMN I’m finally hopeful that, for once, a notable Democrat will be subject to the rule of law.

Let’s see what happens.

One more thing:

I’ve often said that the 3-year @IlhanMN national disgrace only happened because MSM such as @StarTribune chose to lie to you. (5/x)

@IlhanMN @StarTribune My @ilhanMN investigation has taken effort and dedication -- but it hasn’t been rocket science.

Here’s how badly the media has failed Minnesota voters:

**I have never set foot in Minnesota.**

(I never set foot in Virginia while helping tip Brat/Cantor, either.)

(6/x)

@IlhanMN @StarTribune I’ve worked w/ nothing but a laptop and a phone from several states away.

This job, investigative journalism, simply isn’t that difficult.

But getting professional work done at a corrupt, biased mainstream outlet?

*That’s* difficult.

Or perhaps no longer possible. (7/x)

@IlhanMN @StarTribune I don’t know the combined budgets of every paper and TV news affiliate in Minnesota.

But it’s exponentially higher than what I -- and many other journalists who choose not to work for mainstream outlets -- are pulling in from independent outlets and GoFundMe.

(8/x)

@IlhanMN @StarTribune Please lend a hand.

This absurd situation won’t end until you cancel your MSM subscriptions, and send your budgeted media dollars to the good guys.

I'd be honored if you start here :) →
