Milwaukee County DA John Chisholm’s Actions Against Conservatives Are Unlawful & UnAmerican
The American Spectator ^ | April 22, 2015 | Aaron Goldstein

Posted on 04/23/2015 1:20:31 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

If you haven't read David French's piece in NRO concerning the John Doe investigations and the tactics deployed in them under the direction of liberal Democrat Milwaukee County DA John Chisholm, please do so.

A number of conservative activists in Wisconsin who had the temerity to support Governor Scott Walker and his efforts to curb public sector unions found their homes raided by police,their property confiscated and were told by the authorities they could tell no one about what happened not even their attorneys. This was done under the order of Chisholm who has also directly targeted Walker in a John Doe investigation, but has turned up nothing against him.

Now what I'm about to say is stating the obvious,but it I must say it nevertheless. What would happen if a group of union activists who opposed Governor Walker's measures found their homes raided by police,their property confiscated and wre told by authorities they could not tell anyone what had happened including their attorneyy? And what if this happened at the behest of a Republican DA sympathetic to Walker?

Well, I'll tell you. This story would be on page 1 of The New York Times every day for the next two months, would be the lead story of the three major networks, would be profiled on 60 Minutes and would be discussed on an hourly basis at MSNBC and Al Jazeera. We would be told that fascism has arrived in America's heartland and that Republicans are shredding the Constitution. Throw in Scott Walker's White House bid and this story would get a thousand times hotter.

But...

....Clearly conservative activists who reside in Milwaukee County have had their First & Fourth Amendment rights abridged by a DA who cannot tolerate dissent within his jurisdiction. Chisholm's actions against conservative activists are both unlawful and unAmerican.

This has turned into a gold mine for Scott Walker. Everyday another conservative web site, web magazine pushes this story and it all screams .... SCOTT WALKER 3 ELECTIONS in 2 YEARS UNDER ALL WHILE UNDER LAWFARE.

“Chisholm’s actions against conservative activists are both unlawful and unAmerican.”

So, what is going to be done? Nothing, that’s why Liberals keep trashing the Constitution and trampling on our rights. What can be done? How about fighting for your rights. Sue his a$$ off in criminal court, civil court, federal court, anywhere and everywhere - on a personal basis.

The contrast -

between how the media deflects, protects and is “headline” outraged for Hillary

VERSUS

how they hide Democratic Party criminality perpetrated against conservatives,

is HUGE!!!

The WI Supreme Ct and the U.S. Supreme Ct have this in front of them.

Also these Democrats are being fought in court.

btw - at the bottom of the page at that link (if you want to read more about this) there is a chronological list w/ links to almost 200 stories done by a watchdog group on this.

Better question: Did any of Sheriff Clarke’s officers participate in any of these torturous B&Es?

This is why I register Democrat. Besides wishing to present a cornucopia of conflicting information to the government data miners, I find the Democrats are the only party who wants to kill you or lock you away for having the wrong letter after your name.

I don’t know.

I guess we should find out.

An apparent rogue DA in Milwaukee WI is out of control. It seems to me that WI Gov. Walker and his Atty. Gen. should be able to stop the lawlessness.

I looked around some but found no mention. Plenty of articles where Clarke is critical of the DA but no mention of participation by MKE County Sheriff’s Office of participation in SWAT invasions.

Then you should endeavor to learn why. It's out there. Just look.

Simple:

If it's a Republican, the media is an arm of the Prosecution.

If it's a Democrat, the media is an arm of the Defense.

If the NY Times, the 3 major networks, 60 Minutes, MSNBC, & al Jazeera wont report the news, all the news, then why read/watch these media outlets?

To do so is to likely miss some important info, & worse, to be told some outright lies.

Most of us have limited time during the day for news gathering. Why waste your time with known propagandists? I wont.

Ditto that. We are swimming up stream until the liberal commie media bias is confronted with aggression and passion. He who controls the story controls everything.

O’Keefe and the club are seeking damages not only in the prosecutors’ official capacity as state agents, but in a personal capacity — meaning the defendants would have to pay out of their personal finances.

I hope they win big.
