Since they didn't like me writing up an opinion piece on the subject for today's Omar update, I'll do it this way instead.

If folks will remember, shortly after Trump briefed the "Gang of 8" as to our intentions to invade Iran, Ilhan Omar took to social media to announce to the world our intentions before they happened. A lot of people naturally wondered if she had tipped our hand to Iran. And rightfully so. What she did was reckless. And for those who don't want to watch the above video about this, here is a shorter writeup on the pertinent points.

quote:

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) said he was "suspicious" that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) might have committed treason by leaking President Donald Trump's plan to strike Iranian leadership, many of whom are now dead.On Tuesday, Sen. Johnson spoke to MAGA influencer Benny Johnson on a broadcast titled, "Ilhan Omar LEAKED U.S. Military Attack Plans to IRAN — Treason?"Benny Johnson alleged that Omar "leaked" Operation Epic Fury to Iran through a post on X four days before the strikes. In the post, the Minnesota Democrat said that it was "sickening to know that the US is again going to attack Iran during Ramadan.""Ilhan Omar told Iran exactly when we would attack," the MAGA influencer said. "She did it in public. And it begs of the question, what did she know? When did she know it?""I can't find any other tweets from any other members of Congress staying with such precise certitude when we're going to attack Iran," he added before introducing Ron Johnson. "Let's jump on over to our senator. Ladies and gentlemen, Senator Ron Johnson, locked and loaded and ready to go. Is Ilhan Omar a traitor?""And given the fact that Rubio and the CIA director had just briefed the gang of eight about our war plans, you know, I mean, it just seems Iran — I just see the timing just seems very strange to me, and extremely reckless, of course, Americans have now died in this conflict, and it bothers us."Sen. Johnson agreed: "Well, it is suspicious. I certainly don't trust the Congresswoman.""You know, it's one of the reasons that we've given — the Constitution gives the President of the United States the authority over these foreign affairs and quite honestly kind of military action," the senator continued. "You cannot brief Congress and expect to hold or have war plans held confidential. They're going to leak.""You're going to have people that might be traitors that way."

Article that is really just repeating what was said in the above video.

In addition to a US Senator speculating that the congresswoman may have committed treason by passing classified intelligence to our enemies, you also have a deposition from a 2019 court case out of Florida where a Canadian businessman claimed under oath that Qatar had recruited Omar and that she had passed classified information along that ended up in Iran. So this sort of stuff is not even new to this current situation, but is apparently something that has been being said about her since 2019.

See, if we only had a dedicated Ilhan Omar thread to put all of this stuff in, the daily update wouldn't have to stick in people's craw when it comes in the form of an opinion. But yes, it looks like the investigation may take a turn into illegal sharing of classified intelligence and we have all already seen the evidence of her doing it.

Is this a discussion board, or is it not? Do all threads have to come with sauce, or can we just present topics like, "hey guys, this is what this investigation is beginning to look like to someone like myself who has been following it closely" ?
