3 Mr. ~~Ness~~ Shirley, everybody knows where the ~~booze~~ fraud is. The problem isn't finding it, the problem is who wants to cross ~~Capone~~ Walz and the DFL.

5 I have an idea: we put together a bureau at the federal level that investigates corruption. They can have local field offices to stay on top of things so corruption like this can never get out of control. Just spitballing.

8 If you're looking for the "tip of the iceberg", I'd think Minnesota is a good place to start.

9 Chris, I am notoriously sarcastic. My point is that the FBI will now declare that they are on this and start a bunch of activity in Minnesota even though they have known about this and done nothing about it for political reasons. Their goal will be to focus national attention on Minnesota although Columbus, z Ohio is also an epicenter of the same activity. Jon Husted and Jim Jordan are Ohio politicians currently trying to play up the Minnesota angle. That play won’t work. Neither will Patel’s.

10 ^9
the FBI began investigating the 'feeding out future' fraud in 2020; by 2022 people had been indicted

the State and Hennepin County had investigated and prosecuted day care and other fraud in 2014 or so (walz was elected in 2018)

11 I stand corrected. It seems like there is so much of it, they have flooded the zone.
