Call me cynical, but I figure in our post-truth world, faith depends on the tribe you belong to, not "transparent investigation". To me, this is yet another episode of one side screaming "conspiracy" and the other side screaming "conspiracy to create a conspiracy" in order to drive clicks on both sides. The actual truth will likely never be publicly known or acknowledged.

Or the more than 42K NGOs getting billions of dollars in Minnesota alone are not legitimate and this will just be the tip of the iceberg.

Ilhan Omar has a $174K salary, and she went from nearly broke to having a net worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $30 million in the space of six years... and her only "work" is the Senate? This is an amazing rags-to-riches story! Journalists should be knocking down her door to discuss it. But it's "not news," right?

There's a whole lot of something there.

You miss my point. I have no idea whether or not something is there and can't be bothered to look into it as, to me, even if it's true, it's just a drop in a planetary ocean of incompetence, fraud, waste, and abuse.

The reality is that the perception of "truth" (whether this is something or there isn't) is going to highly dependent on which tribe you're in. That is, if you're republican, the fraud will be obvious and if you're democrat, it's obvious that even if there is some fraud, it is blown out of proportion.

As we have seen time and time again, whether there will be repercussions will be dependent in who is in power.
