I wonder how many more of these charges are coming.
Small fish lead to big fish.
I knew the minute that COVID money giveaway scheme was announced that there would be mass fraud, both here and abroad.

I knew a guy who lived in Gold Hill, right on the Rogue river. The old family homestead is now buried under Interstate 5. When he was a kid he worked on Ginger Rogers’ ranch. He said she was a very good tennis player, had a court on the ranch, he used to lob tennis balls for her when she wanted to practice, and that time, according to his teen-age mind, she was still smoking hot.
Read the whole article to get a flavor for the conman.
There is one of these in every community. After getting caught, they move on to other communities and eventually become politicians......................
Indictment, arrest, charges filed are irrelevant. Let me know when he is in jail. Until then all of the preamble is virtue signaling.
Midterms will not matter at this rate. If criminals are not IN JAIL then many, myself included, will not vote.

It took a generation to get to this low point. It will take a generation to change things.
But you want your lollipop NOW, just like a little kid who needs a nap.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Yes, Mr. Caswell has allegedly defrauded federal programs. But that may only be the beginning of problems.
More specifically, I wouldn't be surprised if the federal programs that were defrauded were unconstitutional, based on post-FDR era stolen state powers in conjunction with corrupt Congress's abuse if its repealable (hint) 16th Amendment powers (direct taxes) imo.
In fact, the Supreme Court has historically clarified that Congress has no constitutional authority to dictate, regulate, tax and spend in the name of state power issues, including healthcare.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added]” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
