<\/p>\n
Before becoming the attorney general of Minnesota, Keith Ellison served in the House of Representatives, for the state\u2019s 5th District, which includes the city of Minneapolis.<\/p>\n
During his time in congress, Ellison only sponsored one bill, the Money Remittances Improvement Act of 2014. This bill made it easier to transfer funds to places overseas, like Somalia. Isn\u2019t that fascinating?<\/p>\n
You could not make this up.<\/p>\n
Couple this with the fact that Ellison was caught on tape basically promising favors to fraudsters,<\/a> and things are not looking good for him.<\/p>\n Hot Air<\/a> has more on this:<\/p>\n It turns out that this bill was the Money Remittances Improvement Act, which created the conditions through which those hundreds of millions or likely billions of dollars were fraudulently acquired and sent off to fund the Somali civil war and to enrich members of Somali clans associated with those who settled here in Minnesota. <\/p>\n Any financial bill is complicated, but the most relevant portion of the bill in this case is to transfer the authority to monitor money transfers to foreign countries to the states, which are in turn supposed to ensure that federal regulations are strictly adhered to\u2026<\/p>\n It\u2019s almost as if the system were intentionally designed not to aid in the small remittances of people working in menial jobs as refugees to send money to their families back home, but rather to enable the shipment of hundreds of millions or billions of ill-gotten gains abroad. <\/p>\n Naah. Couldn\u2019t be.<\/p>\n Such corruption is impossible in America, right? A no man with the patriotism and integrity that would vault him to the exalted heights of Congressman, Deputy Chair of the Democratic National Committee, and then Attorney General would ever participate in a scheme to defraud the state and federal governments, right?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n In the video below, where Ellison is talking about the bill, he is being interviewed by the Mogadishu Times<\/em>. Again, you could not make this up, no one would believe it.<\/p>\n In 2011, then-Congressman Keith Ellison\u2014now Minnesota\u2019s Attorney General admitted that \u201cthere is no control at all\u201d when discussing what would happen once the banks stopped working with the hawalas. <\/p>\n That hypothetical situation he described more than a decade ago with suitcases\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/i4W6pUT9Xf<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 easttowestt (@westtoeastt) January 20, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n At the end of this clip, Ellison says, \u201cThe discussion focused on how we can keep money flowing to Somalia.\u201d Watch:<\/p>\n Keith Ellison served as a congressman for more than a decade and the only bill he sponsored and was signed into law was Money Remittances Improvement Act of 2014.<\/p>\n His only concern was about getting money to Somalia pic.twitter.com\/fadZAKHUa7<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 easttowestt (@westtoeastt) January 20, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Doesn\u2019t that kind of say it all?<\/p>\n\n
