Fudge didn't get to be Minister until *after* Crouch had been 
discredited, his  son was found out and his wife and son had 
"died". Sirius, in GoF ch 27 p529," ..so Cornelius Fudge got the 
top job." There were already Dementors at the Pensieve trials, 
bringing people from Azkaban,  so they were already there when 
Fudge took over. I think Dumbledore's words are only to convince 
Fudge that he'll be held responsible, as the politician who "lost" 
Azkaban, if the Dementors defect.

No good. Voldemort's wand killed Bertha Jorkins and Frank 
Bryce *before* young Crouch was rescued. The best I can figure 
is that hysterical Sirius broke his own wand, Pettigrew destroyed 
or vanished his (as any murderer would dispose of the weapon), 
and that Voldemort's wand was found at Godric's Hollow by the 
Ministry and  later recovered by Pettigrew, who left a fake wand in 
its place.
