Sara Frankenstein, an attorney with Gunderson Palmer (and law partner to 2022 AG Candidate Marty Jackley) is noted tonight as being hired to serve as special counsel for the special session regarding impeachment.
Based on qualifications… a solid choice by House leadership – she has a great reputation.
Politically, however, may not be the best move considering her law partner is actively running for the Attorney General nomination. Or maybe that was on purpose?
I thought she was a solid choice as well.
Conflict of interest big time.
BAH. She’ll do great.
So it’s a conflict because she supports Marty and would go after Ravnsborg or a conflict because she will drag this out for Marty and keep the governor from appointing someone and impeaching JR?
Uh huh. I don’t think she would ruin her reputation and do either. She will do her job and do it well.
So having multiple conflicts makes it better…WTF
Marty would you like to look at the file… it’s on my desk.
Serious conflict of interest
If there was any conflict, she would not take it. Especially in a high profile matter like this.
She and Jason were law school classmates, for whatever that is worth.
Maybe the house can work out a discount deal after today’s devastating testimony about the Noem appraisal scandal….talk about impeachable offenses!
Govt affairs expert? Not on the third floor of the Capitol. Good luck.
Works out rather well for Marty to have his law partner handling this.
Keep it on topic, please.
Sara is a well qualified attorney and will do a great job on this. She understands full well the ethical rules the state bar has about conflict of interest and will make sure her execution of these duties doesn’t create one.
Is Ravnsborg actually running again?
