SEKULOW

Logan Sekulow: On today's show, Obama era Elon Omar investigation begins to haunt the Democrats.

Announcer: Keeping you informed and engaged now more than ever. This is Seculo. We want to hear from you. Share and post your comments or call 1-800-684-3110. And now your host, Logan Seculo.

Logan Sekulow: Welcome to Seculo October 30th. Here we are, of course, heading into what could be a very spooky weekend for a lot of people as we are just a few days away from the midterm elections and there is more happening in the world of Elon Omar and the investigation wide in scope. But in the same time, we've also learned that this is no new investigation. In fact, it was happening during the Obama administration. And what did they do? Nothing. We're going to get into that a lot more coming up. Jordan's in studio today. Will of course in studio.

So give us a call at 1-800-684-3110. 1-800-684-3110. We can break this down a little bit because of course we have been covering since really the raid of Elon Omar's home in Washington D.C. We have been covering this in detail and a lot of you have shown a lot of interest in what this could lead to. But we also know again that this has been something that has been an ongoing conversation for months and months, not months, years and years over the legitimacy of how whether she came into the country with her family. And I think you have to give her a little grace on that.

She's a small child or something like that of what it could be. But then, of course, what was the conspiracy theory of you like for the last decade

Will Addison: Well, you told it was a conspiracy.

Logan Sekulow: It's a total conspiracy theory, which was is she married or did was she married or tried to marry her brother, which again, when you put it into context, was not necessarily was she trying to marry her brother. It was more was she trying to get a family member into the United States of America in a fraudulent way by marriage. Now we have learned that those details have gone backward. At least we know that the Obama era FBI DOJ was investigating this even then. So going back nearly 20 years.

Will Addison: That's right. So when you look at this investigation, which the alleged fraud of this what they are calling and this is according to the New York Times saying whether it was a sham marriage in 2009 to help the husband in this alleged marriage get a green card. It was investigated by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security and it was U.S. Attorney was involved in this in Minnesota during the Obama administration in 2016. So 10 years ago, this was investigated by the Obama administration. And what did they find? According to the New York Times, this is not Fox News or or or just us coming up with this or some right-wing outlet.

It's the New York Times who's been actually doing journalism the last 72 hours. They say that that they actually found evidence that it was fraudulent in 2016. This is according to current and former officials. However, they decided the prosecutor decided to not charge a crime here because this felony, alleged felony fell outside of a 5-year statute of limitations, Jordan. So when you see President Obama saying that this is the Trump DOJ going after a political enemy, how dare he? It was his own Department of Justice that declined to prosecute even though according to sources, they found evidence of a crime.

Jordan Sekulow: What I'm reading here, what I'm reading closely is this actually started towards the end of President Obama's term in 2016. And so right outside what would have been a statute of limitations or maybe still inside the statute of limitations, it wasn't shut down until it was actually Joe Biden who shut it down in 2021. So you had it restarted by the or was kept going by the Trump administration. So you had but Barack Obama did not shut this investigation down. Donald Trump won the election, continued the investigation. It was ultimately shut down by again by Joe Biden's Department of Justice.

And now it's been reopened again. And again, this goes to an issue. Like you said, Logan, where we were told we were the conspiracy theorists. We were told we were the wrong. We were in the wrong. Don't talk about this. Don't talk about those issues. And in fact, now we know that we were actually probably right.

Logan Sekulow: All right, phone lines are open for you at 1-800-684-3110. That's 1-800-684-3110 to have your voice heard on the air today. We also have a special video presentation and a special guest joining us a little bit later. You're not going to miss that.

Logan Sekulow: Welcome back to Seculo. Phone lines are again open for you at 1-800-684-3110. A lot of you are just joining us right now so that we need to give kind of a just a re-update on what we're talking about here with the Elon Omar investigation as it continues to unfold. Again, just days away now from the midterm elections. Most of us have voted. Will and I I forced Will to go vote yesterday. I said, Will, you're coming with me.

Will Addison: Oh, come on now.

Logan Sekulow: We're going to vote.

Will Addison: Why are you trying to make it seem like it wasn't my idea?

Logan Sekulow: I know we're not allowed to talk about like probably are you allowed to talk about what happened at the polling place? I think that's okay, right?

Will Addison: Yeah, it's supposed to be political

Logan Sekulow: Will and I voted next to a man in full gold body paint head to toe.

Will Addison: But he was in a a nice polo shirt and khakis and he even had a name tag on.

Logan Sekulow: Like he worked at a a country club but was also a human robot downtown.

Will Addison: Right. Right. Coin and then the tip jar and they

Logan Sekulow: Yeah, and he you know, maybe maybe he glitched.

Will Addison: Right.

Logan Sekulow: Right.

Will Addison: voting machine

Jordan Sekulow: school to like like like Halloween thing at school.

Logan Sekulow: Maybe but I thought this guy decided to early vote at the end of early voting. He couldn't have done this any other day when he wasn't painted gold. Uh

Will Addison: Yeah, I decided to go yesterday too into my was at a high school that hasn't been open in 2 years. So that's not a creepy feeling at all. And uh it took an hour.

Logan Sekulow: Oh, this is Halloween. Yeah.

Will Addison: Which one thing I said, okay, there's a lot of people voting. The second thing was uh you're not supposed to be talking politics a lot of times it's lied uh at the but the line was so far out that that that didn't start until suddenly

Logan Sekulow: Yeah. It was 100 ft from the polling place. They could talk about politics.

Will Addison: It was a lot of of angry uh school school teachers. And they were angry primarily and guess what outside of the aisle and

Logan Sekulow: Yeah. Wonder who they're voting for.

Will Addison: and they shut down schools.

Logan Sekulow: We just were thinking about yeah, who who we were canceling out while we were waiting in line there. And we were

Will Addison: I walked in and I was like, where's like you know, once I I got there too close to like 5:05 right in time with like you know people are out the door. And at like 6:00 and this is the last day here in Tennessee. So it's done it was done at 7:00 I think if you got in line. When I walked out around 6:00, my people started coming in. And I started to realize, okay, this is now a shift that started.

Logan Sekulow: Right. Off work, yeah. Right. Yeah. Yeah, they had to get off work. They had to break for people.

Will Addison: Well, they had to get home and they're employed. Yeah.

Jordan Sekulow: Jordan is what you 're saying.

Logan Sekulow: They want the they want the gold people. Will and I had a guy in front of us with two both of his big toes were broken.

Will Addison: Big toes.

Logan Sekulow: We we kept trying to come up with with scenarios of how you break both of your big toes. None of the other toes.

Will Addison: In bright pink bandages. This is It's a wild time in America.

Logan Sekulow: It was it made us you have to rethink whether we've got this right, whether the whether whether the idea of voting

Will Addison: Your 250-year experiment has been a success or not is what you're saying.

Logan Sekulow: You know what? We made it that far but maybe we need to look at some things from now on. No, okay. Phone lines are open.

Will Addison: You see why on election day those candidates have people that like their staff goes to the polling place before to make sure that's a polling place one had the candidate be at.

Logan Sekulow: Yeah. Yeah. I understand. Hey, what how was your experience voting? Have you voted already? Are you planning on voting on election days? Has anything changed? What are you doing? I'd love to hear from you. 1-800

Will Addison: I think right now I think it's probably if it's like most places with early voting by the time early voting ends everywhere is different a little bit everywhere. Uh it's about 50% of the vote now is it. Sometimes more.

Logan Sekulow: Yeah. That's crazy. Uh so let us know what your your plans were or maybe you're still planning on to be that that same day you know election day voter. Let us know. 1-800-684-3110. Let's go back to the Omar investigation though because this ties back into not only the investigations of the last few weeks including the raid. Uh this goes back at this point a decade.

Will Addison: Well, and this is what's even more interesting when you add this to it is that NBC News reported last night that the investigation is no longer just focused on the legality of the marriage from 2009. So the New York Times yesterday reported that the Obama administration was actually the administration that launched the investigation into this marriage. And what also I think we can draw the distinction the investigation actually wasn't if it was her brother or not. That wasn't the the crime they were looking to uncover. It was whether or not they were using marriage as a reason to get a green card for an individual, which is illegal no matter if you're related to the person or not.

That's why they do extensive interviews with spouses. If you've married someone that isn't a U.S. citizen, U.S. immigration, naturalization, all of these Department of Homeland Security offices will hold these interviews to see if it is indeed a legitimate marriage. It's not just something that automatically is granted anymore because it is a system that is scammed a lot to get citizenship for people that aren't even going to remain married. They used it. Sometimes there's money involved. That's fraud. Those are crimes. And that's what the Obama administration was looking at. And they found there was evidence that yeah, it actually looked like this marriage was fraudulent.

But they declined to prosecute because they said it was outside a 5-year statute of limitations on that. Now remember when people are like, well, if it was an immigration crime, that individual did not get a green card that was the husband at the time. And it wasn't her immigration status that was being investigated at that time. So the crime where when you're like, how can you have a statute of limitations on immigration fraud, no one was able to get status through this alleged fraud. So that is why that statute of limitations was able to expire in a way.

But NBC News is saying the previous investigation that issued to the issue of the marriage has now moved into something much larger in scope and no longer focused on the legality of that marriage according to sources familiar with the investigation. So if if people thought maybe if you're President Obama and you saying this is just a political persecution, you're just going after your political enemies because they've never done that on the other side of the aisle, it appears that this is not something that was just done for the midterms as they wanted to claim. There's a real investigation going on.

It is growing. And I assume some of that is because of what they found when they got a judge to sign off on a search warrant and raided her home.

Jordan Sekulow: Right. And this is again, when you look at what President Obama has said about this, it doesn't match what his DOJ was doing about it, which was investigating it. So they were on Elon Omar and her brother and and this potential immigration crime right in 2016. But if you talked about it, President Obama still thinks you're a bad person today for considering whether or not that brother that brother was in fact her brother and not the husband. And the whole thing is is just I know it's not trying to be confusing. All you have to know is was she part of a fraud attempted fraud on the U.S.

government? And if so, how should that impact her immigration status to to the United States? So her status as well as her legal status as a member of Congress.

Logan Sekulow: Right. It's less to do with the salacious nature when you hear she married her brother. That's not really the what the point is. That's that's exactly what I said. That's true. That's happening all the time forever. We're talking about is was there crime committed here, not a salacious side of the crime. The crime of just

Jordan Sekulow: loves calling people criminals, war criminals, genocide. They need to go to the ICC. I mean, she if she committed the most basic of immigration crimes, which is claiming a family member is a different kind of family member,

Logan Sekulow: Yeah, to try to get them in.

Jordan Sekulow: then how about shut your mouth on trying to say that everybody's war criminals from Israel.

Will Addison: And also let's go back to what even President Obama said about this within just the last week or so. Uh he wrote a a novel on X. Like see how long is it. Put this up on the screen. Look how long that is to defend Elon Omar. And here's a a snippet from that. Think about that. The full weight of the federal government is being brought down on a law-abiding elected official because she has dared to criticize the president. And it's not the first time this has happened. Under President Trump, the Justice Department has repeatedly gone after those he considers his political enemies from the attorney general of New York to the former head of the FBI to the members of the Federal Reserve.

That is from former President Obama. Meanwhile, we are finding out that it was his FBI. It was his Department of Justice. He was his Department of Homeland Security are the ones who investigated her back in 2016 while she was running for office by the way. That is when she was first elected in November 2016 to the Minnesota State House. So they were fine investigating someone who was running for office the summer of the year that she was elected first to a political office. And what did they find? Evidence allegedly of a crime that they thought was just outside the statute of limitations.

Yes. So his Department of Justice found that Elon Omar likely committed a crime that they could not prosecute because of a statute of limitations. Now we 'll have to hear the other theories if they get to that point but a judge did issue uh the warrant to seize these materials as well as her her phone and other technology. So if they the judge issued that warrant, they had to deal with that issue. And so somehow this has whether there was a state statute of limitations or another attempt that restarted a clock because she's tried again to to utilize uh some kind of way to get this relative whoever whoever it is, whether brother, husband, whatever because we don't know uh but it seemed like it's brother as of right now.

And is that uh the judge granted the warrant. So it wasn't like one of these cases where the judge said, no, you can't go back and look at this. So from 2016 under President Obama from under President Trump's first term, it was then shut down by Joe Biden, not by Obama but by Joe Biden. And now it returns again. And I think that's why Democrats don't like talking about this right now so close to an election. She's very controversial to begin with. The fact is if if they know that she's a liar who's committed immigration fraud, it makes it even easier

Logan Sekulow: At least chips away at some of it.

Will Addison: chips away at her. She was really one of the leaders of this radical left Democrat socialist movement and it hurts that movement.

Logan Sekulow: Yeah. Hey, when that is why like Jordan said, we are only 4 days away from election day. And the ACLJ has launched our Protect the Vote campaign right now. We've taken legal action. We need your support. Every gift right now though is doubled right now at aclj.org/vote.

We got a couple lines still open for you at 1-800-684-3110 talking about election integrity. And we're going to get to a special video presentation. We're going to call audible here a little bit. Will I think we should take this call. Let's go to Lito who's calling or Leto.

Lito. Lito believe on line two in California. Go ahead.

Lito: Yeah. So listen, I've I've lost a lot of friends um who are Democrat especially after 2020 because I saw what the Democratic Party was about. Fraud, lies, confusion, trying to confuse their own constituents. So vote for somebody by by the same name in Alaska. And they knew it was a ploy and then lie about it. The lie after lie is what gets me. How do you guys explain

Logan Sekulow: Yeah.

Lito: to anyone who's a Democrat or anyone who's trying to figure out a Democrat why they still vote Democrat?

Logan Sekulow: Well, I mean, there are so many uh thank you for calling. There are so many of these schemes and political things that happen but when they get are this blatant and they're this upfront, it's like how do you defend it when you know the entire idea? It's the same look the same concept we have here and we're saying, hey, look at the changes people want to make in the way a proposal is or a you know something you're going to vote on, change the words just slightly to make it confusing. It's all about voter confusion.

Will Addison: Right. There's a lot of that. You see that with amendments all the time that they're going to the con state constitution in your state. But on this one, you have Alaska has uh uh this bizarre voting system which most states have not adopted but they have they have these jungle primaries. We have all these candidates. Then they have the the top four that can move on. And you can have top four could all be the some one party. Uh but here and what you had here is somehow three Republicans uh move forward and only one Democrat.

So what again when you look at this list because they got the other Democrat who moved forward, they don't talk about this one as much. In the fourth place, she drops out. The fifth place guy was a Republican. He moves up into fourth. So fourth place Republican, uh guy running for Republican, third place Republican, uh second place the Democrat candidate Patola, first place the the current U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan. And then you look and you see that the third place uh uh on this vote is a Republican supposedly with the same name as the Republican Senator and that the Patola campaign staff, at least her staff, people associated with her went out and found him in Alaska to get him to run.

Logan Sekulow: And right now the search is on to find him.

Will Addison: And now they can't find him. Right. Yeah, we've seen that the Department of Justice and the U.S. Attorney's Office in Alaska have issued more than 30 subpoenas in this case as well as even local reporters are going to uh the what they call him decoy Dan is is the uh the popular nickname for him now decoy Dan's house, which by the way is a fishing village that takes either seaplane or boat to get to. Like you can't just drive there. And local reporters for Alaska have tried to go to his house. He's not there. They can't find him.

His neighbors I saw an amazing local reporting. They talked to his neighbors. They're like, we've known him a long time. I can't imagine he would do that. I mean, right? Like even there like wait, maybe he did. So you're looking into this. We know that U.S. Attorney's looking into it because this even goes beyond the dirty tricks at this point into there could be campaign finance, there could be fraud, there could be things that could legitimately be criminal at this point.

Logan Sekulow: All right. I do want to get to our special video presentation our team put together. Do we need any setup for this?

Will Addison: No, this is actually showing how long we have been fighting even in recent years with victory for uh for your right to vote to protect free and fair elections and other dirty tricks that people have tried to pull before take a watch.

Logan Sekulow: Yeah, let's take a look.

Jay Sekulow: Voting for any office is important. This was the presidency of the United States of America.

Guest (Female): Citizens for responsibility and ethics in Washington, commonly known as Crew, has filed a lawsuit to bar former President Trump from appearing on presidential ballots in Colorado.

Jordan Sekulow: We've talked a lot about this 14th Amendment issue and the attempt to take candidates off the ballot even in the primary, taking the power away from state and local political parties.

Guest (Male): This is referring to Section 3 of the 14th Amendment which is from the post-Civil War era. It says in part I'm going to read it here for our viewers, no person shall hold any office civil or military who having previously taken an oath as an officer of the U.S. to support the Constitution of the United States shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.

Guest (Male): They say that this doesn't even require an act of Congress that any judge can simply announce that he was supporting an insurrection. And that he is therefore disqualified and voters will not get the choice of whether to vote for him or not.

Jay Sekulow: We were contacted by the chairman of the Colorado Republican Party. So the Colorado Secretary of State tells the Colorado Republican Party, you cannot have that candidate on your ballot. And the ballot belongs to the party.

Jordan Sekulow: We're honored right now to have our client the chairman of the Colorado State Republican Committee, Dave Williams.

Dave Williams: If you're a voter in Alabama, if you're a voter in Florida, if you're a voter anywhere, you you have to recognize the the significance of this. This is a constitutional crisis in the making. And I'm glad to be working with you guys. This this will affect you no matter what. It's happening in Colorado that the implications, the consequences are extremely high.

Guest (Female): I mean, this is a really big case. A handful of other states were watching the outcome here to know if they would be able to bar President Trump from being a candidate on their ballots as well. We appeal it to the U.S. Supreme Court. They take the case.

Guest (Female): The United States Supreme Court will hear oral arguments this week over whether former President Trump should be removed from Colorado's primary ballot, the first of what could be several legal challenges by Trump to confront the nine justices.

Guest (Male): It was a 9-0 decision. What did the justices decide?

Guest (Male): Well, the court has decided unanimously that the Colorado Supreme Court was wrong, that Donald Trump cannot be disqualified as a presidential candidate. So they've ruled for Trump unanimously in this case. That means that state efforts to disqualify him will end. And that if you're going to be Donald Trump, it's going to have to be at the ballot box.

Jordan Sekulow: The first Amendment actually protects political parties. This was also a massive victory for our client, the Colorado Republican Party. This was their ballot. This was their candidate for presidency in their state. They had the right to select who their candidates are.

Guest (Male): I think this is great for the country. Uh the fact that all nine justices, regardless of who appointed them came to the same conclusion, really speaks to how we as a society should not be interfering with the people's right to vote for the candidate of their choice.

Donald Trump: They worked long, they worked hard, and frankly, they worked very quickly on something that will be spoken about 100 years from now and 200 years from now. Extremely important. Essentially, you cannot take somebody out of a race because an opponent would like to have it that way.

Jordan Sekulow: The ACLJ representing as a party the Colorado Republican State Committee won nine to zero. The Trump campaign won nine to zero. You cannot have states using the 14th Amendment Section 3 to decide when they want to remove a candidate from the either the primary or the general election. The goal is to get to five. In this case, we got to nine.

Will Addison: This was a massive victory for us because it secured your right to vote, my right to vote. And even though again, I'm not a Colorado citizen, it it it it didn't matter because what happened there was going to happen in other states. This victory protects our right to vote.

Jordan Sekulow: The people should be deciding these elections, not justices or judges in a courtroom.

Jay Sekulow: The ACLJ will fight to protect the right to vote and the integrity of the election process wherever that battle needs to happen.

Logan Sekulow: All right. And again, the Protect the Vote double your impact right now today at aclj.org. Again, just showing you sort of the breadth and the scope of how long we've been at this. It's not nothing new for us to be doing election integrity just because all of a sudden it's a popular topic. It is something our team has been on for decades now. Of course, you just saw a brief look back at all of that. We got a second half hour coming up. I want you to be a part of it. If you're listening or if you're watching on YouTube, you're watching it on Rumble, you're watching it on aclj.org, don't go anywhere.

Nothing needs to change. You're listening on terrestrial radio. Some of your networks don't carry the full hour. They should but they don't. So with that, you should join us over on aclj.org. Again, that's on aclj.org. Again, we have a special guest coming up in the second half of the show where we take a lot of your calls. We got a few lines open today at 1-800-684-3110 but if you consider supporting the work of the ACLJ, it's a great time to do it with a special campaign headed in towards the midterm election vote just in a few days, 4 days away.
