(ST. PAUL, Minn.) — 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 Ellison.

“An allegation standing alone is not necessarily sufficient to conclude that conduct occurred, particularly where the accusing party declines to produce supporting evidence that she herself asserts exists,” Ellingstad wrote. “She has thus repeatedly placed the existence of the video front and center to her allegations, but then has refused to disclose it.”

Note that this abuse by Ellison occurred recently, but the fabricated claims against Judge Kavanaugh were from almost 40 years ago.

The Democrats say, “An allegation standing alone is not necessarily sufficient to conclude that conduct occurred, particularly where the accusing party declines to produce supporting evidence that she herself asserts exists.”

A lawyer from a democrat firm hired by the democrats says you need video proof or it didn’t happen. Got it.

[Secret Agent Man]

Umm, ok, so a woman who actually filed police reports at the time incidents occurred, HER the demtards don’t stand by.

Hypocrisy, thy name is Democrat.

Say what?

[southernindymom]

So the dems get to investigate themselves and we are supposed to just accept that? BS

[CaptainMorgantown]

Well if a Democratic lawyer has investigated it and said that nothing happened, I guess we all need to just walk away and forget the acusation was ever made. /sarc

[high info voter]

Dems investigating a Dem....... PRICELESS!!!

[Chode]

[dforest]

I believe the FBI needs to investigate this woman’s claims about Ellison.

What can we expect from Minnesomalia?

[Bonemaker]

“The report was compiled by Susan Ellingstad...”

Dumb Swede.

[Kenny Bania]

because she refused to provide video she said she had of the incident

Threatened or paid off?

[piasa]

Refused to provide whom the video?

I don’t think she’s obligated to provide it to anyone but her attorney and he to the court until they’re ready to press charges.

[originalbuckeye]

Ya know, the Obama Admin was NEVER able to find any wrongdoing on their part, every time they investigated themselves either! I know you all find that unbelievable......./s

[Crucial]

Yeah right.

[blueplum]

CBF couldn’t provide any evidence, either. But that didn’t stop the Dems from running BK’s name into the mud.

We need a FBI investigation of Ellison.

[cranked]

The utter stench from this hypocrisy is enough to kill a herd of African elephants immediately.

[I want the USA back]

Anyone who believes anything a democrat says is stupid.
