"Rep. Drazkowski is the state representative who filed the complaint against Ilhan Omar with the state campaign finance board. In the course of its investigation the board found that Omar had filed joint tax returns in 2014 and 2015 with a man to whom she was not married — while she was married to another man (who may be her brother).
"Those tax returns are two datapoints suggestive of the fraudulent nature of Omar’s 2009 marriage to Ahmed Elmi. They are datapoints that Omar can’t evade or talk her way around. Indeed, she won’t even try. It’s not her style.
"Instead, when asked about the tax returns by the Star Tribune, she declined to respond through spokesman Jeremy Slevin. In his nonresponse Slevin essentially accused the Star Tribune of “colluding” with Power Line in bigotry: “Whether by colluding with right-wing outlets to go after Muslim elected officials or hounding family members, legitimate media outlets have a responsibility not to fan the flames of hate.”
"This is an old act that should long since have worn thin. Like the dog that didn’t bark in the Sherlock Holmes story, however, it is a clue." . . .
