Democrats taking to the airwaves to denounce Judge Brett Kavanaugh have been considerably less focused on their own abuse investigation into Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison.
The Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party said a month ago it would investigate after a former girlfriend accused Mr. Ellison of emotional and physical abuse, but since then the party has said nothing as the probe fades largely from view.
Thats undoubtedly by design, said Larry Jacobs, professor at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota, who characterized the investigation as an exercise in damage control aimed at providing the party with political cover if more allegations erupt.
I think of this not as an investigation to uncover facts and make a public release that would hurt the Democratic Party before the election, Mr. Jacobs said. Thats not what this is. This is closer to political insurance in case there are revelations that become a kind of October surprise for Ellison and then hurt the entire DFL ticket.

...until after the midterms, right?
The Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee want to send in the FBI. Oh, wait a minute, it’s something else they want the FBI to investigate. Never mind.
There is the stench of hypocrisy...Democrats seeking to crucify Kavannaugh on 36 year old “spectral evidence” while ignoring hard evidence of Ellison’s abuse.
