Now – over a year after the 2024 presidential election, when it doesn’t hurt that year’s Democrat ticket – most mainstream media are suddenly noticing the immense amount of $$$ fraud in Governor/Vice President nominee Tim Walz’s Minnesota…and that fact that almost all of the key players are from the state’s Somali population.
The question, of course, is what did walz, and Minnesota Attorney General keith ellison – know about this, when did they know it….and whether they benefitted from it.
“Manhattan Contrarian” Francis Menton has written an excellent commentary on the nature and extent of this fraud: Here is how he sees the walz/ellison part of things:
Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the Minnesota story has been the revelation of total abdication by the state’s Governor (Tim Walz) and Attorney General (Keith Ellison) of any role in catching or prosecuting the fraudsters. The frauds occurred in programs largely funded by the federal government, but administered by the State of Minnesota. The State is the one that actually paid the checks to the crooks. Yet all of the investigations and prosecutions have been done by the Minnesota U.S. Attorney’s office. It appears that Walz and Ellison could not have been less interested in prosecuting.
One might ask whether allowing fraud like this to fester is actually part of the business model of Walz and Ellison, and of the Democrat-Farmer-Labor Party (as the Democratic Party is known in Minnesota). Somalis are a key voting bloc for Minnesota’s DFL. Of the billion plus dollars of government money going to the fraudsters, might any of it have been diverted to fund DFL electoral activities? Although I haven’t seen specific reporting on this aspect, it is hard to imagine that none of it did.
If the propagandized segment (read that as most of) our mainstream media are truly interested in trying to start retrieving some of their credibility, it seems to me that serious exploration of how this massive fraud took place, why walz and ellison did nothing about it, and whether/how much they benefitted from the huge amount of money stolen from taxpayers, would be a good start.
Don’t bet on it happening any time soon.
