I can just hear a bunch of dumb democrats right now.

“YOU MEAN THE MONEY TREE I PLANTED IN MY RENTED YARD WONT PRODUCE MONEY”?

By the way, the rented yard is Sec.8 and paid for by the money tree TAXPAYERS!

Thanks for posting that list!

You won't see that on MSNBC or Fox News.

Of course our filthy media will label these perps as "Minnesota men", deliberately obfuscating who they really are.

I'm skeptical that much the money was “illegally” stolen.

It is more likely Congress somewhere in the thousands of pages of spending legislation made provision to legally shovel the money to family, friends, and auxiliaries. I don't see how any democrat goes to jail.

Being immoral is not the same as being illegal. The DOJ can even make shady fit into Section 666 of the budget proviso.

Yep; this Bock bitch was the face of the program just to give it “legitimacy”. All the rest are those blasted skinnies who are taught scamming from birth.

These @$$holes do not belong here.

Because our justice system is as corrupt as law enforcement. We’re losing the fight. Morality is shot.

The best way to defraud the government is for your restaurant or cafeteria to provide 8,000 meals, but document that you provided 10,000 meals for reimbursement purposes. You skim off about $10,000 for yourself and chances are excellent you'll get away with this rounding error.

Don't do what these guys did. They said their catering service provided 1.5 million meals for children in six months when their fake catering service served zero.
