It seems people in this thread are getting downvoted for pointing out that your questions are reasonable. There's a lot of disputes between state and federal authorities about this. The 9B figure is being disputed, and there's a lot of claims that the state has been kept in the dark about it intentionally, with claims that MN GOP House members on fraud investigation committees have been purposely withholding information from the state, forwarding their information instead to federal prosecutors. These House members don't seem to deny this: https://kstp.com/kstp-news/top-news/house-fraud-committee-withholding-whistleblower-tips-from-dhs-investigators/ https://kstp.com/kstp-news/top-news/house-fraud-committee-wi... https://www.startribune.com/walz-says-theres-no-evidence-of-9b-in-fraud-exposing-rift-between-state-and-feds/601549681 https://www.startribune.com/walz-says-theres-no-evidence-of-... I'm not sure people are really disputing that the fraud happened. I think there are disagreements about the scope of it and about the way in which the investigation has been happening, and the motives for the way in which it has happened. Here's the whistleblower portal they set up earlier this year for example: https://mnhouserepublicans.com/whistleblower-portal/ https://mnhouserepublicans.com/whistleblower-portal/ They then forwarded tips to the federal DOJ and not the state. So are they picking on MN? I don't think the fraud, to the extent it is there, is them picking on them. The way in which this has unfolded might be.
