Attorney for Keith Ellison asks judge to keep divorce records closed

An attorney representing U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison has asked a judge to deny motions by the Star Tribune and Alpha News to unseal his 2012 divorce proceedings, instead suggesting that the judge privately review the file and unseal any records that refer to allegations of abuse.

Last month, the Star Tribune joined a legal effort to unseal the divorce records, following a similar action by a right-leaning online news and opinion site. The efforts follow allegations by Ellison’s ex-girlfriend, Karen Monahan, that the Democratic candidate for attorney general tried to drag her off a bed during an argument in 2016. He denies the allegation and an attorney hired by the DFL Party to investigate the claim could not substantiate it after Monahan refused to share a video of the incident that she has said she recorded.

Attorney Carla Kjellberg wrote in a memo to a Hennepin County judge on Thursday that the records should not be unsealed because of concerns for the privacy of Ellison and his ex-wife, Kim Ellison, their safety and pending court matters.

“Nation of Islam” is scarcely recognized by the Middle Eastern variety, and they are just useful idiots for the Al Quaeda and ISIS crowd, who consider them to be dhimmi, only marginally better in their eyes than kufir, the infidels and unbelievers.

Keith Ellison only practices the parts of “Islam” that reinforce the stereotype of masculine superiority, all women are inferiors. The Democrats are very supportive of this “dedication” to the “principles” of Islam.

Treat him just like Obama treated Jack Ryan.

It is arguably pertinent to new charges. Much more so than with Paul Ryan. (My name memory sucks, so may be wrong name.)
