DFLers are of the opinion that Keith Ellison is a legal giant compared to challenger Jiim Schultz. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s an example from a repeat Point Chanter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The truth is, Ellison was a very junior litigator for three whole years<\/a>, before becoming a “community organizer”, non-profiteer and politician. Ellison was a very <\/em>junior attorney, when he was an attorney at all. Schulz has vastly <\/em>more experience – and when you’re talking becoming an attorney general as opposed to a courtroom practitioner, the type of law isn’t especially relevant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And “he” didn’t prosecute Chauvin. Either, for the most part, did the Attorney General’s very thinly-staffed criminal division. The list of the prosecution team<\/a> includes lots of free-lance Biglaw attorneys, lawyers from social justicelaw firms working “pro bono”, Henco prosecutors (apparently some of them do something other than write wrist-slapping pro forma<\/em> plea agreements – who knew?) and pretty much everyone at the AGO who had ever closed a case against a traffic offender. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schulz has actually practiced law<\/em> his entire career, unlike life-long trough-diner Ellison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glad we could clear that up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
