Minnesota Fraud Investigator and Fomer State Trooper: Senior Tim Walz Officials Ordered Me to Illegally Bury Evidence of Rampant "Childcare" Fraud

Just forget what you leared about childcare fraud, they told him.


A former state trooper who ran fraud investigations inside Minnesota's Department of Human Services told state lawmakers Tuesday that senior officials ordered him to delete findings, harassed his unit, and tried to shut down probes into what he now calls an organized criminal enterprise looting the state's public-benefit system. His testimony landed the same day federal agents raided more than 20 businesses in Minneapolis as part of a widening crackdown on suspected fraud in publicly funded childcare and nutrition programs.

Jay Swanson, who led a DHS fraud investigations unit from 2014 to 2018, appeared before the Minnesota House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Policy Committee with a blunt account of institutional failure. He described a pattern in which investigators flagged large-scale fraud in the Child Care Assistance Program, only to be met with hostility from the very officials who should have acted on the evidence.

...

Swanson told the committee that his unit's work quickly put it on a collision course with DHS leadership. As the Daily Mail reported, Swanson said a senior DHS official confronted him directly over a document his team had prepared, and demanded that portions of it be removed.

"I soon had a senior DHS official in my office, angry, red-faced, and almost yelling. The senior DHS official told me to delete a number of paragraphs of the document. I then advised this official that I believed what they were telling me to do was illegal."

Swanson did not name the official in the quoted testimony. But he made clear the pressure was not an isolated incident. He described a broader campaign against his investigators that went beyond bureaucratic friction.

...

The former investigator also offered a broader assessment of what his team had uncovered, framing it as the beginning of something far larger than a few bad actors gaming a single program.

"As I look back with the benefit of 2020 hindsight, I realized that what our team saw was the early stages of a somewhat loosely organized criminal enterprise beginning to pillage Minnesota's public benefit system."

One of Swanson's most striking claims concerned how widely known Minnesota's vulnerability had become. He told lawmakers that suspects his unit investigated said they had first learned about the fraud opportunity while still living abroad.

As the New York Post reported, Swanson said investigators found it was common knowledge in Somali refugee camps in Kenya that Minnesota was the place to go.

"They had heard you could run the scam in a number of different states, but it was easiest, and you could make the most money doing it in Minnesota."

That testimony aligns with separate sworn claims from another former DHS investigator, Scott Dexter. As Just the News reported, Dexter said his unit found evidence of large-scale fraud in the Child Care Assistance Program involving Somali-run daycare centers, but that investigations were narrowed or converted from law-enforcement cases to internal administrative matters because of political pressure and accusations of bias.

And we haven't even begun to dig into the greatest Fraud State in the world, California. A 2020 report warned Newsom in no uncertain terms that the state was left wide-open to hospice fraud, and Newsom did nothing, because, of course, the Party of Plunder exists solely to plunder and pillage from the hardworking normies.

This is what's known as a Protected Disclosure - a report of a violation of a law, rule or regulation to an official who has the responsibility to correct same. Any follow-on negative action taken against (or positive action withheld) constitutes reprisal.

In addition, they want you dead. It's not a contradiction, cause while they don't have the power to kill you, they'll settle for looting you for their own benefit. (Remember how much money the fraudsters "donated" to the Democrat Party and the Socialists in Minnesota.)

White progressives blame the black caucus for both Biden and Kamala. They openly talk about needing to sideline the black vote in primaries.

The thing is, they have to consolidate all of the not-black vote into one candidate, and that's not happening, especially when 30% of white Democrats support the same candidate as the black caucus.

76 NONE of the rampant fraud that exists all across Federal and state governments could have taken root without compromising or outright sellout by the various regulatory and audit systems that were put in place DECADES AGO for the explicit purpose of preventing ANY OF THIS from taking place.

Any organization, public or private, of any size would have in place an internal audit program. Otherwise, leadership couldn't trust their data enough to make good operating decisions.

Any state and federal regulatory agency would have on their radar any organization of any size to do periodic reviews/examinations to ensure they're following the rules, and they would REVIEW and COMMENT on the adequacy (or lack thereof) of the organization's internal audit program.

Lastly, the "Big" accounting firms willingly looked the other way and certified sets of books that were largely fictional.

Its grift and intentional negligence all.the.way.down.

78 Crazy internet conspiracy I saw recently:

This weekend, they triggered the internet "kill switch" for 0.7 seconds at 3am (I think?)
Unnoticeable in real time.
That time is the only daily overlap between Japan, Europe and American banks, where they all reconcile their transfers and accounts.
But, that instant froze all traffic long enough for the US to take a snapshot.
How much money, who, and where; the trillions of off-books money propping up the global system and hidden from the people.
That now the US is going to use to take them all down.

Kinda a "Live Free or Die Hard" plot I guess

This is why Somali immigrants can have both a low average IQ and also commit prolific fraud. They didn't need a clever plan to evade law enforcement, the evasion was done for them. And they didn't need to know much about the system they were defrauding, they were guided through the necessary steps by the people who ran the system. I look forward to discovering the way the skim was transferred to the politicians who made this happen.

Why were Somalis used for this? Maybe because they take naturally to thievery, and were beyond reproach as a protected class. Like cardboard cutouts otherwise.

95 White progressives blame the black caucus for both Biden and Kamala. They openly talk about needing to sideline the black vote in primaries.

The thing is, they have to consolidate all of the not-black vote into one candidate, and that's not happening, especially when 30% of white Democrats support the same candidate as the black caucus.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at May 05, 2026 03:03 PM (w4o6z)

If they had made the black caucus partners instead of sharecroppers on their grievance estate they wouldn't have to do any of that. And the same problem exists in the non racial college grad woke / commie / palestinian / islamist subgroups as well. They actually are zealots for the lies they have been told all these years.

Home hospice is ripe for abuse regardless but last week I heard a talk radio interview and the program was expanded to pay family to do basic cooking, cleaning, visiting with elderly relatives. Not a a quote but the caller said people should just do basic care for family w/o the gub'mint having to pay them. In home care subsidies should only cover people that need actual medical care. Hell my dad needed low level medical care and I just did that after a (privately paid) aide showed me how. I know not everyone is blessed to be in the laptop class and have the care situation overlap their work getting paranoid about the wuhan lung rot and wanting them to work from home; but people need to do for family and the people who don't have decent family need to save a bit more and pay for someone to come in and cook and clean x hours a week themselves instead of thinking the taxpayers need to fund it.

I'd love to see the Democrat Party cancel its primary again, this time without the winner of the primary just deciding to step aside for reasons.

It would entertain me.

But the chances of that are...very low.

And anyone watching Democrats trying to actually control their presidential primary over the past 10 years should come to the conclusion that they have lost completely control and barely had it in 2016 when their sacrificial lamb almost beat the most qualified person in human history to run a country.

Natural born citizens can't be deported.

They almost lost the Democrat primary in 2016 to a sacrificial lamb no one took seriously.

They lost completely control of the 2020 primary and had to settle with Biden (no, they hadn't decided on Biden early because of language around the impeachment, that's why they put money in Kamala, Warren, Buttigieg, and Beto before getting them all to drop out and let Biden take the nomination from Bernie, the actual frontrunner).

"But, they did 2024!" Yes, by having the guy who won the nomination quit and then handing everything over to his VP (despite supposed behind the scenes plans to do something else which was stupid on its face).

2028 will be like 2020 but without a Bernie.

A more obvious answer that they sort of mention without much depth? Menopause. Its a big change and if you live with a definition of marriage that says you should only stick with marriage when it meets your specific immediate needs and then your needs change? Divorce.

🚨 Minnesota had sent $67 million to nine daycare centers that were raided last week.

Funding for these nine providers more than doubled from 2023 to 2025—even though they reported serving roughly the same number of children.

KSTP requested this data back in December, but the state has refused to provide it. The records had to be obtained through Fraud Oversight Chair Rep. Kristin Robbins (R).

1) I shouldn't have to change anything about me or my habits to get a partner - men should find me and just love me for who I am!

2) It is normal to have fancy vacations, cool expensive events, and a constant party going on in your own personal life

237 136 Some of the feel good programs just need to be ended. Home hospice is ripe for abuse regardless but last week I heard a talk radio interview and the program was expanded to pay family to do basic cooking, cleaning, visiting with elderly relatives. Not a a quote but the caller said people should just do basic care for family w/o the gub'mint having to pay them. In home care subsidies should only cover people that need actual medical care. Hell my dad needed low level medical care and I just did that after a (privately paid) aide showed me how. I know not everyone is blessed to be in the laptop class and have the care situation overlap their work getting paranoid about the wuhan lung rot and wanting them to work from home; but people need to do for family and the people who don't have decent family need to save a bit more and pay for someone to come in and cook and clean x hours a week themselves instead of thinking the taxpayers need to fund it.

The target cases are lay-ups--legally.
But, even allowing one to succeed opens the door to thousands more; proof of concept, as they say.

You believe the Bernie story on the surface, I believe that he was working for "them" to keep the Left, who hated the vile Hillary and would have had little interest, involved in the election.

Hence "America is tired of your emails" and hence Bernie giving all the valuable voter data they collected over to her campaign. Hillary could have never gotten those names and numbers by herself. Never.

These are things I said at the time, not hindsight. Predicting the future is very very hard but I have a clarity that drives my opinions and more often than not they bear fruit.

Quote the post and timestamp it if that's exactly what I said, otherwise take it easy with the claims. I have been clear for about five years that Booty was "next" behind Kamala but that doesn't mean I think they are sticking with it now. Nor have I said so.

Trump being alive and winning in 2024 altered things. Not in a way that would make Kamala more likely but definitely in a way that would make Booty less so.

That said I *absolutely* believe he would be shoved in if they could.

I have not declared who it will definitely be, because who knows? I don't believe it will be a woman again and definitely not Kamala, that I've been pretty sure of.

284 Oh, and one interesting aspect of the argument that "marriage is more valuable for men" is that married men live longer.

But the correlation here is different then they are trying to present it.

Higher status/wealthier men are more likely to get married and more likely to stay married.

And as you might expect higher status/wealthier men also live longer irrespective of whether they are married or not.

Hopefully investigations are expanding. There are many more states and U.S. territories to exam before some statute of limitations runs out or there's no one left to answer to massive fraud.

Key actions taken by US territories regarding Medicaid during the pandemic included:

Expansion of Coverage: Puerto Rico used increased funds to raise eligibility thresholds, adding thousands of new beneficiaries.

Provider Rate Increases: Territories, including Puerto Rico, utilized funds to increase payments to physicians and hospitals.

Service Enhancements: The U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) implemented a personal care attendant (PCA) program and expanded hospice benefits.

Vaccine Coverage: Medicaid payments for COVID-19 vaccines during the emergency were exempted from the normal federal funding caps.

Funding Utilization: Territories saw 22% to 50% increases in federal funding to support health centers during the pandemic.

334 Divorce is a racket and women are the beneficiaries of it, not men. Women frequently and cynically abuse the system because it was designed to be abused by them. Much, much more frequently than men are bad husbands who deserve to be divorced and cleaned up.

This isn't deniable. There are mountains of statistical evidence, but anyone with eyes can see it. If you're pretending otherwise, it's just a reflexive defense of Duh Sisterhood.

Stop trying to put this on men. We don't blame women for the rape problem.
