Tim Walz, Rep. Ilhan Oman (MN-05), and Gopher State Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D).

Conversation Walter Curt @wcdispatch Okay @DataRepublican , and I did some general numbers on the SomaliFraud cash going through Minneapolis airport. According to reports, over 2 years, they moved roughly $700MM through the airport.

Couple notes on that number: That would essentially mean that the Somalis were taking a $1 million dollar duffle bag through the airport — EVERY SINGLE DAY — for two years. Further, we can assume that this...
