Yesterday, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, on behalf of the state and alongside the cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, filed a federal lawsuit that is most notable in the absence of any intelligible legal principle. The effort to stop the surge of federal personnel to investigate fraud and enforce immigration is breathtakingly frivolous and farcical.
Ellison has long been more advocate than attorney in his public life, even praising Antifa for instilling fear in Trump and Ellison’s political opponents.
Ellison has been actively trying to tamp down coverage of the massive fraud under his watch, including potentially billions meant to support children and impoverished families.
Recently, a tape was released in which Ellison met with Somali figures later convicted of fraud and agreed with them that they needed to support “candidates that will fight to protect our interests.”
Now, Ellison is actually trying to get a federal court to prevent the federal government from surging resources in the state to investigate and prosecute fraud. The filing is little more than a press release with a caption on it:
“The Trump Administration’s new focus on “fraud” in Minnesota is just its latest attempt to attack Democratic politicians and more aggressively and recklessly implement their immigration enforcement agenda.”
Ellison wants a federal court to prevent the assignment of federal investigators and law enforcement to the state to enforce federal law. Ironically, the state is making this argument as a matter of state rights under the Tenth Amendment (as well as a series of equally frivolous claims under the Administrative Procedure Act).
Notably, they are trying to dictate the deployment of federal personnel and resources as a federalism claim. The filing is a diatribe that vaguely alleges racial profiling and attacks on “law-abiding citizens.”
The only real live people who back the democrats are crazies, commies and tards! Without fraud they are politically Nothing! Dangerous? Yes, but nothing.
Their trying t o hide all those skeletons in their Closets in Minnesota and Walz-Eyes trying to hide in the Closet
You got to stop it before I’m incriminated!
The man who gave you George Floyd prosecutions based on lies and intimidations. Hopefully he’ll be implicated enough himself to be prosecuted.
Walz should be Investigated himself for all his dirty dealings
When my oldest daughter was about 3, she marked on the side of a planter in the house with a pencil, the one and only time she ever did any such thing. She met us at the door to stop us from coming in saying, “Don’t see something.” I don’t know why; for some reason, this incident comes to mind.
Democrats love to have huge sums of taxpayer money flying around with no one overseeing it. No one wants to slow down the flow because it’s all going to “humanitarian causes”. Daycare centers, health care centers, poverty relief… damn, man, have you no mercy? Don’t you CARE about these poor, needy people?
Instead, they were stealing taxpayer money from THEM, those in need. But, even after this exposure, the Democrats want to tell us, “yeah, all that money was stolen. So, now, we need some more. Send it. Quick. No questions.”
Their last gasp is this, trying to forbid anyone from looking into it. Their press conference was rife with lies. No, citizens are not being “disappeared”. No, people aren’t being shot in the face merely for target practice. Also, ICE IS operating in Texas and Florida; it’s just that the local government cooperates, as they are required to do, instead of acting like spoiled little crybaby assholes. We know this from the ANTIFA attempts to assassinate them.
Like Latitia’s signature on fraudulent documents, Ellison has a recording of him colluding with corruption. There is no other interpretation. But, that doesn’t mean a conveniently placed Soros judge will not derail justice…. again.
