ICE shooting in Minneapolis: Attorney explains how presumed innocence has been ignored again
Chris Madel, a prominent defense attorney who won a high-profile case for Trooper Ryan Londregan, explains how once again politicians are ignoring the facts and the presumption of innocence with the shooting involving an ICE agent in Minneapolis.
Madel joined Liz Collin on her podcast. He also represents Alpha News and is a republican running for governor of Minnesota.
In talking about the constitutional guarantees afforded to all U.S. citizens, Madel explained, "This is one of the things that makes America so great. We don't just put these things in words on paper. We actually follow them. We actually believe in them.”
But he also cautioned that "when our elected leaders don't do that … they just follow the pitchforks and the torches."

Honored to speak at the Minnesota South Central Investigators’ Coalition conference yesterday! We all must Back the Blue.

Honored to defend @AlphaNews again from a meritless threat of defamation. Time and time again, we see special interests and the political establishment attempt to silence the truth. Not on my watch…Moreover, I am ready, willing, and able to use the law to ferret out another fraud committed on Minnesota taxpayers. If anyone wants to sue Alpha News (or any other journalist for that matter) for exposing fraud, my response can be found in three words: Bring. It. On.

" ... I would love to delve into discovery of your client's 'business' to show exactly what is transpiring within it. I am ready, willing, and able to use the law to ferret out another fraud committed on Minnesota taxpayers," attorney Chris Madel wrote in response.

Replying to @MadelForGov
FYI, any Republican who has to resort to name-calling is trying to distract you from the simple truth: Both parties’ leadership is at fault for Minnesota's fraud problem, and they have no substantive response to that immutable fact.
Madel for Governor retweeted
No, but I will continue to highlight the hypocrisy of all (Democrats and Republicans) who claim to have done anything about combatting Minnesota fraud since 2018. But thanks for noticing!

About half or more of the roughly $18 billion in claims paid out by Medicaid to Minnesota-run programs may have been fraudulent, and at least 14 programs were likely exploited, a federal prosecutor said Thursday.

Kudos to my friend and First Assistant U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson for doing the hard work of prosecuting fraudsters that operated for years under @GovTimWalz at the cost of $$$BILLIONS to taxpayers
Madel for Governor retweeted
Disastrous @GovTimWalz proves the truth behind Friedman’s wisdom on four ways to spend money. The wasted $$$BILLIONS wasn’t Walz's money so he didn’t care about MN taxpayers being defrauded. His admin actively punished state workers trying to stop the fraud.
Milton Friedman on 4 ways to spend money:
1) Your money on yourself (you’re careful about both cost and quality)
2) Your money on others (you care about cost, less about quality)
3) Someone else’s money on yourself (you care about quality, not cost)
4) Someone else’s money on others (you care about neither)
The last one is how government spending works 🚨

Change is coming.

Walz and other elected leaders should have prevented and stopped the fraud years ago. They failed us. It's time for change.

Time and time again, "the DFL struggles to understand the Constitution.” Amen @jeremymunson!
@MadelForGov @mngop
Evidently, the @MinnesotaDFL no longer believes people are innocent until proven guilty or that everyone deserves a defense and has a right to counsel. These are key principles to a free society, yet the DFL has taken to attacking people who work to defend everyone's liberty and rights.
It seems the party thinks if the government charges you with a crime, you are guilty of the crime because we all know the government never gets it wrong, overreaches or steps on anyone's rights?!? The DFL has always been the party of big government control and spending, but they are now taking it to a whole new level by attacking people's right to defend themselves.
I saw similar attacks on @TaylerRahmLaw last year and now @CWMadel - @MadelForGov. The DFL struggles to understand the Constitution. If you are a Democrat, how do you defend your party's attack on a Defense Attorney, tying them to the people who sought counsel for their defense? Do you really want to live in a country where people don't have the right to an attorney because we've allowed a culture where attorneys are being smeared for providing a defense to a class of people?

Hey @MinnesotaDFL and @richardcarlbom, care to comment?
Most of my cases are civil, but I do take some criminal cases because I believe in the constitutional right to representation. As a lawyer, I view it as my duty.
The last thing I want is an apology from the @MinnesotaDFL, but they do owe an apology to the many others who protect people's rights and defend the constitution.

As an example of Walz and other elected officials failing to stop fraud, check out this Fox9 article from 2018. "For five months, Fox 9 has been investigating what appears to be rampant fraud in a massive state program. This fraud is suspected of costing Minnesota taxpayers as much as $100 million a year."
Many elected officials at the state level have been in office since then but have done NOTHING to stop it. But all of a sudden NOW they are going to fix it? Give me a break. Simply put, our elected officials have failed us.
It’s time for change.

Kudos to @andybrehm for capturing what people in MN are feeling: "I continue to believe Minnesota is a terrific place...But our state government is inarguably broken. And there is urgent & serious heavy lifting to be done to restore it to a condition of competency & integrity."
Enough is enough: Minnesotans must deny @Tim_Walz a third term. The state is a mess with him at the helm. My thoughts in @StarTribune. startribune.com/mn-fraud-sca…

The legislature did not end the deficit and we are now spending even more than before relative to what we bring in. Further, Walz and the Democrats pushed spending into the future and passed costs onto our counties, causing property taxes to rise and worsening how much we spend vs. how much we take in.
There are two options from here - real reform by dramatically reducing spending, or more of the same by doing nothing but raise taxes. I know which route I'll take as governor.
