Billions of dollars of fraud occurred under Tim Walz’s watch, and now it turns out that autism centers did not even require licensing and that state officials were not allowed to conduct unannounced inspections.

The question now is whether Tim and other Minnesota officials were simply ignorant of what was happening, or whether they actively supported, enabled, or even participated in this fraud of epic proportions.

Money tied to Minnesota’s Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention program surged from about $1.7 million in Medicaid reimbursements in 2017 to nearly $229 million in 2024 through late November, with cumulative spending approaching $700 million. That amounts to roughly a 300-fold increase in less than a decade, or about a 30,000 percent rise

Thanks. Apparently doing something? Hopefully not just an act? But it is more than just one issue. It is found. It is off the charts. Not just NINN but they were first i guess. Too bad. Get it stopped. Get the money back.deportation to serve out time in Arica. Its cheaper.

Yeah I agree, grifters ALWAYS go for the money, it was extra trillions flowing out with covid, even Cheeto's team wanted money flowing and deal with the fraud later. They, I believe were surprised at the amount of fraud, old state system with unemployment, Medicaid, covid relief, etc.

I had read about $30 billion had been recovered as about a year ago

 

[JonKoch]

The biggest problem, IMO, is BS like this thread, which is BS and nothing more than red meat to the GOP base.

IF there is fraud, ANYONE lock them up

Pedo? LOCK THEM UP.

Do the crime charge them, but like chasing Bill Clinton, then Hillary, Biden, etc with crap that the GOP spent HUNDREDS of millions on, AS Cheeto has been grifting his entire life.


Cheeto had to pay $25 million for his fraudulent "university".


He had to pay $2 million AND admit he used charity money illegally.


He was found guilty of corporate fraud for paying employees off the books, cars, schools, etc. Fined $1.4 million and found guilty of 17 felonies



The pics are there, he refused to return secret and classified materials, lied to the DOJ, etc, etc, etc


BUT YOU GUYS "BELIEVE" Omar is married to her brother? That the DOJ going to swoop in any minute?

COME ON, GET REAL GUYS, STOP WITH THIS BS

Key preemptive pardons were issued on January 19–20, 2025, just before leaving office. These included:

Five family members: brothers James and Francis Biden, sister Valerie Biden Owens, and their spouses Sara Jones Biden and John T. Owens, for any nonviolent offenses committed between January 1, 2014, and the pardon date.

Dr. Anthony Fauci and General Mark Milley, for any offenses related to their public service.

Members and staff of the January 6th Capitol Attack Committee, and Capitol and D.C. police officers who testified before it.

It speaks to the clear and present need to get rid of the presidential pardon, does it not?

Instead have the most senior, fourth most senior and newest SCOTUS justices rule on pardons four times a year. I would personally make it open to anyone who thinks they are in need of a pardon meaning state criminals too but lets stick with the federal crimes for right now.

Four times a year, they grant pardons and commutations based on evidence. If 2 of 3 agree, the pardon or commutation goes through. If not. Thats it. No re-application.

The pardon system we have right now is a joke. Both major parties have turned it into a get out of jail free card for their well connected friends.

Donald Trump has granted pardons to several individuals convicted of murder, most notably the four Blackwater security guards convicted in the 2007 Nisour Square massacre in Iraq. Additionally, his pardons and commutations have included individuals convicted of violent crimes, including a convicted cop killer, and his clemency actions have spanned to include individuals convicted of various serious felonies.


Blackwater Guards: In December 2020, Trump pardoned Nicholas Slatten, Paul Slough, Evan Liberty, and Dustin Heard, who were serving long prison sentences for killing 14 Iraqi civilians.


Other Convictions: His actions include pardoning a "convicted cop killer" in January 2021, and another recipient was later charged with threatening to murder a politician.

Trump is the most prolific of the pardon reward kleptocracy. In the same way one's prolific feats in crime do not exonerate anyone else who commits a crime, one President's abuse does not erase another president's abuse.

In this instance, there is a clear and present abuse and a specific relief is at hand. Don't get rid of the pardon, just let a 3 judge panel decide who gets them. If one judge has connections, that's great...but the other judge(s) on the panel have to be convinced.

Trump's pardons are grotesque. You're right about that. What is also grotesque is that the work of the police, the prosecutors, the judges, the juries, etc... is just swept away with the stroke of a pen because individual in question was connected.

President Donald Trump's use of the presidential pardon power, particularly during his second term starting in 2025, has resulted in the elimination of more than $1.3 billion to nearly $2 billion in court-ordered restitution and fines owed by individuals convicted of white-collar crimes. These actions have effectively wiped away financial penalties designed to compensate victims and taxpayers, often benefiting wealthy allies, business executives, and political supporters.

President Trump’s Pardons: An Embarrassment of Riches​

The scope and magnitude of Trump’s second-term pardons are unprecedented. Joe Biden granted 80 pardons in his four-year term, but Trump’s pardons make his predecessor’s look like a drop in the bucket. In the first year of the second Trump administration, the president issued 166 individual pardons, as well as a mass pardon that erased the verdicts of more than 1,500 January 6 Capitol rioters. In other words, even putting aside the rioters’ collective pardon, Trump is now issuing pardons at eight times the rate Biden did. Nonetheless, the fact that a president issues more pardons than his predecessors is not necessarily problematic. The real problem lies in the great number of particular second-term pardons that appear indefensible. Such pardons fall into five categories.



First: Biden’s pardons eliminated roughly $680,000 in financial penalties (fines, restitution, and forfeitures) owed to victims or the government. In contrast, Liz Oyer, the former lead pardon attorney of the United States, has calculated that Trump’s second-term pardons have forgiven criminal debts of more than $1.5 billion. This staggering sum—composed of money owed to crime victims and to government treasuries—has been zeroed out by presidential edict.

Trump’s pardon pen was a boon to ex-criminals like Trevor Milton (who no longer must repay the investors he defrauded $660 million) and Lawrence Duran (who no longer must repay the government he defrauded $87 million).



It was also a boon to HDR Global Trading Ltd., which owed the nation a $100 million fine; in this case, Trump also made history by granting the nation’s very first pardon to a corporation.



Second: Trump has normalized the pardoning of disgraced politicians, such as former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernandez (who orchestrated a spree of state-sponsored drug trafficking leading to a 45-year prison term), Nevada legislator Michele Fiore (who embezzled $70,000 out of a police memorial fund for personal expenses like rent and plastic surgery), Virginia sheriff Scott Jenkins (who handed out badges to untrained businessmen in exchange for $75,000 in bribes), and Tennessee House Speaker Glen Casada (who defrauded state government with a fake-payee kickback scheme).



Perhaps I should disclose my proximity to one such pardon recipient, Arkansas legislator Jeremy Hutchinson (who traded official acts for bribes, embezzled from campaign funds, and filed false tax returns); Hutchinson’s tenure in the state Senate, which ended with simultaneous indictments in three federal districts, began when he defeated me in a Republican primary.
