Daily Caller: Two weeks after the Democratic National Committee (DNC) announced a review of domestic abuse allegations against Minnesota Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison, the public still has scant information about the probe.
The DNC has offered no details on who exactly is running the probe, what evidence they have uncovered or when they expect to have enough information to either affirm or withdraw their support for Ellison.
Ellison, the deputy chair of the DNC and Democratic nominee for Minnesota attorney general, is accused of physically and emotionally abusing his ex-girlfriend, liberal Sierra Club activist Karen Monahan.
The DNC announced Aug. 14 that it was “reviewing” the allegations against Ellison.
All domestic abuse allegations, the DNC said at the time, are “disturbing” and “should be taken seriously.”
That statement, a two-sentence missive to NPR, broke a 72-hour DNC silence on the Ellison allegations from the time they first surfaced.
The next day, Aug. 15, DNC chair Tom Perez seemed sure the Ellison allegations won’t hurt Democrats in November but insisted the DNC is “absolutely taking a careful look” at them.
Nine days after the DNC first said it was “reviewing” the Ellison allegations, Aug. 23, Perez still lacked specific details about the investigation into his deputy chair.
He insisted to CBS News that the DNC takes domestic abuse allegations “very, very seriously,” adding: “that’s why the matter is under review.”
When asked about the DNC’s internal discussions on Ellison, Perez again stated that the “matter was under review,” but this time deferred to the state-level party’s investigation, instead of the DNC’s own probe.
Perez said the party’s Minnesota affiliate, the Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) Party, “is conducting a very thorough investigation and a very prompt investigation and I’m very confident that review will be completed in the near future.” more here
They’re investigating Ellison like they investigated their “hacked” server. Ellison will end up as free and clear as Imran Awan.
Off topic: Looking at the primary voting results – especially in FL where the Dem primary candidate for governor – an ignorant and failed socialist leftist similar to the NYC twit won – it looks to me like the Dems AREN’T turning out. The only part of the Dem base that’s energized is the small, left wingers which is why that group has a shot.
Maybe the moderate Dems are happy with what Trump is doing and see no reason to oppose him?
At any rate, I think the election for governor here in FL will be a walk-over. I cannot imagine anyone but a lunatic leftist voting for the Dem candidate over DeSantis. With Rick Scott on the ballot as Senator over Dem Bill Nelson, it looks like this is an easy pick up of a Republican senate seat, too.
It’s being held out on the golf course with OJ looking for the real killer and the tireless efforts to find Seth Rich’s mugger.
Truth be told, the woman he is alleged to have abused is nowhere either so this must be the phase of the negotiation where they are thinking of a number to pay her to shut up.
The media is, of course, doing their part to flush the ordeal down the memory hole.
Why, if we let the public know that Democrats beat their wives and girlfriends then it will damage the #MeToo movement and other women will be afraid to speak out.

Re: FL primary.
DeSantis v Gillum “should” be a cakewalk, but Steyer, Soros, and Bernie PAC poured a ton of money into FL just for the primary. Imagine what they’ll invest for Nov + voter fraud.
Gillum has been under FBI investigation. Oh the irony!

Omerta.
Must have been wiped with a cloth soaked in BleachBit.
He was just campaigning in my hometown. I was glad to see that all the comments in the paper were against him.
He would be as lawless as an AG as Eric Holder (Howard Sprague’s evil twin) was.
Different rules for Dems. Especially black muslime dems

I wonder how Florida seniors feel about “Medicare for all”? I would think they would see what that really means – 1/4 medicare for all
The media is too busy mourning dear old Juan McCain this week, check back in a couple of months when it’s a non-story and the MSM declares it’s time to move on.
Following same MO as Catholic Church.
What happened to the police investigation of Ellison??? That’s the only investigation I care about.
The DNC takes domestic abuse allegations very, very seriously… until everyone stops asking about them!
Seriously trying to bury the story, maybe.
Swept under the prayer rug.
They’re using the old Hillary play:
– Ignore the problem for a few months
– After a few months declare the problem old news that’s been settled
An investigation into Keith Ellison’s domestic abuse? Dude that is ancient history. While you are at it look into the discretionary funds Marcus Anthony used while the 10th Legion were fighting the Gauls. I think we can get Julius on mismanagement of funds. /sarcasm off
Nothing, sadly, will come of this; we can always hope it will be enough for him to lose the election over but I’m not holding my breath.
The FBI is looking into Ellison he is just not aware of it charges will be brought within 30 day,s I know because I am one of the agents oing this
