The Trump DOJ is very successful in trying cases in the court of public opinion. They have fallen quite short of success in actual courtrooms. I'll wait for cases to actually be taken before a judge and jury. How short? Umm. That's why I said to keep an eye on it. But, my spidy sense there's quite a bit there, the criminal types were talking to each other about it.

MINNEAPOLIS — A Minneapolis woman has pleaded guilty for her role in the $250 million fraud scheme that exploited a federally funded child nutrition program during the COVID-19 pandemic, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Lisa D. Kirkpatrick.
According to court documents, Najmo M. Ahmed helped her husband Said Ereg run a small storefront grocery store in Minneapolis called Evergreen Grocery and Deli. In April 2020, Ereg enrolled Evergreen Grocery and Deli in the Federal Child Nutrition Program as a food distribution site under the sponsorship of Feeding Our Future. Under the direction of her husband, Ahmed signed falsified meal count sheets, including one dated Dec. 31, 2020, claiming Evergreen Grocery and Deli served 3,250 children – twice a day – during the week of Jan. 24, 2021. Between April 2020 and April 2021, Evergreen Grocery and Deli claimed to have served over 1.4 million meals to children.
