Representative Hudson [Minnesota Fraud Hearing]: Deputy U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson, serving the District of Minnesota, has said that he could keep a thousand prosecutors busy, but he's limited to a mere twenty-five, only five of which are tasked with building fraud cases. He estimates that the total amount of criminal fraud over fiver years may reach nine billion dollars, which is fully one half of the money that has been directed to these programs by the state.

Representative Rarick [Minnesota Fraud Hearing]: In our face to face meetings with a group of whistleblowers, they revealed that retaliation now includes, threats of being fired with cause, which means you do not get unemployment insurance in the state of Minnesota, being blacklisted from all state agencies, and I would note, most likely our largest counties as well, which are democrat-run. And then there was a veiled threat of the use of military intelligence against them.They later informed me that it was discovered that in some targeted employees, or suspected whistleblowers personnel files, were pictures of their homes and their cars.
