Here is an easy to understand timeline of @Ilhan Omar's marriages and immigration fraud. She should be expelled from Congress and the United States. What say you @RepJeffries ?

[Avery Daye @AveryDaye]

2002: Ilhan Omar marries husband one in a mosque. They have two kids in that marriage. They "split" in 2008.

2009: she legally marries husband two in a Christian church. No mosque would do it because apparently the muslim community knew him as her brother.
While married to him, she has her third child with husband one and files joint tax returns with husband one in 2014 and 2015.

A former friend says she told the community she needed papers so her brother could go to school.

2017: she divorces the husband/brother and remarries husband one a month later.

Sounds like fraud to me. #kalshipartner

A good point is being made by @AssocAnderson , will @SenLouiseLucas rat on her conspirators to get a reduced sentence or keep The Lucas Crime Family out of jail? This is a great story to follow over the next few months.

It seems the @vademocrats have circled the wagons, but that won't last long.

[Tim Anderson @AssocAnderson]

For everyone saying “marijuana is legal” in Virginia consider this.

The law still remains that distributing more than five pounds of marijuana is a felony punishable by imprisonment of not less than five nor more than 30 years. 18.2-248.1 Va Code. Distribution of marijuana is also a felony under 21 USC 841.

The indictment against the Lucas family indicates, among many other things, in 2022 Louise Lucas wrote a check for 3-5 pounds of marijuana to her cannabis business.

So yes… the Feds do have a case if these facts can be proven - she’s going to be convicted of distribution. Any defense lawyer will say this - they don’t have to prove 100% of the indictment. This part of the indictment seems to be devastating.

But the bigger issues now loom - the members of the cannibas commission that were taking orders from Lucas (allegedly) on who gets a license and who doesn’t have liability. The legislators that knew of this and participated have liability. The Portsmouth Commonwealth Attorney who let all of this happen under her watch could be implicated.

Lucas can act all tough - but in the end - she will sing like a canary to save her hide - and everyone in her orbit is going to get sucked in.

@VaNewsVanguard It was $0.162 per gallon until 2020, then they started tinkering with it.

[US Attorney Pirro @USAttyPirro]

This morning, two former senior FBI officials, Nikki Floris, 46, and Bradley Benavides, 56, surrendered on arrest warrants after being charged with lying to Congress about their roles on the Foreign Influence Task Force during the 2020 election.  Floris and Benavides allegedly lied to Congress about their roles in the FBI’s Hunter Biden investigations, with one claiming they only learned about it from Wikipedia - despite evidence showing their involvement in helping shape the public narrative about Hunter Biden’s laptop right before the election.

Lying to Congress by anyone strikes at the heart of our democratic system, but when senior FBI agents lie to Congress believing they are above the law, it’s time to bring the hammer of justice down on them. When senior officials entrusted with safeguarding our nation’s security choose deception over duty, they undermine the very institutions they swore to uphold.

Today’s action makes clear that no one is above the law, and we will hold accountable all who obstruct the truth.

[Mark Griffin @ClickonVirginia]

What say you @SpeakerJohnson and @hakeemjeffries?

[Mark Griffin @ClickonVirginia]

I'm no fan of @SenLouiseLucas , I disagree with many of her policies. Here is a great breakdown of the charges against her. She's 82 years old, any jail time will be a life sentence.

[Tim Anderson @AssocAnderson]

Before anyone dismisses Louise Lucas’s indictment as another “Donald Trump political prosecution,” read it.

This is a detailed, 45-page federal indictment bearing the names of career federal prosecutors Eric Hurt and Brian Samuels. It contains specific dates, financial transactions, text messages, and alleged conversations.

An indictment is NOT a finding of guilt. Lucas and the other defendants are presumed innocent, and prosecutors must prove their charges beyond a reasonable doubt. But this is a very serious charging document.

Among its allegations:

• $100,000 supplied by the FBI: Prosecutors allege Lucas accepted the money at her legislative office in Richmond as a partial repayment connected to a marijuana business investment. The indictment separately alleges that repayment was exchanged for her continued work to steer a license. Pages 26 and 34.

• Legislation and personal profit: Prosecutors allege she discussed pending marijuana legislation, a license for a co-conspirator, and sharing the proceeds, saying: “this is our last chance at generational wealth . . .. I’ve got too old to not be greedy.” Page 27.

• Licensing leverage: Prosecutors allege she told legislators they were trying to disqualify a prospective applicant until he repaid her money. Page 28.

• An alleged admission: The indictment attributes to Lucas a statement acknowledging that her earlier conduct was illegal, during a discussion about legislation making it legal. Pages 27–28.

• Large-scale marijuana trafficking: The indictment charges a conspiracy involving at least 100 kilograms of marijuana, along with racketeering, money laundering, and honest-services fraud.

Calling it political does not answer those allegations. They deserve scrutiny, and the defendants deserve a fair trial.

Nobody pays attention to the details.

[Tim Anderson @AssocAnderson]

Step 1 - get convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 1998

Step 2 - Die in 2024

Step 3 Governor completes review of the particulars of the case in August 2026.

Step 4 - reviewing the case does not include googling his name, checking govt death records or obituaries

Step 5 - Gov Restores civil rights in August 2026.

What a clown show.

[Mark Griffin @ClickonVirginia]

The Biden Administration was definitely not looking after the best interests of the nation.

[Mila Joy @Milajoy]

When the current FBI leadership took over, the lab had 1.8 MILLION unprocessed DNA samples.

As of August, that backlog is GONE. For the first time in history.

More answers for victims of murder and sexual assault.

This is what competence looks like.

@ChristopherHale If you Catholics follow that advice, they will get politicians who worship at the altar of abortion.

The Catholic in the pew knows this, and often has more sense than the hierarchy.

🚨 BREAKING: Democrat Gov. Abigail Spanberger's Virginia JUST RELEASED a CHILD PREDATOR illegal alien from custody — so ICE IMMEDIATELY arrested him

GOOD. Democrats are a danger to citizens by unleashing illegals!

"He faced three counts of aggravated s*xual battery including a child under 13, along with two counts of filming an undressed minor."

The ICE detainer was NOT HONORED and he was released without ICE being notified. Feds tracked him down

Thank you, patriots!

Everyone needs to look at how Spanberger's state is plummeting after she got elected. Ran as a "moderate," governors as an OPEN BORDERS LEFTIST

Don't let other Democrats do the same. Vote Republican, KEEP THEM OUT OF POWER

@RepSuhas Ummm..... The data centers represent 40% of the county's revenue. Are you suggesting pay more taxes too?

Our Governor , @GovernorVA , has already run through half of the @GlennYoungkin surplus. I think she is following Wes Moore's example. https://t.co/UCpwhOpgK3

[Mark Griffin @ClickonVirginia]

Another celebrity who doesn't know what she is talking about. @Oprah lost her brand as a fair arbiter of the facts a long time ago. Who else feels the same?

[End Wokeness @EndWokeness]

2 years ago, Oprah Winfrey predicted that if Trump wins, women may lose voting rights forever.

Any update, @Oprah?

[Mark Griffin @ClickonVirginia]

Congratulations Virginia! We are #3 in duplicate voter registrations. Our governor refuses to clean up the voter roles. Hey @vademocrats , are you in favor of good government or are you going to allow sloppy voter roles. @GovernorVA lazy.

[Shiloh Marx @Shilohmarx]

Blue states counted for 85% of duplicate registrations in 2024.
