I think you’re needed here.
Unbelievable. If true, some heads need to roll.

This should become a cornerstone of the Walker campaign. He should shine a light on this and make a grand extrapolation from this pointing to all liberals everywhere.

OMG!!! Liberalism is EVIL PERSONIFIED.
Always remember that NAZI was the anacronym for “National Socialist Party.”
The Democrat Party is socialist and their political operatives, corrupt judges and criminal unions act like the Gestapo.
Power Corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Police didnt draw their guns. They didnt have to. Garish light blinded the groggy targets of the secret probe, startling neighbors. The uniforms, the lights, the early hour got everybodys attention. One of the targets says police threatened to use battering rams to break down the front door, but the targets let them in.
Armed with warrants approved at the request of prosecutors, investigators searched the homes for evidence of a political crime.
The fact that Milwaukee District Attorney John Chisholm is a Democrat and the targets of the simultaneous paramilitary-style raids were all conservatives has generated controversy over the past year......
.....OKeefe is a director of the Wisconsin Club for Growth. While his home was not targeted in the raids, he and the Club for Growth were subpoenaed as part of the same John Doe probe. That subpoena demanded all records and information from the organization, its employees and officers dating back more than four years, to March 2009......"
Anyone who doesn’t believe they would take you off in the night and end you if they could is woefully naïve.
They’re just not to the point where they are comfortable about not being caught yet. Or to the point where their power and control is so absolute they do not care about what they do being known.
for later
The question is-Will anyone be held accountable?
What is a "political crime"?
This is what tyranny looks like. Right here, right now.
That is some scary stuff.
This is tyranny under color of law, plain and simple.
If government doesn’t take care of the problem they have created, the People at some point will.
Almost immediately after opening the John Doe investigation, Chisholm used his expansive powers to embarrass Walker, raiding his county-executive offices within a week. As Mr. OKeefe and the Wisconsin Club for Growth explained in court filings, the investigation then dramatically expanded:
>>>Over the next few months, [Chisholms] investigation of all-things-Walker expanded to include everything from alleged campaign-finance violations to sexual misconduct to alleged public contracting bid-rigging to alleged misuse of county time and property. Between May 5, 2010, and May 3, 2012, the Milwaukee Defendants filed at least eighteen petitions to formally [e]nlarge the scope of the John Doe investigation, and each was granted. . . . That amounts to a new formal inquiry every five and a half weeks, on average, for two years.<<<<
This expansion coincided with one of the more remarkable state-level political controversies in modern American history the protest (and passage) of Act 10, followed by the attempted recall of a number of Wisconsin legislators and, ultimately, Governor Walker.
Political observers will no doubt remember the events in Madison the state capitol overrun by chanting protesters, Democratic lawmakers fleeing the state to prevent votes on the legislation, and tens of millions of dollars of outside money flowing into the state as Wisconsin became, fundamentally, a proxy fight pitting the union-led Left against the Tea Partyled economic Right."....

2011 Wisconsin Protests and Aftermath [MASSIVE Wiki entry but no mention of this 4-year-long John Doe "investigation" or Chisholm's role
Ping. This is an important story that many more should know about.
In the second John Doe, Chisholm had no real evidence of wrongdoing. Yes, conservative groups were active in issue advocacy, but issue advocacy was protected by the First Amendment and did not violate relevant campaign laws. Nonetheless, Chisholm persuaded prosecutors in four other counties to launch their own John Does, with Judge Kluka overseeing all of them.
Empowered by a rubber-stamp judge, partisan investigators ran amok. They subpoenaed and obtained (without the conservative targets knowledge) massive amounts of electronic data, including virtually all the targets personal e-mails and other electronic messages from outside e-mail vendors and communications companies......"
This is SOP for all CPS cases—an area of “law” with no statutory oversight or even limitations, and a carte blanch denial of Constitutional protections. If you havent been party to such a case, you have no idea of modern justice. You can be blacklisted, blackmailed and bankrupted on false accusations and there is no recourse and no accountability in most states.
Many law-and-order conservative are happy to build the gallows upon which they are their compatriots will hang.
