APNewsBreak: Attorney: Ellison abuse claim unsubstantiated


Source: AP News

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — An ex-girlfriend’s allegation that Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison once physically abused her could not be substantiated because she refused to provide video she said she had of the incident, an attorney hired to investigate the claims concluded in a draft report obtained Monday by The Associated Press.

The report was compiled by Susan Ellingstad, a lawyer hired by Minnesota’s Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party to investigate the allegation against the Democratic congressman. Ellison, also deputy chairman of the Democratic National Committee, has denied the allegations.

Karen Monahan alleged in August that Ellison dragged her off a bed by her feet while screaming obscenities at her in 2016. Monahan said she had video footage of the incident. She levied the allegation just days ahead of a crowded Democratic primary for Minnesota attorney general that Ellison went on to win.

The state’s Democratic party launched an investigation into the claim.
Democratic party chairman Ken Martin said last week he expected the investigation to conclude soon.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...HAHAHAHAHAHA

When a democrat is accused, video proof is required.

I'm sure that the state’s Democratic party is running an unbiased investigation.

4. Where is the evidence against Ellison?

He said she said won't stand up in any court of law.
I have a friend who was being abused by her husband, but without evidence she was powerless. Then one day he threw a metal object at her in a rage. She called police and now has solid evidence to get a divorce on favorable terms.
There's a heck of a lot more evidence against Ellison than there is against Kavanaugh. 

An election isn't a court of law, more like a job interview.

Where is Christine Blasey Ford's videotape of Kavanaugh?  Without one, her claims cannot be substantiated

Oh my yes.  It's the difference between "a lot of things" and.....zero.

Absolutely unbelievable they can hold the same conversation about 2 different people and arrive at completely different outcomes and somehow justify it.

DUpipo would be great subjects for a study of cognitive dissonance, but for their lack of means of cognition.

The differences between the two cases are stark.

Rich republican white guy = quilty

Poor democrat black muslum = the biotch is lying, not guilty.

Doublethink from 1984. Doublethink is the ability to hold two completely contradictory positions yet believe each is true.

   I'm sure Ellison followed all the tenets of Sharia Law when he beat his wife. ie: what you can beat her for and where you allowed to strike her.

Lawyer who cleared Ellison of domestic abuse allegations is partner at firm that donated $500G to Dems.

Anyone else as shocked as me? 

I didn't think so.

And Kavanaugh isn't really rich.  Solidly upper middle class, sure.

He only beat the crap out of her. It wasn't like he locked her in a room and tried to take her clothes off then let her out of the room. And he was sober too so that makes it O-Tay!
