Lost Law Professor Searches For A Home

— Richard Painter, George W. Bush’s ethics lawyer and University of Minnesota Law School professor, has set up an exploratory committee for a possible run at Al Franken’s open Senate seat, but the long-time Republican doesn’t know if he has a place in the party anymore. As a prominent Trump critic, Painter just doesn’t know where he fits in. Hey, running as a third party candidate got Jesse Ventura elected in Minnesota and that worked out great for everybody.
