The political swamp is throwing up another stinking surprise while the left’s favorite politicians keep pretending everything is normal. This weekend reporters discovered that Rose Lake Capital, the venture firm run by Rep. Ilhan Omar’s husband Tim Mynett, quietly scrubbed the names and biographies of nine officers and advisers from its website just as federal prosecutors widened a sprawling Minnesota fraud probe.
That disappearance was no accident — it’s a predictable scramble when inconvenient ties start to surface. Public filings and reporting show the firm’s reported value leapt from virtually nothing in 2023 to millions the next year, while the company listed only a WeWork address in D.C., raising obvious questions about where the money came from and why the leadership suddenly vanished from view.
Meanwhile the criminal picture in Minnesota is ugly and well-documented: the Feeding Our Future scheme involved dozens of defendants who allegedly submitted fake meal counts and siphoned federal child nutrition funds, and at least one former Omar campaign associate has pleaded guilty for his role in the fraud. The Department of Justice has detailed guilty pleas and indictments tied to sham sites that claimed millions of meals that never existed.
So let’s be blunt: when a congresswoman who championed the MEALS Act and appeared at events tied to these operators has a husband whose firm sprouts millions and then erases leadership bios, even the most charitable person has to ask whether this is incompetence or corruption. Omar’s office returned a handful of campaign donations from convicted individuals, but returning a few bucks doesn’t explain the sudden pileup of assets or the timing of the website purge.
Patriotic Americans deserve answers, not excuses. Lawmakers and investigators should stop treating this like a rumor mill and launch a thorough audit of financial disclosures, campaign records, and any transactions tying Rose Lake Capital or Mynett’s other ventures to the Feeding Our Future mess. If there was no wrongdoing, transparency would end the speculation — but the opposite has happened, and that silence screams guilt to taxpayers footing the bill.
Congressional ethics committees, the Treasury, and federal prosecutors should follow the money with the same zeal shown when the powerful are from the right; Americans won’t accept a two-tier system of justice where blue elites dodge scrutiny while ordinary citizens pay the price. This isn’t about politics as usual — it’s about protecting our public funds and demanding accountability from anyone who benefits from their theft, no matter their party or connections to powerful former officials.
