I would also like to remind people that Dean has been an above board, honest, hard working and not even remotely materialistic person his whole life -- even when it hurt him. Do not assume that the FBI is necessarily right that there are shenanigans going on. Innocent unless and until proven guilty is still the law of the land, last time I looked. diane wiley, tangletown, who has seen many wrongful accusations in her day...

Pardon my absence, I've been out of Minneapolis much of the summer. The FBI could have saved themselves a bunch of trouble and Dean Zimmerman a home invasion. They could have probably gotten Dean's campaign mailing list at city hall just across the street from their Federal Building offices. And they could of gotten Dean's list of contributors right off the web from the comfort of their offices. But Noooo... This doesn't just smell, it reeks. I've known Dean for over three decades and if he was on the take he'd have more to show for it. And while his donor list includes an Isaac of American Iron fame and a well known Republican from Oakdale as well as a Deja Vu employee, all such donations appear to have been scrupulously and lawfully reported. While i disagree with Dean in his choice of party affiliation, I'm sure we and all fair minded members of all political parties agree that our government has no business seizing campaign materials that are already in the public domain. from Hawthorne and Starbuck, Dyna Sluyter REMINDERS: 1.
