| #10 Of course, her party may dump her for stupidity Not a chance in hell. That is a resume padder for sure in the DNC and will get her a promotion. |

| #9 ^"All the animals are equal, but some are more equal than others." Of course, her party may dump her for stupidity - but I wouldn't count on it. |

| #8 ^ Not a lawyer, but the law seems to read a bit differently Minnesota Law 609.582 BURGLARY. §Subdivision 1.Burglary in the first degree. Whoever enters a building without consent and with intent to commit a crime, or enters a building without consent and commits a crime while in the building, either directly or as an accomplice, commits burglary in the first degree and may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than 20 years or to payment of a fine of not more than $35,000, or both, if: (a) the building is a dwelling and another person, not an accomplice, is present in it when the burglar enters or at any time while the burglar is in the building; (b) the burglar possesses, when entering or at any time while in the building, any of the following: a dangerous weapon, any article used or fashioned in a manner to lead the victim to reasonably believe it to be a dangerous weapon, or an explosive; or (c) the burglar assaults a person within the building or on the building's appurtenant property.

| #7 MN Dem State Senator Burgled Stepmom’s Home to Steal Father’s Effects. “So this was intentional and malicious,” former Minnesota resident Ed Morrissey writes. “Still, that’s not quite enough for first-degree burglary in Minnesota, as I noted yesterday. That usually applies when the burglar has a weapon or commits an assault. The indictment should be very, very interesting in this case. Stay tuned. |

| #6 “Public records and an obituary posted by a Detroit Lakes funeral home show that Mitchell’s father, who died last month, and stepmother lived on the same block of the same road in Detroit Lakes as where the senator was arrested. The stepmother did not immediately return a call seeking comment.” Maybe she was pre-gaming the estate distribution. |

| #5 From the article: "not immediately return a call left on the jail's voicemail system for inmates" WTF?! |

| #4 In some locales, breaking and entering when the occupants are home is referred to as "hot prowl." |

| #3 Dispatchers received a 911 call at 4:45 a.m. from a homeowner about “an active burglary in process at her residence,” (local police chief) Todd said in an interview Because speculation is so much fun, I'm going with some sort of love triangle gone bad thing. |

| #2 She still serves as lieutenant colonel in the Air National Guard, commanding a weather unit. Her 'balloon' just got BUSTED. Don't forget the Suspensions of Favorable Personnel Action (AR 600-8-2 'FLAG') as well as suspension of security clearance. |

| #1 Mitchell was arrested while the Senate is on its Passover break. Her arrest comes at an awkward time for Senate Democrats, who hold just a one-seat majority with four weeks left in the legislative session. Her absence would make it difficult to pass any legislation that lacks bipartisan support. |
