From Just the News:
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer told Just the News on Tuesday that Minnesota state employees are providing evidence that could lead to the federal prosecution of Gov. Tim Walz, offering sworn whistleblower testimony confirming the Democratic governor failed to act after they warned about massive taxpayer fraud involving the state’s Somali immigrant population.
“That my friend should be enough for criminal charges. The man should be in cuffs,” Emmer said during a wide-ranging interview on the John Solomon Reports podcast.
While Walz has vehemently denied wrongdoing and insisted he did not turn a blind eye to a fraud scheme that federal prosecutors predict could reach $9 billion, three GOP Minnesota state legislators told Congress last week that there were whistleblowers in state government willing to come forward to chronicle their efforts to alert the Walz administration to fraud and the subsequent retaliation they endured.
The Majority Whip confirmed that whistleblowers are cooperating with investigators and providing testimony about how they tried to alert Governor Walz and state Attorney General Keith Ellison about the fraud. According to these whistleblowers, Governor Walz knew about the fraud and ignored or retaliated against state employees seeking to bring it to his attention.
Majority Whip Emmer said that the retaliation whistleblowers faced included “threatening to blackball you from any future employment, threatening to take away your health benefits, threatening to take away your retirement benefits, and the list goes on.” And, according to state Representative Marion Rarick, who spoke to the U.S. House Oversight and Accountability Committee last week, some whistleblowers even reporting experiencing “a veiled threat of the use of military intelligence against them.”
These testimonies seemingly spell disaster for Governor Walz. As our legislators continue to investigate fraud in Minnesota, let’s pray for the full truth about the corruption to be revealed, and let’s pray for justice!
