Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is feeling the pinch a bit, no? Having covered his political tracks by withdrawing from re-election —but defiantly not quitting— he’s now getting special attention from DOJ in the form of a couple of pending grand jury subpoenas. He might be under looming indictment. Then again, he might not. One hires the criminal defense lawyer anyway, doesn’t one? The Washington Post reported, “Justice Dept. launches criminal investigation of Minnesota governor.”
Unnamed sources said two Grand Jury subpoenas —one for Walz and one for Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey— are out for service. “The subpoenas, which are without recent precedent,” the Washington Post noted, drily, “escalate an already bitter political battle between the Trump administration and state officials.” Haha, one can think of a recent escalatory precedent if one tries hard enough. Offstage, the Trump prosecutions coughed politely.
Walz finds himself pinned between a cleft stick, or whatever the saying is. He’s never been particularly attractive, at least not to me, and I’m not just talking about his ghastly ideological views. If you ask me, the man has a mug like a bloated catfish some Chinese fisherman dragged out of the river in a net, and probably afflicted with a bad fungal infection, by the looks of him. You could sketch him into a Simpson’s episode without modification; he looks like a caricature of a governor. Not very Minnesotan, so far as I can tell. But I digress.
There’s an unreported but much bigger story here. I penciled out a quick list of all the public officials that are or have been under DOJ investigation or prosecution. The Devil’s inventory is swelling:
- Tim Walz, catfish-like governor of Minnesota
- Jacob Frey, slimy mayor of Minneapolis
- Jerome Powell, chairman of the Federal Reserve and palace-builder
- Lisa Cook, Federal Reserve governor (diversity hire)
- James Comey, former FBI Director and Russiagate architect
- Letitia James, trash-talking New York Attorney General
- Adam Schiff, shifty U.S. Senator
- John Bolton, former National Security Advisor and deep-state crocodile
- Elissa Slotkin, U.S. Senator (for her reckless “defy illegal orders” video)
- Mark Kelley, U.S. Senator (same)
- Jack Smith, pencil-necked former Special Counsel on Trump prosecutions
- Dana Williamson, shady former Chief of Staff to Governor Newsom (swamp operator)
- Sean McCluskie, top aide to former HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra (and vaccine mandate architect)
- Greg Campbell, heavyweight Sacramento Democrat lobbyist and fundraising bundler, now jailbird
There are more in the crosshairs. Fani Willis is probably wondering when she’ll get a visit from the process server, for example. Trump has teased investigations of Governor Newsom himself, for another.
I ask you— have you ever seen anything like this?
It shows no sign of slowing down. If anything, it is picking up pace. As I’ve previously reported, last week on January 8th, the White House created a new Division for National Fraud Enforcement, homed in the West Wing and not the DOJ, which is rapidly ramping up to focus on welfare and benefits fraud, and its website suggests a plethora of new fraud prosecutions coming soon.
While Democrats aren’t silent, they are eerily quiet. Why aren’t all these prosecutions of Democrat officials bigger news? Why aren’t there Watergate-style front-page headlines in the big platforms about it every day? Why aren’t the op-eds packed with outraged protests about politicized justice? Why aren’t Democrats mounting a Joe McCarthy-style pushback operation? Why isn’t this their main campaign theme for the 2026 midterms? Why, of all things, is the big issue affordability?
This is the harvest of the Trump prosecutions. His time in the dock immunized him against the “revenge” narrative that corporate media tried to ignite but which sputtered out in the torrential downpour of anti-elite populism, even within the Democrat base itself. There is a general consensus, ironically reinforced by corporate media itself, that no one is above the law.
Without control of Congress or the Senate, Democrats can’t initiate investigations and mug for cameras at outraged committee meetings. They are also wary of loudly promoting the prosecutions because it could energize MAGA and increase turnout. And so a purge ten times bigger than Watergate is underway, and the Democrats have no effective counter.
Don’t miss how historic this moment is. Be energized.
Walleye will soon have more to worry about without Clinton(Bill)Obama or Biden to protect him his days as the King of Minnesota could be over
