Will Peggy Flanagan continue representing fraudsters?

You can tell quite a bit by the company you keep. In Peggy Flanagan's case, it can be a disqualifier for office. Alpha News reports "As Minnesota’s Department of Human Services struggles to contain a sweeping fraud crisis involving taxpayer-funded programs, one of the state’s top Medicaid officials has another undertaking on his calendar: helping raise campaign cash for Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan. Dr. Nathan Chomilo serves as medical director for Minnesota’s Medicaid and MinnesotaCare programs, which are now under intense state and federal oversight amid a multibillion-dollar fraud crisis that has unfolded during the Walz-Flanagan administration."

According to the article, "on Oct. 1, the money on Chomilo’s agenda won’t be Medicaid dollars. It will be campaign cash for Flanagan. Chomilo is listed as one of six hosts of the Oct. 1 Minneapolis fundraiser for Flanagan’s U.S. Senate campaign."

Why shouldn't people of all political persuasions think that this isn't a continuation of her helping fraudsters? Along with Gov. Walz, AG Keith Ellison, DHS Commissioners Harpstead and Ghandi, Flanagan has turned a blind eye toward Medicaid fraud. This report does a nice job laying out what's happened with Minnesota's Department of Human Services:

Nothing says corruption like a member of upper management that's under investigation hosting a fundraiser for a politician who might turn into this man's regulator. In some states, the worry is that familial relationships might turn incestuous. In the DFL, the worry is that political relationships might turn into strange bedfellows.

Finally, this fundraiser is being held on Oct. 1, the day before the KSTP debates for governor, U.S. Senator and MN Attorney General. What are the odds that Peggy Flanagan, the DFL nominee for U.S. Senator, won't show up Friday? The DFL, whether it's a senator or a Lt. Gov. or an AG, are tied up with fraud. It's the Minnesota way:
