Before becoming the attorney general of Minnesota, Keith Ellison served in the House of Representatives, for the state’s 5th District, which includes the city of Minneapolis.

During his time in congress, Ellison only sponsored one bill, the Money Remittances Improvement Act of 2014. This bill made it easier to transfer funds to places overseas, like Somalia. Isn’t that fascinating?

You could not make this up.

Couple this with the fact that Ellison was caught on tape basically promising favors to fraudsters, and things are not looking good for him.

Hot Air has more on this:

It turns out that this bill was the Money Remittances Improvement Act, which created the conditions through which those hundreds of millions or likely billions of dollars were fraudulently acquired and sent off to fund the Somali civil war and to enrich members of Somali clans associated with those who settled here in Minnesota.

Any financial bill is complicated, but the most relevant portion of the bill in this case is to transfer the authority to monitor money transfers to foreign countries to the states, which are in turn supposed to ensure that federal regulations are strictly adhered to…

It’s almost as if the system were intentionally designed not to aid in the small remittances of people working in menial jobs as refugees to send money to their families back home, but rather to enable the shipment of hundreds of millions or billions of ill-gotten gains abroad.

Naah. Couldn’t be.

Such corruption is impossible in America, right? A no man with the patriotism and integrity that would vault him to the exalted heights of Congressman, Deputy Chair of the Democratic National Committee, and then Attorney General would ever participate in a scheme to defraud the state and federal governments, right?

In the video below, where Ellison is talking about the bill, he is being interviewed by the Mogadishu Times. Again, you could not make this up, no one would believe it.

In 2011, then-Congressman Keith Ellison—now Minnesota’s Attorney General admitted that “there is no control at all” when discussing what would happen once the banks stopped working with the hawalas.

At the end of this clip, Ellison says, “The discussion focused on how we can keep money flowing to Somalia.” Watch:

Keith Ellison served as a congressman for more than a decade and the only bill he sponsored and was signed into law was Money Remittances Improvement Act of 2014.

Doesn’t that kind of say it all?

A woman who has been convicted of welfare fraud in Minnesota and is considered a major figure in the scandal plaguing the state is now claiming that Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison knew what was going on the whole time.

This news comes at a rough time for Walz and Ellison, who are already under the microscope of an investigation by the Department of Justice.

Ellison has responded to this woman’s claims by trying to say that as a fraudster herself, she lacks credibility.

FOX News reports:

Convicted Minnesota fraudster alleges Walz, Ellison were aware of widespread fraud

A Minnesota woman convicted in one of the state’s largest fraud schemes alleged in a jailhouse interview that Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison were aware of widespread fraud well before federal prosecutors stepped in.

Aimee Bock, the former head of the nonprofit Feeding Our Future, spoke to Fox News from Sherburne County Jail in Minnesota, claiming state officials continued approving and paying claims even after concerns were raised about potential fraud.

Bock alleged the state approved program sponsors and was responsible for monitoring claims, but officials repeatedly failed to investigate or stop suspicious companies after she flagged them.

“I honestly believe Keith Ellison and Gov. Walz need to be held accountable. There needs to be an investigation done. If they weren’t aware, that’s concerning,” she told Fox News.

“I have to believe that the governor’s office and Keith Ellison’s office were aware of this. They’ve said they were involved in helping the FBI. They’ve said they were made aware, but apparently I’m scary, so they couldn’t do anything,” Bock added.

In response, a spokesperson for Ellison’s office said Bock lacked credibility, pointing out her federal prison sentence. “She is a liar, fraudster, and manipulator of the highest order who has never acknowledged or accepted her guilt. Now, she’s on a media tour to deflect her guilt onto others instead of finally taking responsibility for the fraud scheme she ran,” the spokesperson said.

The walls are closing in on Walz, Ellison and others in Minnesota. It will be amazing if Walz doesn’t resign before his term is finished.

What a lunatic! Can someone get this man some mental health help?

If anything, Fanone’s behavior inside the Jack Smith hearing when he went on what appeared to be a ‘Roid rage illustrates the temperament of the J6 police that instigated The People at the Fedsurrection.

Watch Fanone puff out his chest and threaten journalist Ivan Raiklan at the Jack Smith hearing and start babbling nonsense.

Many Trump supporters thank Fanone for making it clear that unhinged and unqualified J6 police were largely to blame for the events that transpired that day!

The post Cryin’ J6 Cop Michael Fanone Had Another Epic Meltdown at the Jack Smith Hearing! WATCH FANONE GO BERZERK AFTER QUESTIONED BY TGP’s CARA CASTRONUOVA! appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith was ambushed by reporters upon exiting the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday after he testified publicly for the first time on his political persecution of President Trump. 

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Jack Smith admitted that he targeted Trump with flimsy evidence that he knew was bogus, knowingly violated the law by spying on members of Congress, intentionally withheld names from Judges to obtain search warrants for GOP lawmakers, and that he wasn’t properly sworn in as Special Counsel. And it was all to stop the leading Presidential candidate from returning to the White House after the election was stolen.

President Trump responded after the hearing, calling for Jack Smith to be prosecuted for weaponizing the DOJ and for perjury. “Based on his testimony today, there is no question that Deranged Jack Smith should be prosecuted for his actions. He destroyed the lives of many innocent people, which has been his history as a prosecutor,” Trump said on Truth Social following Smith’s testimony.

JUST IN: Trump Says Jack Smith Committed Perjury and Should be Prosecuted After Tense Congressional Testimony

The Biden Regime's targeting of Trump, the Republican Party, and every day conservative Americans was perhaps the greatest weaponization of justice and abuse of power in US history-- even bigger than Watergate.

From the January 6 charges, the Mar-a-Lago raid, the "fake electors" indictments in four states, to the "hush money" indictment, no political candidate in America has ever faced more abuse from the ruling party.

TGP contributor Cara Castronuova and this author confronted Smith with questions about his weaponization of the Justice system against Trump, Trump's allies, and Republican lawmakers.

Smith didn't answer a single question.

WATCH:

Castronuova: What do you say to allegations that you defrauded the American people? That you wasted taxpayer dollars on politically persecuting the President?

Sir, did you defraud the American public?

Do you think you’re going to jail, Mr. Smith? Do you think the DOJ will come after you?

Conradson: How could you say that Trump has no First Amendment right to question an election, but Hillary Clinton gets away with the Russian Collusion Hoax?

Castronuova: Were you shocked that President Trump won the election? Did you think you were going to get away with breaking the law?

Mr. Smith, did you commit perjury? Are you afraid you’re going to be indicted?

Conradson: Why'd you seek to hide the lawmakers' names that you were subpoenaing and spying on? Would you have done this for a Republican President going against Democrats in Congress?

How does it feel to be a part of the biggest weaponization of government in history?

The post WATCH: Jack Smith Refuses to Take Questions After GOP Lawmakers Plow Him in Judiciary Committee Hearing appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

Former special counsel Jack Smith appeared for a testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday as GOP lawmakers probed his efforts to interfere with President Trump’s 2024 election.

Merrick Garland, US Attorney General under Biden, appointed Jack Smith to investigate Trump in November 2022, just one day after Trump announced a 2024 White House bid.

In June 2023, Smith indicted Trump on 37 federal counts in Miami for lawfully storing presidential records at his Mar-a-Lago estate, which was protected by Secret Service agents.

In a separate case in Washington DC, Jack Smith indicted Trump on four counts: Conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.

During Thursday’s hearing, Jack Smith said he could not remember who swore him in as special counsel.

It is required by law to be sworn in and take an oath of office.

GOP Rep. Lance Gooden grilled Jack Smith about this and suggested he was an illegitimate prosecutor.

In November 2022, Jack Smith was supposedly sworn in as special counsel.

However, 11 months later, Merrick Garland curiously administered a second oath.

Jack Smith repeatedly claimed he ‘couldn’t recall’ or ‘couldn’t remember’ executing an oath of office.

At one point, House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan interjected, asking Jack Smith which oath of office counted.

Jack Smith did not give Chairman Jordan a straight answer.
