Jeremy Christenson, a former Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agent, joined Liz Collin on her podcast and explained how cases of cash smuggling and fraudulent daycare centers were ignored by prosecutors. (snip) Christenson said many of the cases he investigated "went away into thin air." (snip) Christenson told Collin that "around 2015, a [daycare] case landed on my desk (snip.) They were setting up sham daycares, fake bills, fake students, just enrolling students who never came" (snip.) But what happened next has bothered Christenson ever since. He said the investigative task force "all of a sudden, it just evaporated -- just went away into thin air."

Comments:

According to a former Homeland Security investigator, the federal government (particularly the U.S. Attorney's Office in Minneapolis) has failed to act on evidence of fraud since 2015.

Minnesota Dems.....totally in bed with Somali fraudsters. "Here's the deal," I'm sure they said, " You can steal as much as you want, we'll cover it up, as long as you deliver the votes to us." Time to arrest everyone in the entire Minnesota government and put all of them in jail, it seems.

Let's review: 1. Video of massive fraud in daycare centers is released. 2. Most daycare centers are abandoned buildings with a single sign over the door. 3. Somali owner claims a break in stole all his records. 4. Somali owners threaten reporters trying to investigate. 5. Whistle blowers detail ongoing fraud that they were told to ignore at the risk of losing their jobs 6. Piles of cash being shipped out of state airports.

What IF "the U.S. Attorney's Office in Minneapolis" has failed to act on evidence of fraud since 2015, either because they are crazy-incompetent OR they knew what was going on AND gave their approval of it.

While thinking about all this fraud, recall all the times that Nancy Pelosi said that we had to "do it for the children." You can't convince me that the woman was not aware that all that money going to "the children (subsidized daycare, Headstart, income tax credits) was actually being ripped off in various schemes. In fact, I think the laws were written in such a manner that the intended fraud would be accommodated. Tax preparers and CPAs were constantly pointing out how child tax credits were being used by illegal immigrants to create huge tax refunds. The cartels and coyotes.probably helped with this, filing fraudulent returns to get money to send back to families in Mexico and Venezuela to pay their fees to the cartels. Cartels were making more money off trafficking than off drugs during the Biden administration. Where was the money coming from?? Don't people ever wonder that if you have ever had a hard time coming up with $5,000 for medical expense or funeral expenses for a relative, how is a poverty stricken Mexican or Chinese person coming up with that kind of money to repay fees to cartel traffickers?

There are soooo many people who will be able to point the finger at Tim Walz, or any number of politicians, who, when confronted with these facts, told subordinates to, "stand down," and essentially do nothing. That is tantamount to complicity in the crime and will lead to jail, trial, and incarceration. So many witnesses that an idiot could try this case and win... but we have the "Can-Kicking" duo of "Bondi and Patel" to ensure that no Democrat pol sees the inside of a Federal courtroom. I just wish someone of intellect and unassailable credentials would publish a graph of Minnesotan ANNUAL TAX BURDEN INCREASE vs. FRAUD (BILLIONS) so that everyone can be aware of what this has cost, and will continue to cost Minnesota's taxpayers. Only then will this sink deep into all but the most ardent liberals' brains to remind them of the long-term cost of liberalism.

Why do they need baby sitting when obviously none of them go to work. How many vans were purchased to haul ghosts to their medical appointments. Curious to know how much the driver makes in salary - to keep his mouth shut.

President Donald Trump is calling for a 10% cap on credit card interest rates for one year, an idea that has drawn strong support from lawmakers in both parties but pushback from card issuers.
