🚨 𝗜𝗟𝗛𝗔𝗡 𝗢𝗠𝗔𝗥: 𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗛𝗦𝗜? Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) investigates criminal activity including document fraud, financial crime, transnational criminal networks, money laundering and human trafficking. And this morning, HSI executed a federal search warrant at Ilhan Omar’s home. Not the FBI. HSI. Now consider some of the stories surrounding Omar over the past several years. 𝗜𝗠𝗠𝗜𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗗𝗦 Longstanding allegations involving her family’s immigration history and past marriage. Today’s investigation reportedly centers on paperwork completed by her late father. 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗠𝗬𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗢𝗨𝗦 𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗥𝗬 Her husband’s California winery, eStCru, was listed at $1M–$5M on a congressional financial disclosure. Following questions about its operations and finances, an amended disclosure listed it as having no value. The company subsequently filed for termination. 𝗧𝗛𝗘 $𝟯𝟬 𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗤𝗨𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 In February, House Oversight demanded financial records from her husband’s winery and venture-capital firm after their combined disclosed values jumped from no more than $51,000 to as much as $30 million. 𝗙𝗘𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗙𝗨𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘 The massive Minnesota pandemic-benefits fraud scandal. An FBI-led investigation that has also generated political scrutiny of Omar’s connections and legislative actions. No criminal involvement by Omar has been established. 𝗖𝗔𝗠𝗣𝗔𝗜𝗚𝗡 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗧𝗔𝗫 𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗗𝗦 A 2019 Minnesota investigation produced formal findings involving improper campaign expenditures, including immigration-related legal expenses and tax-return issues. Now HSI is executing a criminal search warrant. We don’t know whether any of these older controversies are part of the current investigation. And a search warrant is not a conviction. But HSI’s jurisdiction extends well beyond deportations. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗜’𝗺 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴: 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸, 𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿?

I don't think its a coincidence I had my medical emergency the week before I was scheduled to have dinner with @RenzTom. God works in mysterious ways. This Sunday, I'm joined by my friend, the Viking himself, attorney Tom Renz. He's one of the leading lawyers fighting mandates and medical-system abuses in court. We dig into my own recent ER fight over a gallbladder surgery I didn't need, and so much more. The Mark Messina Project. - A Work in Progress. Parallel 8 Media Sunday, Oct 18 6pm PT | 9pm ET
