Before becoming the attorney general of Minnesota, Keith Ellison served in the House of Representatives, for the state’s 5th District, which includes the city of Minneapolis.
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’t that fascinating?
You could not make this up.
Couple this with the fact that Ellison was caught on tape basically promising favors to fraudsters, and things are not looking good for him.
Hot Air has more on this:
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.
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…
It’s 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.
Naah. Couldn’t be.
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?
In the video below, where Ellison is talking about the bill, he is being interviewed by the Mogadishu Times. Again, you could not make this up, no one would believe it.
In 2011, then-Congressman Keith Ellison—now Minnesota’s Attorney General admitted that “there is no control at all” when discussing what would happen once the banks stopped working with the hawalas.

At the end of this clip, Ellison says, “The discussion focused on how we can keep money flowing to Somalia.” Watch:
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.

Doesn’t that kind of say it all?
