The convicted ringleader of Minnesota's quarter-billion-dollar welfare fraud operation just delivered a devastating blow to former VP candidate Tim Walz's political future – and what she's revealing from behind bars should infuriate every American taxpayer.
Amy Bach, the woman facing decades in federal prison for orchestrating the massive theft, told Fox News she believes Governor Walz's office and Attorney General Keith Ellison "were aware of this massive theft and did nothing to stop it." Now the FBI is following a money trail that leads straight to Walz's inner circle, and House Republicans are preparing subpoenas that will leave nowhere to hide.
The Staggering Scale of Theft
A quarter billion dollars – money meant to feed hungry American children – got funneled through fake daycare facilities and sham restaurants while Minnesota Democrats apparently watched it happen in real time. These criminal networks set up fraudulent operations, pretended to make meals, got paid by the state, then pocketed the cash.
The scope is breathtaking: One smuggler got caught at Minneapolis airport with $800,000 in a suitcase heading overseas. How much more walked right through undetected while Walz's administration turned a blind eye?
GOP Drops the Hammer
House GOP Chairwoman Lisa McClain didn't mince words during congressional testimony, declaring that "Democrats took money from your kids – the kids who need it most – dumped it into fraudulent facilities and turned the other way when abuse was reported."
Even more damning: House Oversight Chairman James Comer revealed that Democrat whistleblowers from within Minnesota's state government have come forward with documents proving the fraud occurred and implicating both Walz and Ellison in the cover-up.
The Ellison Connection Gets Suspicious
Here's where it gets really dirty: Attorney General Keith Ellison only sponsored two bills that passed Congress, and one was the Money Remittances Improvement Act that eased international transfers to Somalia. There's video of Ellison saying the discussion focused on "how we can keep money flowing to Somalia." That legislation looks extremely suspicious now that we know a quarter billion dollars got stolen and shipped overseas.
Vice President JD Vance didn't hold back, calling Walz "a joke who enabled fraud and possibly participated in it." With FBI investigations ongoing and subpoenas coming, the truth about this massive theft of taxpayer dollars is finally coming to light. The question is: how deep does this corruption really go?
