She's in Big Trouble ... right?

   Several have commented, some with understandable glee, about the fine
   mess our Attorney General has gotten herself into. For the Office of
   the Legislative Auditor is on the case whose sterling reputation the
   DFL dares not challenge. If the OLA report comes out as we think it
   should, she's in big trouble, right?
   She would be if she were a Republican, for enough Republican votes
   would be there for impeachment if necessary. But she's a Democrat, a
   very liberal Democrat at that. And being a liberal means never having
   to say you're sorry.
   Short of any finding of a major felony, she'll be given a slap on the
   wrist at best. She will "welcome" the assessment and promise
   departmental changes to address the points raised. Party insiders will
   coach her on how to properly deal with them, something a truly
   qualified AG candidate should already know.
   Barring something unexpected like embezzlement, she is very, very
   safe.
