from Tony's Facebook page

Dear Facebook Friends, Thanks so much for your understanding!! I'll open up the page later, but for obvious reasons, have to watch comments.

“As a proud former peace officer and longtime champion for public safety, I am forced to face the reality that I have made some at the Capitol feel uncomfortable, and disrespected. To those individuals and specifically the unnamed lobbyist , I sincerely apologize for my unwelcome behavior. “I would also like to apologize to God, my family, my constituents, and friends for the mistakes I have made.
After having conferred with family members, friends and advisors, it is with deep regret tonight that I am announcing my intention to resign from the Minnesota House of Representatives. I do so after reaching an agreement in principle with the unnamed lobbyist that has been mentioned. The agreement is basically that I offer the enclosed apology, and resign from my office, on or before December, 1st 2017 and that we both provide each other with a mutual release of any claims against each other now and in the future.
Sincerely, State Representative Tony Cornish

Good. It's the right choice. Also good that Schoen resigned as well.

I am surprised to hear of these resignations, especially Cornish. Given this, Franken surely should do the same.

Though I'd love nothing more than for Spanken Franken to depart, rumor has it that Gov. Goofy will appoint the one possible worse option to replace him: Ellison. Out of the frying pan into the fire, I guess.

Actually wouldn't be worst if Dayton appointed Ellinson. He's not someone I would see being reelected on a statewide level for a senate seat so that could be MN's best route for getting a republican senate seat down the road. Look at it this way...Dayton will appoint some ultra progressive to replace Franken. Would you rather it be someone who can't be reelected statewide or would you rather it be someone with broader appeal across the state?

As for Cornish, a couple things I would note in this. First, his accuser outed herself (which some of you were critical of her for not doing). Second, he resigned under conditions set by her and her attorney. Which means that there was definitely more there and he was at risk of being sued personally in a civil suit for damages. It's pretty clear that she let the issue drop in exchange for his unqualified resignation.

Never piss into the wind. Don't **** where you eat. And don't try to **** people with whom you have work/business relationships.

I agree. Obviously, it would be nice to have it drag out long enough for the resignation/appointment to happen in a post Dayton Republican administration, but that's a long shot. I think Ellison would lose in the special election (in 2018??)

The fact the Franken was elected in the first place gave me no hope for MN. I'm still trying to figure out how to secede to ND.

So if he resigned under conditions set forth by her attorney, then it would imply she was planning to sue. If she expected to win, she felt she had damages. What does she gain by his resignation?

Successful blackmail? She may be getting paid.

If you're genuinely interested in her motivations, you can read her statement in this article.

You believe that is "genuine"? Seems like politics by those who play the game. Ya, the system works....
