The acting U.S. attorney for the District of Minnesota, Joe Thompson, told a local news channel that “his office has prosecuted half a billion dollars in government fraud over the past couple of years. Thompson also said that when current investigations are prosecuted and finished, the scope of fraud in Minnesota government programs could exceed $1 billion.”

Jim Geraghty was on this for months last year: Under Tim Walz, the Minnesota state government was robbed blind, especially of funds provided by the federal government. At best, that’s a damning indictment of Walz’s personal leadership; at worst, it says much more about the natural consequences of his ideological approach to government as a candy store for lefty interest groups and whomever they’d like to enrich.
