Traci Kornak, the former treasurer of the Michigan Democratic Party, was hauled into probate court this week, suspected of embezzling from her ward, a brain-damaged elderly woman.

I caught Kornak feasting on the woman’s finances nearly four years ago and have written many stories about it since. I’ve made TV appearances. I even lost my newspaper job over it.

After my first story was published, Attorney General Dana Nessel, a close friend of Kornak, opened a superficial investigation that was no investigation at all. 

Her detectives made a few cursory phone calls before Nessel prodded them into shutting down the criminal case. Just like that.

Not only did Clearwater agree to Maul’s request, she also ruled that Kornak—a slip-and-fall attorney by trade—must pay for Maul’s time.

Kornak, for her part, said nothing in defense of herself.

Huh? I must have lived a sheltered life...

How unsurprising it is that “Nazi” Nessel is in the middle of this...

I was wondering the other day why Governor Shinyface and Nazi Nessel aren’t involved in the Democrap insurrection.

Are they more worried about sliding “Dirty Josey” Benson into the governor’s mansion in Michigan?
