Democrats’ ‘Independent’ Keith Ellison Investigation Handled By Their Own Lawyer’s Partner

Daily Caller: Minnesota Democrats’ self-described “independent” investigation into domestic abuse allegations against Rep. Keith Ellison is being handled by the party attorney’s legal partner.

Ellison, the deputy chair of the Democratic National Committee and nominee for Minnesota attorney general, is accused of physically and emotionally abusing his ex-girlfriend, liberal Sierra Club activist Karen Monahan. Ellison has repeatedly denied Monahan’s accusations.

Minneapolis lawyer Susan Ellingstad took over the Ellison investigation from the state party’s attorney following Ellison’s primary victory in August, the Associated Press reported Tuesday.

Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party Chairman Ken Martin told the AP they hired Ellingstad to make sure the investigation “wouldn’t be colored by people with associations with the party.”

Ellingstad is a legal partner with the state party’s attorney, Charlie Nauen, who the AP reported handled the early stages of the investigation. Ellingstad and Nauen are partners at Lockridge Grindal Nauen P.L.L.P., which bears the DFL attorney’s name.

Another Lockridge partner, David Zoll, represented Martin and the DFL in their unsuccessful bid to get then-candidate Donald Trump thrown off of the state ballot in 2016, court documents show. Zoll worked with powerhouse Democratic law firm Perkins Coie L.L.P. on the case.  MORE HERE

  1. Despite all the evidence regarding his domestic violence and his political radicalism the voters of Minn. are still voting for this lowlife scum is what is most troubling.
    There’s a whole lot of stupid people out there.

  2. Our investigation has found that Mr. Ellison did not engage in domestic abuse against Ms. Monahan, that Mr. Ellison and Ms. Monahan were never domestic partners, that Ms. Monahan does not even exist, and that Hillary Clinton is the President of the United States. You can trust us because we are trustworthy.
