Any idiot could make these documents in paint.
They're easily verifiable documents. If they had been faked by the journalists who reported them, they would have been mercilessly excoriated by the Omar defense squad
I've verified a few of the documents myself. I even linked you to some right on the .gov pages.
Again, this is like you're denying the moon landing.

You know how i know omar never married her brother and committed fraud?
Because the republicans despise her and they have all the power in the world right now to look into it, the reason they have not done so is because they know its bullshit.
You got trump trying to get half the world help him nail biden including my government but he is not going to snap up the opportunity to nail a liberal senator he hates?
If any of this bullshit had any truth to it his accusations would be made in a court room not on twitter.
They don't have all the power in the world to look into it. Most of it falls under state jurisdiction, and that would be up to the discretion of Keith Ellison, and she's Ellison's direct successor in the MN-5 seat.
The parts that fall under federal jurisdiction and could be proven in court are also things that have no recourse. We have proof she filed her taxes illegally, but so what? The IRS doesn't even investigate tax fraud if its below a certain value, because its cheaper than wasting resources trying to recover minor fraud. Any attempt by Trump officials to weaponize the FBI against her would instantly backfire as her political allies call it persecution. Have you turned on the news for the past month? Look what happened when Trump just politely asked Ukraine to look at Biden's crimes. You'd have to be playing zero-dimensional chess to not look ahead 1 move and see how badly it would go if Republicans tried to skewer Omar.
Besides, if they really
did want to abuse their offices to go after her, it would be poor timing to do it in 2018-2019. Her many scandals are an albatross that would be perfect to hang around the necks of the democrats in 2020. She has continued to be a perpetual thorn in the side of the DNC and every time she's up on TV, support for republicans gets a boost. Why would they
want to get rid of her? If they're going to kill the golden goose, they're going to do it when its most advantageous in about ~6 months.
And for that matter, local state republicans
have been forcing investigations into Omar. Rep. Steve Drazkowski already initiated an FEC complaint that found she committed 6+ violations, and is now pushing a formal request for initiating a house ethics investigation into her. The RNC and Trump don't control him, no puppet strings there, he's just been railing against her for the past couple years. But republicans don't control the house, and Nancy Pelosi isn't about to sanction Omar, for all the same reasons her toxicity is already benefiting the republicans. Its bad enough she's a thorn in the DNC's side, but trying to pull her out would backfire even harder for the dems and cause a progressive revolt.
anyway, all the evidence is laid out there in front of you. You asked for it, you got it.
