More PPP Fraud? (UPDATE)

The guilty will be punished?

• Cook County’s chief judge announced more than a year ago that he’d hired a Los Angeles law firm to investigate staffers who’d gotten federal Paycheck Protection Program COVID-19 relief loans to make sure they were legitimate.

  Chief Judge Timothy Evans sent a letter to Cook County’s 2,700 court support employees, saying the investigation would take about two months. That was in late 2022. A spokeswoman for Evans says the investigation remains “ongoing” and won’t discuss what the firm has found or the cost of the effort.

  But county payroll records and other public documents show nine of Evans’ highest-paid staff members have left his office this year between April and October, and their names match those of recipients of government-backed, forgivable PPP loans from a program that federal officials have acknowledged was rife with fraud.

They'll be held to account, right?

• None of Evans’ employees appears to have been charged with any crime in connection with the loans.

  Declining an interview request with Evans, his spokeswoman Mary Wisniewski says she won’t answer any questions about the employees or the PPP investigation, citing an “ongoing investigation.”

The "continuing investigation" schtick is the latest political trick for covering up wrongdoing. Once you hear about it, you can't unsee it.....and you'll see it everywhere. They'll make that statement, then ignore it for a few months until the heat dies down. By then, the guilty will have resigned or been reassigned and since there weren't any charges, they'll never release the names.

The feebs did it all through the Hunter Biden investigation and continue doing it for the rest of president roomba's criminal connections.

UPDATE: Bingo! Someone just commented that the "continuing investigations" BS.....Sox Park shooting anyone? We all know who had the gun, how they got it past security, etc., but no names for a suburban dwelling CPS teacher.

We're sure there will be further examples.
