1. This is new. Another 5 people are charged in the Twin Cities with Medicaid fraud totaling over $10M (we'll come back to this).
2. The guy pictured (1) was charged in a prior theft by swindle case and the video shown was from a probation violation hearing in the case last year. His lawyer pictured in the video is former state Rep. John Lesch (pic 2-3) .
The fraud in the case John Lesch was defending for this guy, occurred WHILE John Lesch was a state rep.
It just seems dirty that someone who had a fiduciary responsibility to the people of the state ends up defending a criminal who defrauded taxpayers under that state rep's own watch (and this isn't new, it's just gross. See also Sen. Bobby Joe Champion for many more examples).
3. Circling back, can someone please put together a shareable Google spreadsheet showing the number of fraud cases and the amounts (must be closing in on $1 billion by now) that has occurred under the watch of GovTimWalz and AG Ellison
