Did Bernardine Dohrn Mentor Michelle [Robinson] Obama at Chicago Law Firm?

The media has been very gentle on Michelle Obama, but one blogger asks a very interesting question about Bernardine Dohrn’s possible mentoring of Michelle at Sidley Austin in Chicago, where Dohrn worked as a paralegal [her felony conviction meant she couldn’t pass the Illinois bar exam] while Michelle was an intern during summers while in law school. Michelle was later taken into the prestigious firm when she graduated from Harvard Law. Michelle in turn mentored Obama in ‘89 & they eventually married.
The MSM will never ask any questions about Dohrn & Michelle [Robinson] Obama intersecting at Sidley Austin. It would be nice if Republicans had more investigative reporters because my inquiring mind would like to know.
It might be that the Ayers-Dohrn relationship with the Obamas goes back earlier and the relationship could be much more extensive than previously reported.

Law professor Steve Diamond has speculated that Obama knew Ayers and Dohrn much earlier that he admits. He wonders whether it was Dohrn (or Ayers) who hooked him up with the Sidley Austin law firm, where he did an internship and met Michelle. Dohrn was supposedly working there at the time, at the behest of Ayers father, the firms biggest customer.
I dont know the answer but you have to admit that it seems odd that Obama worked at the same law firm as Dohrn in 1988 yet claims not to have met Ayers until much later.
Another interesting point that rarely gets mentioned: Michelle Obama is the one who invited Bill Ayers to the symposium at the University of Chicago. She was employed there at the time.
