unfair charge against Emmer

I read today's Strib piece on Emmer with some anticipation. I knew that the Strib couldn't help itself--it couldn't possibly write three pages on Emmer without some slam.

I found it on page three. The Strib quoted a lawyer for whom Emmer worked in the early 1990s and who was critical on his work ethic and his ability to work a file to conclusion. 

I would be very curious to know how this part of the story came about.  Did this lawyer contact the Strib? Did the Strib contact every former employer or law partner of Emmer's until they found one who would dish some dirt? 

More importantly, will the Strib go to the same length in its coverage of Dayton and Horner? Something tells me Dayton will get a pass.  Care to wager?
