The only reason we haven’t had a repeat of “Kristalnacht” is they haven’t been able to disarm us.

[rabidralph]

I won’t hold my breath.

Oh yeah, Bush 43 used this same strategy to defend Scooter Libby. It devastated the democrats. Then Romney spoke out during the 2012 campaign when all his big donors were being audited by the IRS. It was a bold move./s

Why doesn’t Scott Walker do something about this?
Fire the police officers in that raid. Fire everyone associated with it. At the very least you sue them so it becomes very expensive to be a member of the gestapo that the democrat party has created. That attorney general can be removed.

[SaveFerris]

I've never heard of this guy. There are pics of him. He engineered this Gestapo-thing? Wow.

“NPR was all over “right wing extremism” this last Sunday, and as expected totally dismissed jihadist extremism.”

Such blindness to Islam’s savagery is why the are known as National Palisimian Radio.

[azkathy]

I agree. If he (Scott Walker) doesn’t speak out to defend his supporters will he speak out to defend Americans if elected as President?

$775,000 and rising — Wisconsin taxpayers’ bill to defend John Doe prosecutors

Taxpayers conservatively have spent north of $775,000 defending the prosecutors of a politically charged John Doe investigation driven on a legal theory that even the prosecutors have rejected.

The state, as of Monday, had paid $368,654.60 for the legal defense of Francis Schmitz, the special prosecutor for the multi-county John Doe probe into dozens of conservative organizations and Gov. Scott Walker’s campaign, according to information obtained by Wisconsin Reporter through an open records request.

Taxpayers are on the hook for another $407,643.58 in attorney fees to defend Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm, the Democrat who launched the probe in late summer 2012, two of his assistant DAs and a special investigator contracted by the state Government Accountability Board.

“That’s an awful lot of taxpayer dollars to advance a legal theory that the state itself has already repudiated,” said Andrew M. Grossman, an attorney for political activist Eric O’Keefe and his Wisconsin Club for Growth, one of 29 conservative groups targeted in the campaign finance probe.

The expenditures were released by Walker’s legal counsel, who, under state law, is in charge of handling the legal bills of the same people who for the past few years have gone after Walker’s campaign and the Republican governor’s conservative allies. Costs reflect only money spent defending the prosecutors in federal court.

Insanity

I can say I would definitely talk about this if it happened to me. I’d get an attorney too.

This is a variation of everything Lois Lerner did, with Levin’s and McCain’s blessings. And most of the CBC.

Law? WHAT law?

[combat_boots]

Yes. It has become so.

[combat_boots]

Crime against the Left, as THEY define it, which means ANYTHING.

[Rusty0604]

Or a job at the DOJ under Loretta Lynch.

[combat_boots]

Child Protective Services.

See MedicalKidnap.

The Stanley children in Arkansas.

That 25 million being a percentage of the population-which has now doubled.

[BraveMan]

Oh, it gets better (worse).

Documents obtained by the MacIver Institute show taxpayers shelled out $965,191.70 from July 1, 2013 to November 30, 2014 to six different law firms, which are defending the Government Accountability Board (GAB), Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm, and other John Doe investigators. The largest sum of money - $589,523.02 - went to three law firms representing the GAB or its special prosecutors in the John Doe probe.



I'm waiting for someone to tally up the cost in man-hours for the participants of this "Lawfare", as well as the materials costs. I don't imagine 30 armed raids at the crack of dawn come very cheap.

The lawyers' fees would be a drop in the bucket compared to that number. I'm guessing it's just south of $10 million.

Know what else we don’t hear about? The $13T lawsuit with the international bankers, for looting the US Treasury. The CNBC Exec and his wife had their children killed the same day that was publicized by CNBC. THE STORY WAS PULLED IN THE AFTERNOON, and we’ve not heard boo about the case since.

[Rusty0604]

People that lived under fascism under Mussolini and Hitler and others could only write fiction with hidden meanings about life.

IIRC, there were nearly 30 lawsuits against Palin when she resigned as governor.

They were all dropped once McCain/Palin lost.
