Minnesota lacked fraud evidence vs Feeding Our Future before FBI got involved

One thing was missing in Minnesota's months-long legal battle against Feeding Our Future: specific evidence of fraud presented to a judge. The FBI later did what the Minnesota Department of Education and Minnesota attorney general's office did not, producing an avalanche of evidence that has resulted in 49 indictments in what federal prosecutors consider the biggest pandemic fraud scheme in the country. The feds say at least $250 million meant to feed low-income kids was stolen.

$250 million dollars. And no one could prove it. The governor, attorney general, and other department heads have got to go.

Great job, Keith Ellison! Don’t worry though. He’ll be re-elected in November.

How much did the Governor, Lt. Governor, and AG.. make under the table... the judges.. politicians.. no access to bank records? When you subpoena that stuff under warrant from a judge you will get the records if there is enough reporting of crimes with probable cause.. they go into people's private homes under less pretense.

This only means they are in more trouble with the Feds.

Then they were not looking for it very hard.
