This is from the Minnesota Monitor's Eric Black.
Rachel Paulose, the embattled U.S. attorney for Minnesota, suffered through an awkward moment Tuesday when a retirement party for a long-serving prosecutor in her office turned into a thunderous ovation for several of Paulose's severest critics. Word of the incident has buzzed through the Twin Cities federal legal community and become the latest symbol of a very rough 18 months since Paulose took over the top federal law enforcement job in Minnesota.Reports suggest that 90% of the "room erupted with loud, sustained applause that could not be taken as anything other than solidarity with Paulose's internal critics and appreciation for the sacrifice they had made to protest against her -- clearly a spontaneous release of the tensions within the office." Among those in attendance were 5 of the Federal Judges serving Minneapolis. "One of the eyewitnesses said she had a glazed look during the ovation."
I'd bet you she took her frustrations out on her kickboxing partner Tuesday night.
