Last week, the Pioneer Press<\/em> did a comical dive into the shallow end of the journalism pool, digging up – Sorry, no. They “dug” nothing up about Doug Wardlow’s purported junior high days.\u00a0 \u00a0A DFL operative spent weeks shopping the story to every local news outlet.\u00a0 Only the increasingly loathsome\u00a0PiPress\u00a0<\/em>would take it.<\/p>\n

But while the Twin Cities media digs back a couple of decades to find dirt to prop up the increasingly unviable Ellison campaign, the rich journalistic vein that is Keith Ellison’s past remains untapped.<\/p>\n

Which is why we had these things called “blogs” 15 years ago.<\/p>\n

Thanksfully, some have kept the faith.\u00a0 Over at Powerline, Scott Johnson just keeps\u00a0 shining the light down the memory hole<\/a>\u00a0– in this case, to 25 years ago, after the murder of Minneapolis police officer Jerry Haaf:<\/p>\n

Ellison publicly supported the Haaf murder defendants. In February 1993, he spoke at a demonstration for one of them during his trial. Ellison led the crowd assembled at the courthouse in a chant that was ominous in the context of Haaf\u2019s cold-blooded murder: \u201cWe don\u2019t get no justice, you don\u2019t get no peace.\u201d Ellison\u2019s working relationship with Sharif Willis finally came to an end in February 1995, when Willis was convicted in federal court on several counts of drug and gun-related crimes and sent back to prison for 20 years.<\/p>\n

Now Keith Ellison seeks Minnesota\u2019s top law enforcement job. In the video below, Doug Wardlow does the job that the Pioneer Press and the Star Tribune refuse to do. He tells the highly relevant truth about Keith Ellison.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oh, there’s more.<\/p>\n
