Scott Walker supporters claim police raided homes over politics
Fox News ^ | 24 Apr, 2015 | Fox News

Posted on 12/29/2017 8:20:36 PM PST by MtnClimber

Archer says she was asleep in her home one night when she was jolted awake when more than a dozen police officers with a battering ram were yelling and pounding on the door. She says she was trying desperately to calm down her dogs, begging the police not to shoot them. She was afraid, given how angry they appeared.

She says police would not say why they were there, but they ransacked her home, grabbed computers and phones and told Ms. Archer she could not tell anyone. And there was much more to this story.

Michael Lutz is a decorated retired police officer who many say confirmed these raids were politically motivated, and head of Wisconsin Club for Growth, Eric O'Keefe says the raid victims are guilty of nothing more than exercising their right to support conservative causes.

All right. Thank you both so much for being here.

So, let me start with you on this, Eric. So, you are affiliated with this conservative group, and you know some of the people who were targeted in these raids. What were -- the police were there on a prosecutor's push and a judge's order, because they were suspected of pushing conservative issues, basically. That's the charge. Just like in the IRS deal, they were being targeted for supporting conservative issues.

....... you were attacked for your virtue, for your effectiveness, that's why they were attacked. Because the left was tired of losing election after election after election. They correctly identified some of the most important communicators of political messages in Wisconsin and raided their family homes with kids at home. They knew the kids were at home. They knew the schedules. They came in the dark and put aside whether people should have filed different campaign financial reports.

It’s not a “claim”, it’s a fact. Idiot journalists.

I posted this as background on government abuses related to the Bundy Trial.

These "news organizations" that pick and choose which stories they will report, and which they will spike, should be forced out of business. They have no right to be pretending to report what is going on if they are not doing that, for political purposes.

Mueller/Comey redux... Mark my words, these teo scumbags are playing the nice profile but if it was not for the visibility,they would do the same. The spying on Trump is very grave.

The spying on Trump based on known fake documents is sedition. Sentence should be public hanging.

Again,I posted this as background on government abuses similar to the Bundy Trial. Nothing happened with the 2015 abuses so I don’t expect any here either. Unless a brave citizen takes it to them.

No justice. The DA who orchestrated the John Doe raids won reelection.

I got a call(several years ago) from a district attorney in WI saying one of my employees may have voted twice and I was not allowed to tell him he was being investigated. He was a sometime Tea Party supporter. Normal conservative.

I always found the “you cannot tell anyone” part of this story a bit odd and probably unlikely. After all, what can Chisolm do if you do tell someone? Even if you don’t call the local TV tation, word will get out.

After such a break-in, your first call would most likely be to your insurance company to get an appraisal on fixing the door. They would want to know what happened so they had a chance of getting their money back from the source of the damage after paying the claim to you. Next you call the repair folks, carpenters, painters, etc all of whom may end up knowing the truth.

If it were me the next call would be to an attorney whose political position was at odds with Chisolm.

That’s not the first time I’ve heard that about “Don’t tell Anyone”.

I always told my kids, the minute someone says don’t tell anyone, you have to tell me.

She should have immediately gone to her lawyer. Lawyers are the last stand against government abuse.

Chisholm belongs in prison. No, not county jail, prison, doing hard time.
