Related: About this forumAn update on the crackpot GOPer who was going after Ilhan Omar:
Republican Danielle Stellas campaign to take down Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has hit a bit of a snag. There is currently a warrant out for her arrest after she failed to appear for a court hearing on Tuesday morning.
She was supposed to answer to charges that she had attempted to shoplift a few thousand dollars worth of stuff from an Edina Target. According to court documents, she told police she couldnt remember what had happened in the store due to her post-traumatic stress disorder....
Stella started making headlines earlier this summer by hinting at support for the Q-anon conspiracy group, writing nonstop missives against Omar, crashing an event at Seward Café (and posting her subsequent ejection on Instagram), and managing to weird out even diehard conservative podcasters Chuck Woolery and Mark Young.
Neither she nor her lawyer were immediately available to comment. Prosecutor Lori Schwartz declined to speak on the matter. Meanwhile, Stella's Twitter feed has been active all day with the usual President Donald Trump retweets and posts about ANTIFA, Omar, and other Democratic reps.

OP
i don't think Republicans need to respond to law enforcement investigations. They are too important.

Wellstone ruled
(34,661 posts)2. So the County Attorney must be out of town again.
Or is it the MPLS PD that wants to get more mileage out of this POS.

Wellstone ruled
(34,661 posts)4. Is the bench warrant out of Edina or Mpls.?
So if Edina,then their City attorney is MIA.
The Velveteen Ocelot
(120,841 posts)5. Depends on whether it was charged as a felony or a misdemeanor.
The city attorney generally handles misdemeanors; the county attorney handles most felonies.

(34,661 posts)7. Understand.
Been many years since we lived in the Cities. So aware of the Politics,nothing changes,only the next generation of the same power brokers.
OAITW r.2.0
(28,362 posts)6. A good fit with the Organized Crime Party.
Well, it would have been, if they could have kept this out of the public eye or, better, derail it entirely. She'd have been a reliable vote with this kompromat kept in a safe place.

She thinks she is above the law.
