I don’t think Ellison is smart enough to have researched the history of the Sale translation before deciding to use it at his swearing in.

He was more interested in scoring political points with dumocrats by using “the Koran of a Founding Father” than in finding out what the book actually contained.

Obviously. People at the archives had to know, but probably wouldn't tell him. If he'd read it, just the forward, he'd have known. But if I recall it's pretty long.
