Many more to come as his Heydrich Holder goes down the list.
Mr Walker’s time is limited. The regime will begin to move more openly against its opponents.
I suspect he knows this. God be with him.
They are just following orders. It is what they are trained to do, and they will do it because the alternative is to quit or get investigated themselves.
They are no different that millions though out history that have just followed orders, including many FBI men who did what they knew was wrong.
The myth of a noble government worker is just that, a myth. There may be some, but few people will disobey authority.

For the government union employees. This country is getting more like NAZI Germany every day. Ask Gibson - they donated to the lefts political enemy. They had to de destroyed.
This "raid" needs to be investigated. Their are a lot of Pulitzer prizes to be had from this administration. Where are the motivated journalists?
Yet I’ll bet many hope it turns into a Hamburger Holocaust!
Anyone else find this "funny?"
Sounds like a Curt Weldon thing.
The FBI is searching for posts made while folks are at work? Something stinks here....to high heavens!
Criminalization of the political opposition. They’ve gone full-on Red Army here, folks. Don’t tell me that the word “Communist” is too strong for this crowd.
I think the prosecutor who is doing this political witch hunt needs to be brought to justice himself. It should be a big dang deal to have this happening over and over again in the US."

Sara - there is nothing that can be done in this instance.
In this instance, at least one Milwaukee County employee of then-County Exec Scott Walker who was also a political supporter of Walker's gubernatorial election campaign used county computers during county work time to respond to articles and web postings that were negative to Walker on the Journal-Sentinel website. The individual involved accepted responsibility for his actions and was fired.
DA Chisholm is using the incident to allege that the employee's actions were directed by Walker, Walker aides or the Walker gubernatorial campaign. If that occurred, it is a criminal act.
Enforcement of that violation is generally applied only against Republican politicians by partisan Democrat DA's. Dozens of documented incidents in 2010 & 2011 of Democrat candidates (legislators, teachers and other government employees) using government email accounts, computers and other equipment for campaign purposes that have not been investigated or prosecuted by Democrat county DA's from across the state. Useless RINO State Attorney General JB Van Hollen has also failed to act on these cases.
Anyway, Chisholm only needs to have the cloak of a possible criminal violation to "persuade" a Democrat Milawukee County judge to order a John Doe investigation. With a John Doe, a DA is permitted to use the FBI to investigate the matter and gather evidence.
Even though neither patisan hack DA Chisholm or the partisan hack judge acutally believe a crime has been committed, the cloak shields them from any provable charge of misconduct in office.
It sucks that Democrats can abuse the rules to harrass Republican politicians, but that's just the way it is. And it will continue to be that way until a Republican DA abuses the rules to harrass a prominent Democrat politician. Only when Democrats understand that they too can be made subject to the same Star Chamber proceedings as Republicans, the bogus John Doe investigations will stop.
In the meantime, because John Doe investigations are secret (even though Chisholm's office is leaking like a sieve to liberal interest groups and media outlets), we have no actual idea exact idea about what or who is being investigated. Given the pressure being placed on top Walker aides who have moved from Milwaukee County government to his Administration in Madison, we can assume that Walker is the ultimate target of the imagined "crime".
We "know" that DA Chisholm is conducting a partisan hack fishing expedition to harrass Gov. Walker, we just can't prove it or do anything about it.

No, here is what happened.
A liberal IT employee of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel informed a liberal investigative reporter at the paper that pro-Walker comments were being posted to the paper's web blog from a Milwaukee county government employee's email address.
The reporter traced the email to a county employee loyal to Walker.
The reporter then approached Journal Sentinel management to change the paper's web posting policy which had previously promised the anonymity of any web poster.
The liberal management of the paper then changed the anonymity policy so their reporter could run the story to damage the Walker gubernatorial campaign.
The publication of the story instigated the bogus investigation by the liberal county DA's office.
The bogus investigation by the liberal DA enabled a liberal county judge to order a bogus John Doe investigation.
The bogus John Doe investigation allowed the liberal DA to bring the FBI in as investigators and gatherers of evidence.
The FBI probably doesn't want to be involved, but they are compelled via the John Doe to act in support the liberal county DA by the order of the liberal county judge.
Throughout the process, the liberal DA has been leaking info to the liberal news media.
The Journal Sentinel now has 5 reporters working on this non-story that they manufactured from the beginning.
If we can not legally hold them accountable for abusing the power of their office, can we at least prepare a huge political backlash against them for acting as KGB agents and conducting political witch hunts under the color of law.
Can we make their lives miserable...recall the judge and have the next Republican administration fire the DA? We have to make it costly for the communists who do this in the US. We need to follow these people to the ends of the earth and haunt every breath they take after their witch hunts are concluded and they find nothing. It is terrifying and makes politics if one is not a communist, risky.

Sadly, the answers to your questions are No, No and No.
While Wisconisn county offices are non-partisan posts, Milwaukee County government is a Democrat machine. The election of Republican Scott Walker as County Executive was a probably a fluke one-time occurance (although he was re-elected to a second term). Walker was initially elected in a recall campaign after the former Exec and County Board lined their pockets (along with most long-time county employees) with a pension, sick leave and vacation fund scam that paid each employee exhorbitant cash backdrop payments (some in excess of $100,000) in addition to their other retirement and health benefits. Several dirty County Board members were recalled as a result of the scandal.
Unfortunately, most of the "reform" Board members were defeated in the next election by the stupid and predominantly Democrat Milwaukee County electorate. The stupidity remains today. A liberal legacy millionaire was elected to replace Walker as County Exec, Milwaukee County is broke and taxes and fees are rising. Unless the County decalres bankruptcy or there is another epic scandal, there will be no political backlash.
And any mythical future conservative County Exec (remember the post is "non-partisan") couldn't fire the DA. County District Attorney is an elected "non-partisan" position. The partisan situation is even worse in Dane County (more commonly referred to as the People's Republic of Dane County). That's where the liberal government officials allowed the forced occupation of the beautiful Capitol Rotunda by a mob of teachers, unionistas and other dirty, smelly, Bolshevik hippies and abused the DA's office and County Sherriff's office in the Supreme Court kerfuffle with Prosser and the deranged Ann Walsh Bradley.
There is literally nothing that can be done to fix the 3rd world Banana Republics of Dane & Milwaukee County government. Any conservatives who live in these 2 counties need to speak up, but they damn well better watch their backs when they do so. The rest of the state is much more tolerant.
>“John Doe investigations are secret proceedings in which witnesses can be subpoenaed and compelled to testify under oath about potential criminal matters and are forbidden from talking publicly about the case.”
Sounds like a violation of the 6th Amendment.
Wow. Thanks for the education. I’m glad I don’t live there.
Democraps woould NEVER do that...
probably because they don't have jobs. Or at least jobs where they are allowed to touch the important computers
