A Democratic district attorney who has pursued Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker over alleged campaign finance violations told a fellow prosecutor that his crying wife, a union official, drove him to hunt the governor and his conservative allies because of his anti-union laws feared by organized labor.
The explosive revelation came Tuesday as lawyers for Milwaukee DA John Chisholm began two days of oral arguments in a Chicago courtroom over earlier rulings that effectively ended his wide-ranging investigation.
The investigation aimed to show that conservative groups were illegally working hand-in-hand with Walker's office when they ran 'issue ads' pressing the case that public employee unions should face reforms. Such arrangements, attorneys say, are common on both sides of the political aisle – including President Barack Obama's longstanding coordination with Priorities USA Action and other 'super PACs.'
Leaders of virtually every conservative political nonprofit in the Badger State, 29 in all, have found themselves swept up in Chisholm's criminal probe as they were hit with pre-dawn raids that seized their computers, cell phones, email records – and even a child's iPad.
Armed police kept many of them from contacting their lawyers or corralling their children in some cases while they executed searches initiated by Chisholm over a period of a year and a half.....
[BIG SNIP]
.......'To date,' he said, 'no one has been able to explain why District Attorney John Chisholm has gone to the lengths he has gone to try to find criminal conduct that could taint Governor Walker. If this new information is accurate, now we know the motivation, and there needs to be an investigation of the investigators.'

That story was frightening.
I knew about this but I didn't really know about it.
I’m confused. What’s going on? Who’s going after who and for what reason? Why cant I keep up lol
The Lord loves a hangin’...
Anyone.
District Attorney John Chisholm is unfit to live in a free society.
This is about the 2 John Doe investigations - first one on Gov. Walker and 2nd one on conservative groups in WI.
Read the National Review report in Post #1.
FIVE (5) years of this they’ve endured because the state took on the unions and won - this process is their punishment.
The WI Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court are going to rule on this activist DA’s and prosecutor’s “overreach.”
“A Democratic district attorney who has pursued Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker over alleged campaign finance violations told a fellow prosecutor that his crying wife, a union official, drove him to hunt the governor and his conservative allies...”
Hmm, I’m wondering if she lets him have the box containing a certain part of his anatomy on weekends?
What a worm. Disbar him, fine him, then jail him.
Milwaukee District Attorney John Chisolm should be charged with multiple counts of burglary, breaking and entering, assault, false imprisonment, filing false police reports, perjury (for lying on warrant documents), false imprisonment, kidnapping and grand-theft.
He should then be tried, convicted and sentenced to spend the rest of his natural life in a maximum security state prison without possibility of parole.
He's fit to live, as long as it's behind bars.
This is predominately, if not exclusively, something the left does - uses their positions in the gov’t to target political enemies,
including voters.
“....Since Chisholm prosecuted an unrelated 2009 embezzlement case that Walker’s office urged him to take up when he was a county executive, conservatives have wondered why the DA expanded the probe into what Wisconsin insiders call a ‘John Doe’ investigation – ensnaring dozens of Walker’s aides and allies once he became governor in 2010....”
Thanks. So basically a witch hunt of a republican governor.
Kinda like the Governor of Arkansas backing down on religious freedom because his son doesn’t like it.
Nobody elected their spouses or family members and they don’t get to make the choices for the rest of us.
Actually, an attempted lynching.
Read the link on #1......the left sicced all those cops on those people.......it was nothing less than a home invasion.
Yes - and the conservatives in the state and the Club for Growth.... and they couldn’t tell anyone what in the world was happening (for years) or get lawyers...
I had NO idea of the horrible details!! Peoples heads should roll.
