It would pay one well to understand what the False Claims act is and how it is enforced. The act, though originally called “Lincoln’s Law” became an effective tool in 1986 when it was revamped to permit private entities, “whistleblowers” to file suit on behalf of the federal government (qui tam provision). The most recent numbers report that the Federal government has recovered over $48 billion and the private parties have shared about $5.3 Billion in sharing settlements. This story smells of smoked herring.

The False Claims Act could be a huge weapon in dealing with sanctuary cities.

But AG Sessions will need new leadership and foot soldiers in the part of DoJ responsible for these cases. They are not to be trusted.

It would help to use the real name: bounty hunting.
