If you are involved in a court case, or close to one of the litigants, you would find it very hard to demonstrate that what you wrote about a party or a law firm associated with the case, or a related area of law, was entirely objective. Even a minor slip up in neutrality in a court-case article on Wikipedia for an active case-in-progress could potentially be noticed by the courts and/or their parties, and this could potentially cause real-world harm, not just harm to Wikipedia. Because of this, we strongly discourage editing when this type of conflict exists.
Swanson continues to defend his wiki-editing on MN Publius HERE.
Swanson may be trying to affect another high-profile legal battle .... on another thread at Mn Publius, Swanson makes this statement:
“…the attorney scandal –no scandal here…”
Hmmmm....
Former USA Tom Heffelfinger’s last corruption investigation was Gary Dean Zimmermann who worked closely with Rep. Mark Olson at Mpls. City Hall and the MN Legislature. It's very likely that Zimmermann and Olson e-mailed each other. That exchange of e-mails may have been on the computer seized in the FBI raid on the Zimmermann home back in 2005.
It's also possible that other evidence linking Zimmermann to prominent Republicans was found on Zimmermann's hard drive.
