Here Is The EXACT U.S. Code Section We Can Use To ARREST Gov. Tim Walz!

[Conservative Angle]

​

Would you like to see MN Gov. Tim Walz arrested?

In prison?

Prosecuted for Treason?

Well, I have good news for you….

The law to do such a thing is already on the books and we just need to follow it.

That’s not just my opinion, Elon Musk just gave it his seal of approval earlier today.

It’s 18 U.S.C. 666, what an interesting number, and seemingly very aptly fitting!

But we do our homework around here and we don’t take anything posted online at face value, even if it comes from Elon Musk.

So now allow me to back up these claims with real research.

Analysis: Can this statute be used to arrest state governors for misuse of federal funds?

Yes, in principle, it can be used if the specific elements of the crime are met.

• 
  Broad Definition of Agent: The statute explicitly applies to agents of a State government (not just agencies), and the definition of “agent” in subsection (d)(1) is broad: it includes officers, employees, directors, managers, representatives, etc., authorized to act on behalf of the government.
  
• 
  Governor Status: A state governor is the chief executive officer of the state and clearly qualifies as an “agent” of the state government under this definition.
  
• 
  Federal Funding Threshold: All U.S. states receive far more than $10,000 annually in federal funds (via grants, highway funds, Medicaid, etc.), satisfying subsection (b).
  
• 
  Scope of Property: The prohibited conduct includes intentionally misapplying property valued at $5,000 or more that is owned by or under the care/custody/control of the state (subsection (a)(1)(A)). Importantly, the property does not need to be federal funds themselves—misuse of any state-controlled property qualifies as long as the state receives the requisite federal benefits.
  
• 
  Closing Legal Gaps: This statute was enacted to close gaps in federal law and allow prosecution of corruption/theft in federally funded programs at the state and local level, even without tracing misuse directly to federal dollars.
  
• 
  Jurisdiction and Application: Federal prosecutors (via the DOJ/FBI) have jurisdiction over violations of this statute, and it has been used against high-level state and local officials for corruption or theft involving entities receiving federal funds. While no widely known cases directly involve a sitting governor under § 666 specifically, the statutory language and legal interpretations (including DOJ guidance and court rulings) support its applicability to governors or similarly positioned elected officials if they personally engage in the prohibited acts.
  
• 
  Practical Considerations: In practice, such cases would require strong evidence of criminal intent, and prosecutions of governors are rare due to political sensitivities, but the law itself permits it for qualifying “misuse.”
  

And I also want to post the full text of the statute so you have it handy.

Not my summary or interpretation of it, just the full text:
