WaTimes: Minnesota Democrats met with plenty of skepticism Monday after a party-led investigation into domestic-abuse allegations against Democrat Rep. Keith Ellison concluded that the claims were “unsubstantiated.”
Susan Ellingstad, a Minneapolis attorney hired by the Minnesota Democrat-Farmer-Labor Party, said her internal investigation was “unable to substantiate the claim of physical abuse” made by Karen Monahan, Mr. Ellison’s ex-girlfriend, according to the report leaked to the Associated Press.
Minnesota DFL chairman Ken Martin said in a statement afterward to media outlets that the party would forward the 15-page report to local authorities “to let them review the contents and determine whether further investigation is warranted.”
His decision did little to squelch perceptions that the probe was hopelessly conflicted, given that Ms. Ellingstad is a law partner of DFL attorney Charlie Nauen, and Mr. Ellison serves as deputy chairman of the Democratic National Committee.
“I don’t know why anyone would be surprised by that. The Democratic Party hires lawyers close to the Democratic Party to investigate a sensitive candidate, and they come back saying ‘not enough here,’” said University of Minnesota political science professor Larry Jacobs. “I don’t think that was surprising.”
“We investigated ourselves and found no evidence of wrongdoing.”
Taking their cue from the “policeman shoots unarmed citizen” protocol, I see.
This woman has said she has a video. Why in the heck does she not release it? And another thing, what is she doing being with a muslim. They like beating their women.
The duplicity is blinding ! 💩
As I understand it, there are photos and a police report. But they can’t find any support for the allegations. But they know Kavanaugh is guilty without anything but a hand maids tale. No double standard here. Move along now.
Democratic political tactics are the shifts.
Unsubstantiated but credible. Right?
Kinda like Feinstein’s “investigation” of her staffers about leaking Ms. Lousy Fraud’s letter. (looks over her shoulder, then looks back at Cornyn) “No. The answer’s no. I just asked them.”
Trump should employ Karen Monahan to speak at rallies with him.
As a Muslim, what he did was not abuse.
It is required.
