In his declaration in the lawsuit, fired IG Larry Turner says he was chasing down another $135B in unemployment fraud leftover from COVID.

So ~$200B that SBA IG was working on and $135 that Turner was.

A week before my purported termination at DOL IG, the Wall Street Journal ran an article commending my team and me on the great work we were combatting unemployment insurance fraud. It also mentioned the need to extend the statute of limitations. The article highlighted a U.S. Government Accountability Office report, estimating that $135 billion in funds had been stolen from the unemployment insurance program in a two-year span. Time is Running Out to Recover Up to $135 Billion in Pilfered Jobless Benefits, Wall St. J. (Jan. 16, 2025)

We need more true patriots like Danielle Sassoon to speak out. And a bunch on the bench to hear and agree. If even a Scalia acolyte can see it, that’s saying something.

“I could’ve written about any number of the important rule-of-law and ethics questions arising out of the Adams/Bove affair. But the *real* issue to which I’ll dedicate my time is that Danielle Sassoon invoked her Scalia clerkship in her letter to the Attorney General.”
