Heh:

But the truth is, even if Linda Pence had NO new ideas for the office, you’ll notice that NOBODY, and I mean NOBODY has said Greg Zoeller is a better lawyer than Linda Pence. Because they can’t. They just can’t.

They can. I can. I have.

Greg Zoeller and Linda Pence have a history. They have encountered each other in the legal arena before. Linda Pence’s client was the paving firm Rieth-Riley, which was a codefendant in the largest corruption case in Indiana history.

Rieth-Riley settled out of that case. Greg Zoeller and Steve Carter won. Linda Pence lost.

History tells us who got the better of that encounter; I think it says a lot about who will make a better attorney general.

And, no, don’t feed me some line about it being expedient for Rieth-Riley to settle out. Linda Pence was unable to defend her clients or to prevail on their behalf. That Rieth-Riley may have caved because Carter and Zoeller squeezed them over their other state contracts is icing on that cake (and rapidly disspells any notion that Zoeller is insufficiently zealous).

Regardless, Linda Pence can be as zealous as she wants in her defense of drug dealers, convicted murderers, corrupt CEOs, corrupt politicians, and so forth. She’s an Indianapolis trial lawyer (and a liberal trial lawyer at that). It’s expected. That doesn’t make her qualified to be attorney general; it makes her qualified as the lawyer of choice of Hoosier criminals, not as someone tasked with keeping them in jail or bringing them to justice.
