Reply #96: I agree that saying "well why didn't they do this" is not a great argument

But we are dealing with the level of threat as interpreted to why they would kill him, their motivation. If their motivation was control of the Senate, electoral shenanigans would be easier. Not necessarily in Wellstone's race(because of his lead) but others around the country.

If their motivation was fear of Wellstone conducting hearings, GOP control of the Senate would prevent him from doing so.

I just don't think he was killed. Not because I doubt the craven nature of the admin, but because it does not make sense for them.
