And the source is a random youtube video from a troll and the whitehouse.gov blogspam. Real smoking gun.

> Sure, right after Tim Waltz's trial for allowing billions of fraud
And the source is a random youtube video from a troll and the whitehouse.gov blogspam. Real smoking gun.
I mean a business registered to an address taking millions from government to provide child care. The address is boarded up, no children. All on video and public records for evidence.
What more do you want?
But that's not all, of course.
There were already successful prosecutions of fraudsters before the video made by the person you try so hard to discredit with 5-th grade tactic of throwing insults. What is ad hominem?
Lots more people were already arrested and lots of investigation have started as a result.
I lived in San Francisco, watching homeless problem becoming bigger and bigger. California spent billions supposedly fixing homelessness. Where did that money go?
California speed rail was supposed to be done in 2020 for $33 billion.
It's 2026. Newsom spent $15 billion and NOT A SINGLE TRACK is operational. Where did the money go? Who did the work and what were they doing for 18 years (it got approved in 2008). Fraud or gross incompetence? Either way, how is Newsom still in charge (and worse, running for President)?
I could go on but I'll wait for your "rebuttal" how convicting someone of fraud isn't really an indication that fraud happened or spending $15 billion achieving nothing is totally how non-fraudulent construction project work.
I'm not disputing there was fraud, I'm disputing your framing that nothing was being done about it, and Walz should be arrested.
I can't tell you about California. But when it comes to Minnesota, this was already a multi year investigation where Minnesota collaborated with the FBI. Nothing was "brought to light" by this video, the fraud was being investigated, and Trump was aware of it. Several names I've seen thrown around were people who are already convicted. You are acting like they were disinterested in investigating fraud entirely.
Nor did this happen in a vacuum. A lot of this came from emergency economic relief, like PPP funds. Both Trump and Biden weanened PPP oversight in favor of getting funds out quickly. When you do that, there is an understanding there will be some order of fraud.
The completely last minute decision of Trump to make a public spectacle of something he already knew about was just a power grab to justify the ICE surge, and an opportunity to demonize the people of the state. Anyone who hasn't drunk the Koolaid would understand that. That's why the white house site does not approach the fraud in a matter of fact way. It literally calls Walz "deranged."
And of course, that situation spawned the trolls, where people would make videos with a deluge of "facts", where one instance of legitimate fraud would be combined with a bunch of bullshit evidence to make it seem like the fraud is widespread and unstoppable without Trump's intervention. That's why they are throwing out completely random numbers for the scale of fraud.
Anyway, it's a legitimate issue with a lot of bipartisan factors that contributed to it, and could have been handled gracefully, but then it got turned into a political dick measuring contest in the name of retribution. Ironically Walz is still working with Trump on it.
Meanwhile Trump and his family is busy committing billions of fraud...
