KEITH ELLISON IS FEELING THE HEAT AND DOESN’T LIKE IT:
The centerpiece of Minnesota’s scandal — the Feeding Our Future catastrophe — predominantly involved Somali-American individuals and organizations. Federal indictments and prosecutions document this. This isn’t a talking point; it’s a court record. Prosecutors allege fraudsters fabricated meal sites, claimed to feed children who didn’t exist, and laundered over $250 million, with money flowing out of the country to Somalia and Kenya. Oh, and Muslims. Let’s not forget the linkage between the fraudsters and Ellison. How much of that fraud money came back to Ellison himself in various forms, including campaign funding, for example, remains an open question.
The congressional investigation keeps returning to one pointed question: the majority of fraud perpetrators came from a community that is both Muslim and a core political constituency for Ellison. He had the authority. He had the information. He had the tools. He did nothing.
As far as I can see, his meltdown in front of a Fox News Digital reporter doesn’t weaken that line of inquiry. It strengthens it. But nothing to see here, citizen. Continue paying your taxes and go about your lives.
