Klobuchar's opportunity.

[qwlauren35]

If ever she wanted the VP position, if ever she wanted the black vote, she should stand up and say something about this situation.

[Merlot]

1. To late to fix her record with a few words

[still_one]

3. I agree

[geardaddy]

4. Yep, too late.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. I don't think she ever did have much of a shot at it.

[Budi]

9. Agree. She may have been on the long list for unity sake, but not in the top 2/3

*

[MineralMan]

5. She's out of the running.

[malaise]

13. She's coming up on Andrea Mitchell whenever this press conference ends n/t

[Celerity]

6. she is not going to be the VP, zero chance, BUT she still needs to stand up and say something

[Budi]

7. Perhaps tell what actually occurred. Not that any Dem haters give a shit about her truth.

They've run with the narrative as they did with Reade..etc

I'd really like to hear her story of how her time as prosecutor came to cross paths with this moment in time.

Just for truth's sake.

[BannonsLiver]

17. You can feel the contempt for her in this thread by Democrats

It’s not just the GOP and purity left. I don’t personally agree with that, but here we are.

[Laelth]

8. She should definitely say something, regardless of her political ambitions. n/t

-Laelth

[Budi]

10. I read a statement late last night that she sent this case to a GJ & that is when he was cleared.

I don't know the real truth, one way or the other.
Just throwing this out to somewhat even the playing field.

Until we hear from Sen Klobuchar herself, all we have is what 'some people say'.

[DURHAM D]

11. jftr -

The investigation that ended with no charges against Chauvin concluded after Klobuchar had left the county prosecutor post for the U.S. Senate

[Budi]

14. So she wasn't on the case at it's conclusion?

I hope she addresses it for clarification.

[Bettie]

12. She should speak up about this

in any case. Regardless of her ambitions to be VP or not, she should be speaking out about this.

[BannonsLiver]

15. It's not going to happen

This has put an end to that prospect and even before this many objected to her on ideological purity grounds.

[Callado119]

16. Too little too late..

She should just wait for it to blow over. I don’t think she had much of a chance to be VP anyway...

[Budi]

19. Its not just the VP. It will be used in her next Senate run.

Honestly, it didn't take but a couple hours for discussions of 'who's going to Primary her' to begin.

They didn't need facts to drive a good swiftboating campaign, you just need one tweet length message.

Maybe Al Frankin will step in

[Wellstone ruled]

18. Amy is out of the VP run.

Never thought she had the Portfolio. And the Stench of Chavin would never go away no matter what.

[Dem4Life1102]

20. Too little, too late

Her history as a prosecutor will haunt her.
