Quote:Allegedly used her position in House of Representatives to access sensitive information which she relayed to Qatar, and through them to Iran

US Congresswoman Ilhan Omar was recruited by a foreign government, passed sensitive information that was relayed to Iran, and received funding by a foreign government, according to a sworn deposition by a Canadian businessman in a Florida court.

In explosive testimony made by video link from Toronto, Canada to a Florida District Court on October 23, Kuwaiti-born Alan Bender claims to have deep ties with governments and royal officials across the Middle East including Qatar. In his statement, he says he met Qatar’s Secretary to the Emir for Security Affairs Mohammad bin Ahmed bin Abdullah al-Masnad and two other senior Qatari officials.

The three allegedly claimed credit for the meteoric rise of Omar, saying: “If it wasn't for our cash, Ilhan Omar would be just another black Somali refugee in America collecting welfare and serving tables on weekends,” according to Bender’s sworn deposition. The deposition was obtained by Al Arabiya English and authenticated by the attorney for the plaintiffs.

Bender was subpoenaed in a lawsuit against the Qatari emir’s brother, Sheikh Khalid bin Hamad al-Thani, who stands accused of ordering his American bodyguard to murder two people and holding his hired American paramedic prisoner. In his deposition, Bender testifies about his meetings with Al-Masnad and other Qatari officials in which they mentioned the Sheikh Khalid case, and discusses Qatar’s campaign to influence Western politicians.

In the testimony, Bender claims to have been asked to recruit American politicians and journalists to be Qatari assets. He says he objected and the Qatari officials responded by saying that several American politicians and journalists were already on the payroll—most prominently Omar, who was allegedly described as the “jewel of the crown”, according to the deposition.

The controversial congresswoman has already been found to have broken campaign finance rules. The Minnesota Campaign Finance Board ruled in June that Omar violated state campaign finance rules by improperly using campaign money for out-of-state travel while serving as a state representative. In addition, Conservative group Judicial Watch has called on the House Ethics Committee to investigate Omar for alleged offences including immigration fraud, the New York Post reported in July. Last week, the New York Post reported that Omar paid $150,000 to a political consulting group where Tim Mynett is a partner in the three months after the newspaper revealed that the pair were romantically involved.

Bender’s accusations go much further. According to his testimony, Al-Masnad said that Qatar “recruited Ilhan Omar from even way before she thought about becoming a government official.… They groomed her and arranged the foundation, the grounds, for her to get into politics way before she even showed interest. They convinced her.” For her part, Omar cooperated with the Qataris and received cash payments, he alleges in the deposition.

American and Turkish media previously reported that Omar met Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, a key supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood, when she was a junior state representative in Minnesota in 2017. According to Bender, Omar met Erdogan and allegedly swore allegiance to him.

Bender claims that once Omar took office, she used her position in the House of Representatives to access sensitive information which she relayed to Qatar, and through them to Iran.

According to Bender’s deposition, Omar’s role in the Qatari influence campaign is crucial. She actively recruited other politicians on behalf of Qatar, he said in the deposition. The Qataris claimed that “the best thing money can buy are American officials because they are the cheapest of the cheapest costing officials in the world,” according to his sworn testimony.

As much as I dislike her, I really hope none of that is true.

What is the protocol for this - do they shut her access off completely until they can vet these claims? This stuff cannot happen without some kind of paper/money/electronic trail

Oh, I hope it's true all right. I hope that she gets to defend herself in a court of law and everything gets out in the open and her in a yellow coverall.

She's proven time and again that she's an America hating Muslim.

If it’s true I hope they raise money for charity by selling lottery tickets for a chance to be on a firing squad.

Democrats will not care

So, Ilhan Omar is an unappreciative, anti-American, campaign finance violating, anti-Semitic, home-wrecking, brother-marrying whore that happens to be a foreign agent working for a shithole Middle eastern country against US interests.

Diversity ain't so grand in this form. If she is guilty of this accusation, so deserves nothing less than the maximum punishment, as do those complicit in her acts.

He also claimed that Jared Kushner's an asset, and he was paid off via them purchasing a property well above market value. The guy making the claims is part of some ring of general dissidents from the Middle East, one of which is a Youtuber living in the UK and another's Imam Tawhidi, who Conservative Inc likes to prop up as the "good Muslim" due to his foreign policy opinions.

I'd wait for the proof on this one. Kushner's behavior screams "foreign asset," but not a Qatari one.

Why? I hope it's true and she does lengthy prison time as a warning to others. If it's shown that any info she provided resulted in egregious harm to the country or to any individuals that she's put to death as a traitor.

Adding context isn't deflecting. I'm just skeptical. Show me the receipts.

The building on 5th Ave he had trouble with he sold it over a year, or did a 99 year lease, to Brookfield.

I only hope that because of any damage that she could have done. If any of that is true she should spend the rest of her life in a jail cell with no windows for treason. Let he be a martyr in a 6x8.

Not only will they care, they will cheer her on.

Here's an interesting read...

CAIR’s Goal: 30 Islamists into Congress

Quote:CAIR’s executive director Nihad Awad shares the “formula” he believes will secure Islamists greater political power:

“A strong CAIR equals a strong community. A strong community will produce a strong and confident and successful Muslim … “So I’m telling you tonight we are going to work in the next years, inshallah (God willing], to elect at least 30 Muslims in the Congress. This number is equivalent to our size and our potential as American Muslims. Including at least two [U.S.] senator Muslims.”

In addition, Awad envisions Muslim judges, including a justice on the U.S. Supreme Court, along with an Islamist extension of Hollywood.

Same here. These days people accuse other people of anything and everything to push an agenda or for whatever reason. We are seeing it with Trump since his election. I don't care for Omar one bit but I woudn't jump on this train yet.

I guess Qatar's a major investor in Brookfield.
