CHICAGO — Prosecutors in Wisconsin assert that Gov. Scott Walker placed himself in the middle of an elaborate effort to illegally coordinate fund-raising between his campaign and numerous conservative groups during efforts to recall him two years ago, according to records of their investigation unsealed on Thursday.
The allegations by five county district attorneys, released as part of a federal lawsuit over the investigation into Mr. Walker, his aides and the conservative groups, suggest that Mr. Walker’s campaign expressly coordinated with the outside groups, including Wisconsin Club for Growth, to the point that campaign advisers also controlled some of the groups.
Legal filings by the prosecutors provided a rare view of the inner workings of a far-flung network of conservative nonprofit groups that have come to play a decisive role in national and state elections, moving hundreds of millions of dollars into campaigns by avoiding traditional political action committees that face tougher disclosure requirements.

Totally misleading article headline.

Full blown communist overthrow under way.
the enemy knows who they need to destroy.
For every one of ours they smear...we take a journalist out..who cares about the Dems...it is their Praetorian Guard that need to be investigated.
Part and parcel of the background to this is the rather arcane law in Wisconsin that allows the ‘Star Court’ type of prosecution in political matters. It is called “John Doe” because witnesses cannot discuss what they are summoned for or what they testified to. It has a ‘chilling effect’ upon the political process as no one quite knows what is going on outside the prosecutors and the court system.
The fact that this is being run by Democrat County prosecutors and elected Democrat State judiciary should be sufficient to reveal the intent of this prosecution.
The moron who broke MF Global. Former Dem Gov of NJ and the ‘go to guy’ for Biden and Obama on Wall Street.
The left never gives up. It’s about time THEY be prosecute and JAILED!
