Trump pardoned many fraudsters, some convicted of over a billion in fraud.

The non-racist position is to oppose ALL fraud. Prosecute it. Hold people accountable. trump has proven he is not opposed to fraud. He has pardoned white people convicted of fraud. He has been convicted of falsifying business records.

The federal government began investigating fraud in Minnesota in 2022 which included many in the Somali community. It wasn't partisan. It wasn't racist. It was the way justice is supposed to work.

Do you have any evidence that the position of Minnesota officials is to ignore it and allow 9B+ of fraud, or is that another racist lie?

How long do you expect it will be before the DOJ charges those who have committed fraud?

More than 100 have been charged with dozens of convictions. While most of those charged have been from the Somali community, there have been a few charged who look to be pale skins with American names.

Who is ignoring it? The DOJ has been prosecuting, and getting convictions of, dozens of people for this fraud over the last several years. Is that not what you want?

BTW Trump's position on fraud actually is "ignore it" and let the perpetrators get away with fleecing their victims for hundreds of millions of dollars.

Trump's pardons forgive financial crimes that came with hundreds of millions in punishments

The president’s second-term pardons have wiped clean dozens of financial crimes and significantly more fines and restitution than in past administrations.

The fraud is apparently against the federal government and therefore outside of the jurisdiction of Minnesota officials. It is the place of the FBI to investigate such fraud and the DOJ to prosecute it. Have Minnesota officials in some way impeded such investigation and prosecution? I am asking this honestly because I do not know the answer.

No. It was federal funds but it was administered by the Minnesota department of education. The ringleader has also accused Walz and other government officials of knowledge of the scheme but looking the other way to get support from the Somali community and to avoid accusations of racism. Of course she is facing three decades in prison so she would love to cooperate and help the feds hook a bigger fish.

Then why pardon all those white fraudsters? Why not go after fraud in other cities ?

Campaign donations/bribes. The same reason he pardoned several Hispanic and at least one Asian fraudster. Most, but not all, of the pardons of black people seem to be celebrities probably with the goal of increasing support amongst black voters. Seems they got off cheap.

And again, the fraud is against the federal government no matter who administered the program. PPP funding was almost all issued by private lenders but all fraud investigations and prosecutions go through the feds.

And if there is the implication that those in Minnesota are involved, all the more reason for all investigation and prosecution to happen at the Federal level. So again, have Minnesota officials worked against the FBI or DOJ in investigating this fraud?
