I'm not downplaying it I have ZERO experience in the field. What I can tell you is not A SINGLE PERSON has been arrested from the video. Why is that? Is the local LE now part of the liberal club to defraud America?

Defrauding the US government is a federal crime. Trump's own DOJ could file charges anytime.

However, anyone honest knows it's not about fraud. It's about using the perception of possible fraud to torment and terrorize democrats in swing states and use their responses as an excuse to rig the mid terms by force if necessary.

Shirley took a video camera to a bunch of random store fronts and screamed "FRAUD" when they were closed, zero resources behind it. Good lord man. At least O'keefe puts effort in. Comparing those two is insane work dude.

He did way more than that. They had the government records of how much each site took in a year and how many children it claimed to support.

Surely then, federal charges are coming, right?

Since the State AG, Keith Ellison is involved, it will have to be Federal Charges. Why do you ask?

You're talking about federal crimes, it would always have to be federal charges.

When can we expect them to be filled?

Are you ignorant enough to think Federal Charges on something like this happen in less than 3-6 months?

Are you ignorant enough to believe this is a new story or issue? This is a rehash of already known and existing fraud cases in the state, some of which were already prosecuted as recently as 2024, but also during Biden's term as well.

And to your direct question, these losers started rehashing the Minnesota fraud stuff in July last year, lmao.

So again, the charges are coming any day now, surely, right?

You would never see it coming...

Jeff Bezos neuters the newspaper catering to Trump. Readers who cares about journalism drop their support and trumptards never read anything more complex than Fox News anyway.

The readership crashed long before Bezos "spiked" the endorsement of Harris, or any of the other changes. Those changes were made because the newspaper was failing, not the other way around.

Turns out that pinning your newspaper's identity to hate-porn obsessing over a single political personality isn't a sustainable business model. Who'd have thunk it?

Surely then the places with obvious fraud going on will be charged any day now, surely.

They literally just started investigating them.

"Why are they charged then!" only a few weeks after discovery is not a legit argument.

Yea because the fraud was just discovered and it takes more than a few weeks to gather evidence.

What a dumb ass argument. "No one is arrested YET! So no one is guilty!"

Key word YET.

No they didn't just start investigating them. They've been crying about Minnesota fraud since last summer. It's nothing new, it wasn't even a fresh idea last year.

We're talking about these specific businesses that were highlighted in the Nick Shirley video. Not general fraud.

Your entire argument is that there is no fraud because these specific businesses do not have any arrests yet. That's a dumb ass argument.

I'm not talking about general fraud, but these specific types of childcare fraud. Nothing new to see here.

Nick Shirley's evidence is trying to go into daycare centers and being rejected at door as he should be. There's nothing there.

Daycare fraud wasn't the only types of Medicaid fraud that was highlighted. There was also senior care fraud, autism centers and the Medicaid paid driver companies.

And there obviously is something to see there.

It's hilarious how OP forgot that Bezos jumped in bed with Trump so he is still fighting 2017 MAGA battles.

WaPo didn't endorse a candidate because Jeff Bezos personally intervened and stopped them from publishing an endorsement of Harris.
