[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An FEC complaint has been filed.

[quote]Rep. Ilhan Omar violated campaign finance law by using campaign funds to pursue an affair with married Democratic consultant Tim Mynett, according to a complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) Wednesday.

Omar’s campaign has disbursed $223,000 to Tim Mynett’s company, E. Street Group, LLC, from August 2018 through June 2019, mostly for fundraising consulting, FEC records show. But on April 1, her campaign began making payments to E. Street Group for “travel expenses.”

Less than a week later, on April 7, Tim Mynett confessed to his wife that he was “romantically involved with and in love with” Omar, according to a divorce filing Tuesday by Dr. Beth Jordan Mynett.

Beth Mynett said in her filing that her husband’s “more recent travel and long work hour snow appear to be more related to his affair with Rep. Omar than with his actual work commitments.”

Omar’s campaign disbursed $21,547 to cover travel expenses for E. Street Group across eight payments from April through June, FEC records show. Tim Mynett, 38, is a partner with the company, according to his LinkedIn profile and is one of the company’s governors, according to business filings submitted D.C. Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs.

The timing of the Omar campaign’s travel reimbursements to E. Street Group coinciding with the start of Omar’s alleged affair with Tim Mynett is suspect, according to an FEC complaint filed Wednesday by the conservative National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC).[/quote]

Isn't this essentially what Nashville's mayor resigned for? I think she was also charged with something. Using campaign or tax dollars to fund her affair with a cop.[/quote]

The issue seems to be whether the travel was part of his job or was purely romantic.  It actually seems like harassment to me, since there's no real reason to think that he was paid for work properly until April but then improperly after that.

But if it turns out that he no longer was doing any work but was merely traveling romantically with her, then that's a problem.  Only an ethical one, since we've apparently dismantled the FEC.  [/quote]

The curious thing to me is that for a year, they paid him a couple hundred thousand for consulting services.  Then, beginning in April 2019, they started paying travel expenses.  Seems fishy.  [/quote]
Yup.[/quote]

You both sound too conservative.

Party like it's 2019 and someone else's money.[/quote]
