John Yoo is a law professor at UC-Berkeley who worked in the Justice Department under President George W. Bush. Today, he appeared on FOX News with
Kayleigh McEnany.
She asked him if there was any possibility that elected officials and state officials in Minnesota could go to prison over the massive fraud that has been uncovered there.
He said that they absolutely can, and maybe not in the way you might think.
Yoo says:
“These people are in a lot of trouble. These are not just overpayments. This is not just, as we were talking about the other day, criminal fraud.
Now that you’re seeing the money end up in the hands of foreign terrorist organizations, the Justice Department’s counter-terrorism and national security division should now get involved and see whether any of these state officers knew or were abetting these money transfers, because if they did they are giving material support to terrorists and they could go to jail for a very long time.”
Kayleigh then asks if any of these people would be covered by any sort of immunity, to which Yoo replies “Of course not.”
As an example, he points to the Wisconsin judge who was recently found guilty of trying to hide an illegal alien from federal officers. He then goes on to say that the situation in Minnesota is actually worse than that.
