Amy Klobuchar Selectively Prosecuted White-Collar Crimes, Failed to Pursue Massive Ponzi Scheme—Despite Evidence

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) selectively enforced the law regarding financial crimes as a local prosecutor, often to the benefit of friends and political allies.

The bombshell revelations are detailed in Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America’s Progressive Elite—a new book by Peter Schweizer, a senior contributor at Breitbart News and president of the Government Accountability Institute.

Klobuchar cut a profile as a tough-on-crime prosecutor during her tenure as the chief legal officer of Minnesota’s most populous county in the early 2000s. Not only did she push for locking up more juvenile offenders, but she was also a leading exponent of the “broken windows” theory of policing.

“What I’ve heard again and again is that no crime is a small crime and that we must enforce the law down the line,” she wrote in a policy paper at the time.

Left unsaid, though, is that certain “small” crimes were more likely to warrant prosecution than others, especially depending on one’s personal connection to Klobuchar. As Profiles in Corruption notes, that inequitable approach was nowhere more apparent than “white-collar” crimes.

While Klobuchar aggressively pursued small actors, like airline pilots not paying state income taxes or a home remodeler upcharging his clients, bigger and more nefarious financial crimes were ignored.

A White House tour will be as close as Amy gets to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave...

She could be President of The NY Times with Liarwatha as the VP. Or vise versa or co-presidents or lesbian queens at the Slimes. We’d vote for that yay.

If this gets publicized it would enhance her chances to be the VP nominee on the Democrat ticket in 2020.

The $3.7 billion went somewhere. Into the democrat party.
He himself did not have the cash in his bank account.
The democrat party members are stealing billions from any source and money laundering thru foreign gov’ts.

Would Trump be impeached if he asked someone in Minnesota to look into the crimes?

You know the democrat mob would.
