USAO Colin McDonald, assistant attorney general for the DOJ’s National Fraud Enforcement Division, announced the initial fraud indictments for the first set of fraudsters operating in Minneapolis, Minnesota. McDonald emphasized this is only the beginning of the arrests in Minnesota as the fraud is beyond a scale that can be appropriately explained.
Together with HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz, U.S Attorney McDonald announces the first 15 individuals indicted with initial investigated theft of $90 million. The DOJ anticipates hundreds more arrests. Secretary Kennedy notes the scale of fraud is approximately 10x more than initially evaluated.
“Let me be clear upfront about something: This is not the end of our work in Minnesota,” McDonald said. “This is the beginning of our work in Minnesota. The fraud here in Minnesota is shocking.” McDonald then pointed to Minnesota’s housing stabilization services program, which was designed to help homeless residents find and keep housing, as one of the starkest examples. The program was initially estimated in 2020 to cost about $2.5 million per year, but ballooned to more than $104 million by 2024, which McDonald attributed entirely to fraud.
What we are seeing in this storyline is the exact reason why Barack Obama and Eric Holder selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to be Kamala Harris’ running mate. Former AG Eric Holder was responsible for investigating all of the potential nominees to run with Harris, and all of the Minnesota fraud was well known.
Minneapolis was/is the operational epicenter of a Marxist network that sits underneath Barack Obama and extends from Chicago through Minneapolis to Madison Wisconsin. None of this corrupt activity is a surprise to anyone who has watched how the networks operate. Union leadership like SEIU are aligned with NGO’s a various Obama community groups and operate within these regions.
Minnesota – “The fraud is enormous,” Colin McDonald, assistant attorney general for the DOJ’s National Fraud Enforcement Division, was asked about former U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson’s estimate that fraud in Minnesota could total $9 billion across more than a dozen programs.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if that number is accurate or even small.
”But today, the collection of [15] cases reach 90 million in intended loss from the from the pockets of the taxpayer.”
McDonald stressed that prosecutors are focused first on individual defendants and specific cases, not a final statewide price tag.
“I don’t have the exact number, because what I do is I look at individual people committing individual crimes,” he continued. “And at the end of all of our work, we’ll tally it all up and we’ll tell you exactly how much was stolen from the American people.
“We’re focused on individual defendants.”
Federal officials said they are expanding the Midwest Health Care Fraud Strike Force into Minnesota and adding a new Medicaid fraud strike force with 15 prosecutors who can be deployed nationwide.
“This is not the end of the beginning,” McDonald concluded at Thursday’s news conference. “This is the beginning.” (source)
Sentenced to 41.5 years in MN Fraud scheme!
She’ll never serve the full sentence, Walz will pardon her on his way out.
Walz can’t pardon someone convicted on federal charges.
The next Democrat President will do it.
If MAGA continues voting like H***!, there won’t ever be a “next Democrat president.
That is certainly a very comforting and reassuring thought.
“Walz can’t pardon someone convicted on federal charges.”
Can the US Attorneys prosecuting this case ask for a reduced sentence? Let her turn State’s Evidence and help convict others. How about for every one of her fellow fraudsters she helps bring a conviction against she gets one year off her sentence. Any chance there’s at least 40 other fellow fraudsters out there? Let’s see if this jailbird can sing, and bring in the bigger birds.
She needs to name names. I like the idea of offering her a reduced sentence in exchange for bringing in a larger catch. After a few years in the slammer, give her probation and some community service. Maybe she’ll become a productive citizen and influence others not to follow in her footsteps.
Hard time for Aimee, no country club prisons for white collar crime/this level or magnitude of fraud.
Nope. That’s Lewisburg type time.
Bring a good toothbrush, cowgirl.
I hope there are a few really buffed up “transgender felons” in her soon-to-be resort.
It might just encourage her to name names.
No, they give you toothbrushes that lose their bristles in your mouth.
You do realize that FCI – Lewisburg is an all – male institution.
I see the “white girl” got BIG time. Let’s see how the rest of them fare.
She can do what Blago did…help her fellow inmates…
All of the thieving Demoncrat politicians that created the money laundering operations will not be arrested.
Yep… Yep, Walz, mayor Frey, Ellison, IIhan Omar, are all “home free’…
anyone who ever voted for a federal budget, voted to rape taxpayers and fund fraud.
Yes. but none of them voted for a budget. They voted for ‘Continuing Resolutions’ which are even worse for hiding and continuing fraud already baked into the system.
And they will probably get reelected. Kind of a badge of honor thing for them!
…. aaaaand
The US Senate is still blocking POTUS’ appointees to US Attorney.
Only 14 approved so far.
Out of 92.
Imagine how much corruption could be prosecuted if the **** senate would stop protecting the fraudsters.
US Senators are probably taking kickbacks from the fraudsters.
Probably?
Looks like he broke an ankle. Should be pretty east to find.
The video won’t play for me, but that left leg looks a tad bit swollen at the thigh level…maybe a fractured femur or tibia…4 stories is quite a landing…people die from falling from that height…
TGP, for those who cannot get the video to play…
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/05/doj-announces-indictments-against-15-minnesota-fraudsters-shocking/
Fractured femur can cause compartment syndrome, pulmonary fat embolism, shock due to severe blood loss.
Any one of those three will kill a person.
Oh, that would be a bummer.
Gov. Walz will be happy for taxpayers to fund months in a luxury hospital for the roof jumper.
The three ailments I mentioned, will be pricey to treat, and guess who is gonna pay–you and me? The feds cuz it was their property, maybe? Or, ironically…
Medicaid?
No… that’s a bit higher on the human frame. lol
Once the clot hits the lungs or heart, it’s DOA time. Tax Payer savings?
Nope…surely you jest???
Nope…not yet…
After a VQ scan, MRI, CT of the chest, with and without contrast of course, multiple invasive line insertions, lab work and chest X-Ray…ICU, intubation, Trauma, Surgery, Orthopedic, Hematology, Pulmonary, Renal, Neurology and Neurosurgical, plus Dietary, Social Work, Pharmacy, Physical Therapy and Occupational therapy consults, ventilator and Respiratory Therapists, multiple resuscitations due to PEA….lots of expensive pressors and antibiotics…more lab work…
Then…pronounced…add calls to the ME and organ donation organization…
Caching.
Not to mention the patients who are ignored because the whole ER is responding to this one patient and all the other patients have to wait.
Sounds like an ER waiting room full of illegals.
Too many other bones to break in the chain 1st that would dump energy…..unless he landed on the femur…..IMHO
But silver lining for him…..He IS REALLY EXPERIENCED at filing claims……..
you sir win the internet today
Ain’t that the truth…!
I was present when a neighbor broke his femur in an accident and he could just barely stay conscious the pain was so bad. I worked very hard to keep him from passing out..
I cannot imagine walking off as he did with a busted femur..
Did your neighbor recover?
You are so right…I was just looking at the mild swelling…and thinking the worst…
However,
About 4 years ago, ol’ JB Pritzker of IL fame, I believe, had a hairline femur fracture so ambulation is possible in some cases…
He did- thanks to a pile of plates and over 100 screws. His leg was busted right through, tree fell on him.
It takes a good amount of force to fracture a femur, the strongest bone in the human body.
A couple hungry tracking dogs should find him quickly.
Hunter killer DRONES……
The FIBS know where he is ‘hiding’.
Let’s hope it’s nothing trivial !
We’re lucky he’s got this leg injury, it’s this that will identify him, there are about a gazillion men men named Mohammad Omar !!
Every ER in the country will be on the lookout for him but I bet NO ONE will turn him in…
Hospitals don’t do that in most sanctuary cities/states…
On the run?
I don’t think so.
More like on the crawl.
It is the night
My body’s weak
I’m on the run
No time to sleep
I’ve got to ride
Ride like the wind

Is that Congressperson Omar’s brother / lover / other?
Clowned and Piven strategy of the Dem’s!
Flood the state/s with fraud abuse that’s been hidden and profits syphoned off for years. Too many cases and the investigations, judicial hearings, defense delays, cost to We The People and the damage done is 10x greater than what we could see coming.
JD Vance has roughly 2 years to make a dent in this. 24/7 may not be enough. Maybe just maybe, AI and DOGE combined can show the country how it’s done. Now if only we could get a judiciary that’s ready for what’s coming….. California…Spit

Taxpayers should have the right to sue Congress for all the losses and debt incurred from this massive fraud. They are supposed to be the stewards of our money and not one of them gives a sh*t. 31 trillion in debt that the next generation has to pay off. They should all be in prison.
These ‘programs’ were all designed to make false claims (stealing) easy. That’s on Congress.
That is on the voters who keep re-electing them (D).
The Dems may be the biggest benefactors, but they are ALL in on it. The uniparty is real.
Sorry, not just the dems. We have a few real prizes in the GOP as well.
Yeah, and we’re working like hell to get rid of them ASAP!
Yes, THIS.
And here is the thing: they do this with everything they do- from running the schools to infrastructure projects.
Everything is all a heist.
This is why costs spiral out of control and it goes on and on so they can keep the grift alive as long as possible.
I witnessed the Big Dig in Boston, believe me, this is what they do with everything.. the palm greasing is epic.
First, remove federal taxes from Social Security benefits.
How about removing federal taxes for ALL retirement accounts that require people to contribute during their working life.
Taxpayers suing Congress? That should read “taxpayers suing taxpayers.”
Congress doesn’t have any money that doesn’t come from the taxpayers.
But Congresspeople have $…and likely a significant portion is ill-gotten. How about dereliction of duty claims? Plenty of them are anything but innocent.
I bet a massive class action lawsuit would get their attention!
Or lobbiest, bribes, campaign contributions, insider trading ,…
There is no such thing as “government money” or “Federal funds”.
“Oversight Committees”
A stage for members to prance about on, huffing and puffing, pretending for the “folks back home” that they give a tinker’s damn while whoever knows how much in backhanders is finding its way into their bank accounts.
Forensic auditing of all 535 Senate and House elected officials please…
(Can everybody see the billowing smoke coming out of my ears?)
AMEN!
Need a third line: And it all begins with Congress.
All dirt roads lead back to congress. The only thing they can do is spend and enjoy.
Yes. What ever amount was stolen, let’s say 90 million, much of it was used to buy homes, cars, travel and more. Even if they recover these things they will never be able to sell them for what was paid. The government will be lucky to recover 50% of the value of anything purchased. It’s auctions, buyers know sellers have to sell.
The loss is there for anyone wanting to file lawsuit.
There are reports of Somalis fleeing to Somali with suitcases stuffed with hundreds of thousands even millions of dollars. Denaturalize and deport the lot of them. This one or two here and one or two there approach is not fixing the problem.
With all of the previous fraud uncovered by DOGE those cretins still would not cut 1 single penny in spending & they did everything possible to drive Elon & the team out.
They still won’t cut 1 penny, even now.
$39 trillion.
They should not be absolved of personal responsibility. They should have to forfeit any and all congressional retirement, property, including what is in the wife, dog’s and kids name. Assets in US LLC, Panama, Paradise LLC Offshoring.
I would like to the see the beginning minuets that gavel in each congress and see if they address certain aspects of the job at the start of each year. There may be a big old left open, if running congress like they have the country. lol
“Taxpayers should have the right to sue Congress …”
And in the unlikely event they were allowed to do that,
and in the even more unlikely event they prevailed…
Who do you think would be paying the damages?
Certainly not the congress people.
Well after all, they do work for us!
Over at TGP, the comments are well…you can guess.
Maybe TheSwamp can be diluted if not completely drained, after all!
Can you dilute a toilet bowl full of turds that won’t go down the drain?
Nope. An aggressive plunger or snake that churns and tears turds apart is the only way.
Sorry for that image.
A spoonful of sewage in a glass of champagne results in a glass of sewage.
Why? It’s accurate!
Diluted yes, drained, NO… ‘Cause the big wig politicians that run the swamp won’t be charged or arrested… Going after the little people will only dilute the swamp…
I am almost at tears. I have worked and clawed my whole life to create wealth for myself and family. I have made many sacrifices along the way with the Gov’t there at every step with one hand out and the other holding a scathe for any unintentional attempt to shortchange them. I have paid tax accountants untold thousands to make sure its all buttoned up.
And my taxes are flittered away like dust in the wind to these f8king criminals. I want accountability for those who so carelessly/intentionally shovel it out the door to their aligned communities.
Same here. What they stole in a few months, took me decades to save just so I would NOT be not be a burden on society.
They came, they kicked us in the teeth, and they laugh about now how stupid we were to give them all this free stuff.
Whenever a lefty tries to defend immigration from 3rd world shitholes, this MN fraud ought to be the premiere evidence that ALL cultures are not equal, nor good.
Democrats have no idea how pissed off we are.
Neither do Republicans!
When asked why I had quit a “good gvt job” at WPAFB I told this story.
Divide your money in to piles.
That which gvt lets you keep and that what they take from you at the point of a gun.
Go outside on a windy day and throw the gvt pile into the air and watch it blow away.
This is how the gvt treats your money.
I couldn’t watch any longer….
You, dear friend are a man of honour.
Aw shucks. Please don’t tell anyone.
Since you asked me not to, I’m telling everyone 😎
I didn’t know you were a Daytonian. Actually we’re pretty heavily
represented here, proportionally.
🙂
When I moved to St Croix, USVI I was stunned at the percentage of Buckeyes living there. If you were born and raised in Ohio the Caribbean sun was like crack!
I’ve got an eye on STJ if the tax master allows enough capital for this tax slave to buy freedom.
I wish you well!
(can I come visit?)
3,300 investigations later do they finally get to Governor Waltz?
Kinda crossin’ my fingers
Slow and steady wins the race.
He can use taxpayer money to defends himself. Get the low-hanging fruit first.
Wait until he retires and then nail him.
Once he’s no longer in office, he can’t use taxpayer funds. Since he’s not running for re-election this year, investigators need to run out the clock and arrest the sleeze/turd the first day he’s no longer governor. (I’m not sure when the new governor will be sworn in after the election.)
I thought he was the Low hanging Fruit 😕…🙃
At this point in time, “slow and steady” is just another stalling technique…
No, but they might just nab Omar.
Sorry Jane… it will never happen…
Walz is a buffoon but he ll skate because all he did was turn a blind eye to it for votes.
There are emails captured. There are phone calls captured. Everyone knows it. Especially the fraudsters themselves.
First thing, revoke the Passports for the big people….
Let them start to sweat (as if they aren’t sweating already)
Take away their SS protections.
Let the chips fall where they may….
Having a hard time believing these people with the IQ of a grape orchestrated this massive grift
If I was looking at 20+ years but could be reduced to 2 for fingering some big guys in on the fraud, I’d bark like a Sheltie and point like….a Pointer.
Mike WALTZ is our ambassador to the UN. A good guy.
The governor of Minnesota is Tim WALZ.
A bad guy.
I know, sorry I was overruled by auto-incorrect and didn’t notice fast enough.
So why did they pick Walz – because they wanted him outed/exposed ? Or because it was leverage to control/exploit him ?
They were looking forward for more of his fund raising results.
It was a reward for funds received.
They picked Tampon Tim because he was a corrupt money man for the American Left.
If he was VP they could cover up all of his crimes with the full protection of the entire Federal Government.
Additionally, he could run his illegal money making operation from within the Federal Government.
Sounds like why Biden was VP
Exactly
That and because no reasonable person would impeach Obama with an idiot like Biden in to offing. THEN ….
Bullseye! At least Biden had Congressional experience and connections…but basically the same characteristics as Walz. One of the major factors in Biden’s downfall was his blind spot in regard to his family..
Bingo!! Read my post above.
Oh, it’s not only for that reason.
I mean, BIDEN DID deliver Delaware’s 3 electoral votes.
Do the Math, man.
You forgot to mention he is basically stupid and easily manipulated…a mere puppet in their control.
Because the most credible alternative to Walz, i.e., Shapiro, was of the wrong religious persuasion. And because whenever Shapiro takes an oath of office, he starts planning his move to a higher office. Kamala couldn’t have such an ambitious subordinate.
Joshie is not presidential material, believe you me.
You have to start with the fact that they didn’t really believe she would win. Remember, Obama was furious at the retaliation by Joe with his immediate endorsement of her, because they wanted either a short primary or to directly anoint a better (more likely to win) candidate.
Because he’s a buffoon and only he would be stupid enough to be on a ticket with Kammie.
For the exact same reason that they picked Biden for Obama. They implicitly knew that
Biden was damaged goods. But only the “right people”. knew about it, and how damaged he
was.
Biden had decades to become a complete capo, a goon, a big fish in a small pond. With
his sons and the rest of the family in on the deal. It proved useful in many ways: the
off the books income stream that Biden could provide if needed. He was also useful in
that the “right people” had him dead to rights. Had a complete dossier on everything
he had ever done, ready to be sprung if he happened to step out of line.
Why I know this? Watching Atlanta politics. Crooked politicians ALWAYS have
head hunters go out and find questionable appointees from areas where the politics
are stupifyingly corrupt. The appointees are then grossly overpaid. They know the
boss has the files on them. Their only purpose is to look the other way when the
boss does something particularly illegal.
Addendum for the Georgia voters. For those thinking of Vernon Jones as AG,
read the last paragraph about watching Atlanta politics. His actions kinda sorta
fit into that mindset.
Because he was funneling the profits back into the party, that’s the real story. I am confident it will become obvious with future prosecutions.
The DOJ in a Harris/Walz Admin would have “bleached any and all evidence”
Noow because Trump won, they are up a tree. They don;t control the FEDERAL DOJ, so they can’t destroy much of the evidence, even though BIDEN/OBAMA/GARLAND/HOLDER holdovers in the DOJ are surreptitiously destroying what they can.
If we had an honest MEDIA, there would be dozens of HONEST PULITZER prizes for “penetrating” journalism into this BILLION$ fraud.
Ohio, Illinois, California, Maryland, NY, MASS, AZ and more are soon to be hit.
In some quarters it would be labeled a “target rich” environment.
No mention of restitution.
How about asset seizure? Everyone who gets caught stealing taxpayer money MUST be required to pay back EVERY penny. Otherwise, there in no disincentive. I don’t care if it requires them to have to work the rest of their lives to pay back the money. It must be recovered.
That money is likely gone over seas.
it was shown during the Iraqi war there are ways of tracking and tagging the money
Just end the programs.
BTW, Trump won 37-0 so far on MAGA primary endorsements!
Oz is great, but ummm, it was Nick Shirley that got this out into public and out a burr in your saddle.
Someone in the government is “handling” Nick Shirley. No possible way this kid gets the “ins” that he does without being set up for it.
Recall that older guy, that Nick was reporting with, has been investigating the Minnesota fraud for years.
Agree, he’s not a natural construct. But I’m glad he can draw attention to the issue.
So are you saying Nick is compromised since you use “handling”?
Exactly. Remember the meeting independent journalists had with Trump prior to the Nick Shirley expose.
Andy Ngo, Katie Daviscourt, Brandi Kruse and a slew of others.
Don’t forget an “independent investigator/journalist” has a lot more freedom than a government official. I suspect Shirley has a few insider helpers.
But also Powerline blog from Minnesota put spotlight on high beam several years ago…
They sure have. They also have reported on Rep Omar (or whatever her real last name is).
“Book’em, Dano,…. Book every damn one of’em,…. including the Purple lipped, big eared Kenyan Wonder and his gerrymander mgr Wing Man!”
Deportations?
Indeed,… but only after all those convicted of this Fraud have had all of their total assets forfeited as repayment of their fines,…. then give’em the boot!
The Kenyan Witch doctor.
Also home to the FBI’s #1 laundering state. The owner of the Minnesota Twins has been using the FBI in Duluth to launder $ for over a decade. The camel jockeys are running around in short pants compared to the heavy hitters. Have a nice day Barry,
Kinda hoping we’d get to see these thugs. Media cut and scrambled the Alpha News coverage.
I’m sure they didn’t want to be labeled a racist if they showed all 15 were Somalian pirates.
I have been trying to find mugshots or even just names and nationality but can’t seem to find that data.
This is my shocked face. 😟
2026 Minnesota Medicaid and Benefits Fraud Takedown
https://www.justice.gov/criminal/criminal-fraud/health-care-fraud-unit/2026-minnesota-hcf-case-summaries
Well, Bock just got 41.5 years and she’s white.
Ugly as sin but still not Somalian.
Somalian by injection?
Albino Somalian
That’s the ONLY reason you saw Bock’s mug. It’s because she’s not black.
She fits the narrative of “white people bad”, anyone of color (Person of color) is protected by the media because they would want to be labeled a racist.
Minnesota changing their slogan…
‘The Land of 10,000 Frauds’ 🙂
That number sounds low.
Let’s be clear. 15 Minnesota democrats.

BREAKING NEWS: THE SENATE will go home until June, leaving the reconciliation bill unfinished.
THUNE just told senators in the room.
All because of the DOJ weaponization fund. [and causing his friends to lose]
House is expected to follow suit soon.
Time for the Memorial Day break, anyway.
90 million ?
We know 10s of billions we stolen fraudulently by many including politicians
How does the son of the Nation of Islam member Keith Ellison afford his son a 6 figure job when he doesn’t even live in Minnesota ?
ALL of them
This has been going on for decades. But the scale has increased dramatically. And its everywhere.
Ok I ll say it…..when you import tens of thousands of people from a dysfunctional, socially disintergrating sewer like Somalia you import the attitudes that created that sewer. Not everyone but enough for this level of criminality.
You would think being given this kind of chance peoole would hunker down, work hard and make a go of it…..but if criminality is ingrained in the culture it will fester no matter where they go.
It’s vitally important that you import ( or house) people as dissimilar to their
neighbors as possible. Then, when they ruin everything that the prior residents
moved there for, the prior residents can be the ones that are blamed.
It’s been going on for 60+ years now. Pandemic white flight? How many areas
were due to the smoke screen of “desegregation suits and bussing” when it was
actually government financed and subsidized housing being squeezed in wholesale
in many of these areas.
It’s important that the new residents have NOTHING in common with the ones
that they replace. That way it deflects away from the original intent of the ones
behind it. Which was to make the areas unlivable enough that voting opposition
moved. South Dekalb county used to be a Republican stronghold in the 70s,
if that gives you a clue. White Plains, New York was wayyyyyy different back then
also. Prince George’s County, MD.
What do you do when you want to occupy hostile territory? Build forts on it and make them all but unassailable.
Control the “forts” i.e. the cities where most of the ballots are counted in various States and you essentially command vast areas adjacent to them.
Which reminds me of why the SCOTUS ruling on voter districts was so devastating to these tyrants.
So this is federal tax money stolen, right? I know its simplistic but in the federal budget, does each state have set amounts to spend even when addition $ is granted?
Now, if Oz and the munchkins will truly get after the Medicare fraud, and I am not talking about ‘hospice’ care or fraud for billed procedures not done….
I am talking about denial of access with an insurance provider that is being paid for by the insured, then we talk about denial of care…ad infinitum…
This was always going to be the end result of Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society programs. Private charities will inevitably demand the biggest bang for their bucks because of the limited resources. Big Government will always demand the biggest bucks for the bang because of unlimited resources, attracting every huckster in the country. You will not be able to stop the looting unless you go back to private charities.
Your description of how private charities works only applies to those charities that depend on private donations – too many so-call private charities are actually, at least partially, NGOs in hiding.
And it was planned to break up the nuclear family, starting with the black family, which was strong coming through the Civil War. LBJ cooked it though! SPIT!!!
I’ve copied the phrase “the fraud is beyond a scale that can be appropriately explained” as I’m thinking I’ll be using it again and again and again and….
NOW DO CALIFORNIA!!!!!
Newsom s October surprise?
Not yet, their not done in Minnesota until all of Tim Walz’s Administration are arrested too.
Don’t mean to slow you down EM2 but, Minnesota’s been waiting a looooonnnnggg time for this. Let’s not leave any stone unturned before we move to the next Blue state.
Can we only do one state at a time?
The sheer scale of fraud in Medicaid being reported recently, not just in Minnesota but many other states as well, is unbelievable. In so many of the states there doesn’t appear to have been the slightest effort to check the validity of claims being filed or of services allegedly being performed by companies formed to tap into the program. The states are supposed to be running these programs and checking that disbursements are legitimate. These states should be required to reimburse the federal government for the full amount of losses due to fraud. If some can be recovered from those who did the fraud, then fine, reduce the amount owed by the states by those amounts. But if nothing else, the states who let this happen should be on tap to pay it all back, and those state employees and officials who let it happen should be prosecuted along with the fraudsters.
Future Medicaid appropriations should also be reduced by the amounts of fraud being uncovered, since obviously the states never needed those monies in the first place. But I have not heard of anyone in Congress wanting to rein in the fraud by putting any requirements on the states. Everyone just pays out no matter what and no one but the taxpayers seem to care. Medicaid appropriations seriously need to be cut, and cut by large percentages, because of all this.
Minnesota = FUBAR
It has become a cold California.
Who are these criminals working for ? They have a protector.
The democrat party.
DOJ website has the details of the various fraudulent schemes charged, and the names of the people indicted.

Amateurs!
(See Kalifornia.)
Had a late, former friend who retired from state government. He was up the ladder in power. He had a really bad attitude toward business owners, always taking the position they were rip off artists and he was not going to let them get over on him.
I knew down stream government workers would bend the rules for favors. One high ranking civil service guy instructed people to go see his wife and buy her very overpriced jewelry to hide his favored schemes. It took many years before he was outed.
Such stories are endless (inside and outside of government) where one is driven by greed and/or envy since time began! To watch the elected somali liar with all those different hair covers spew her filth goes way beyond what I and millions of others can tolerate. Then there are Waltz and Ellison, what a pair of Minnesota slimeballs–fast talking snakes, elected by a majority of stupid voters!
The real question is this game going to prosecute just the low hanging fruit or go for the roots of this stealing of American tax dollars? Will the judicial branch of our government coddle them, protect them or give them fairly dust sentences when found guilty?
Who do you trust–if anyone? It has come to that, sadly. Cynical thoughts arrive for reasons!
Were Walz and Ellison truly ‘elected?’
I doubt it.
That’s an insult to snakes and other reptiles!
Federal Government employees are largely Democrats who are incompetent at performing their jobs. 100% NEGLIGENCE.
These programs are typically administered by by state employees.
Yep. Try calling one of these state agencies. You will have a difficult time trying to speak with someone who isn’t a DEI hire. Sorry…not sorry.
Plenty of which are Democrats themselves.
Case in point are the Maine Democrats in the State government stonewalling the DoJ and generally being uncooperative with the fraud investigations into MaineCare tangential to known Medicare fraud patterns found elsewhere as in Minnesota.
None of this surprises me. I commute through the NW side of the city of Milwaukee.
Every other street corner has had signs advertising for people to get paid for caring for their old or infirm relatives. For many years.
Nobody paid me to care for my parents except what my employer paid via FMLA. They weren’t required to pay me squat but they did & I never took advantage of them, I only used it for transporting my parents to & from Dr appointments. The rest of the time was on me. My parents cared for me when I was unable to care for myself. I returned the love.
I hope everyone involved in these scams meets justice for what they’ve done.
You are so right . We had my Mom in a wheelchair for 7 years and it was a rewarding time. They wanted to put her on a feeding tube and I said no I will take her home and feed her.
Later she was sitting up and eating greens and cornbread, sometimes fish.
Wouldn’t take anything for that time with her.
“We have tracked the thirty-five Congressmen in this illegal criminal network for nine years as well. Some investigations end in Minnesota, where we called out Keith Ellison and Somali aid programs there, funding a weapons caching program at a Muslim mosque through Ellison’s Muslim Brotherhood connections.”

15? I think they are missing four 0’s.
….. and the crackdown explains why the DNC has no money. That billion that Kamala spent was stolen from the American taxpayers.
USAID – President Trump SHUT DOWN the money laundering pipeline.
One of the more obvious ones certainly and we should not forget that it was run by the CIA for domestic ops among other things.
I watched the whole news conference this morning, and it was so very informative. If you missed it, several sources have the full conference on YouTube.
Awful disrupting the DemonRats donor base.
Federal charges and prosecutions might actually come to mean something. And the possible recovery of some of the money sent to foreign entities.
Ellison won’t even pass out a slap on the wrist to his ‘peeps.’
When this becomes known to average Democrat voters the Democrat politicians may lose one voter. Oh well they will just wait out Trump.
They’ll have to wait out Vance and Rubio, too.
This isn’t going away in 28.
From your keyboard to God’s monitor!
This is far beyond ‘Fraud’, to call this fraud is minimizing what has gone on here.
Tim Walz and the whole network, support system, everything around him should be arrested and put in prison.
This includes Barry, Eric Holder, Kamala, Keith Ellison, ALL of them. This alone should be the ending of their crime wave.
And don’t forget, this is all just one situation this gang is involved with- there is a list !!
“Community Organizing”,… to commit criminal fraud.
This is it right here, seriously.
I am wondering why we are calling this Fraud- this is far beyond Fraud.
You talk about “Intent” (recall what James Comey said), these peoples intent was to flat out rob this entire state to the degree of collapse so that they can rule over the ashes. This is what was going on here and it’s not any secret to those that know what the Cloward Piven plan is and what their whole long game is- this is not fraud, it’s destroying this country one blue state at a time.
That is not fraud, it’s an act of war.
Is there some connection to the assassination of the MN state rep (?),who voted against one of Walz’s schemes… was there a hiccup in the fleecing that caused the political (cpusa) violence (warning)… all is not right in MN? What ever happened to that fixer hired by Walz? Are charges/ trial yet pending? Is there something in the snow that falls or is it generational training and lost love of liberty and justice? Things are not well uo north.
Are fraud and embezzlement the same thing?
Does this meet the criteria of embezzlement? Or is it ‘just’ fraud?
Which carries higher consequences at the federal level?
And do the other side of the aisle!!!
get ready for the big collective ‘so what’ from the democrat perverts.
Wait till they get to NY especially NYC!! Their hair will turn white!! 💁🏻♀️
“McDonald emphasized this is only the beginning of the arrests in Minnesota…”
Until elected officials are indicted–including Omar and that ridiculous governor–very little is being accomplished, UNLESS these indictments lead to plea bargains which gets the elected officials indicted.
But how long must America wait for Justice while Statutes of Limitations run?
Now connect the dots to USAID and their company sponsor.
Now go after the politicians who facilitate and benefit from the fraud.
This is a planned and deliberate effort to bankrupt and destroy the country.
The Cloward-Piven strategy, in effect.
Socialism is poison in so many ways.
Agree. These funds were all approved by bureaucrats. People monitor and budget spending year to year. All funding amounts are scrutinized and approved. These fraudulent payouts grew hugely year to year. Bureaucrats, mangers and politicians MUST be held accountable.
Looks like Team Trump are going to be advancing to the Mid-terms under a rolling barrage of fraud revelations, both financial and electoral, as the MSM and DS stay-behinds desperately try to save the Democratic Party from itself and the rain of shells packed with sunlight.
And not a single one of them is a politician
Obama always says they want to redistribute wealth. This is how they do it. Sad to think we run budget deficits to fund this fraud.
Congress turbocharging the fraud by forgoing normally budgetary processes since 2008 was not a coincidence.
Yes. The Continuing Resolutions where the fraud and spending continues and nothing is resolved.
