About Those Pigford Anti-Fraud Provisions

A quick Google search will tell you that Congressman Sanford Bishop (D-GA) knows all about Pigford fraud, confirming what black farmers have said on video.

And today I spoke to a third farmer who was also at the same meeting with Willie Head and Eddie Slaughter who confirmed their statement that Sanford Bishop was informed about fraud and lawyer fees but didn’t want an investigation into Pigford because it would “shut it down.”

But Bishop says there are anti-fraud provisions in Pigford II that will provide a safeguard against abuse. Fair enough. I just want to throw this question out there, however:

Would the anti-fraud provisions be effective if there are people out there who are giving classes that teach in step-by-step detail how to commit perjury in the Pigford case and not get caught?
