At the bottom of this article [lots of links in it] is an expandable list [194 entries] of all the stories this site has been writing and compiling on this.

Rush was talking about this today. This is plain out jack booted thuggery that we can look forward too in many areas when leftists don’t get thier way.
It’s pure un Constitutional but in a day of lawlessness this may become more the norm.
During the 30’s the church sang louder as the trains rolled by to drown out the screams except for the confessing church. Now we may not become that bad...but I sense the gloves come off the left this is the way will act in the now and in the future.

It was so important that Rush highlighted this.

Here is the original David French article/report. "Wisconsin’s Shame: ‘I Thought It Was a Home Invasion’"

It's been shared 21.2K times since it came out yesterday.

More on the John Doe raids. Yes, who WAS the Journal Sentinel reporter who had privy knowledge that this “secret” raid was about to happen?

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.

[demshateGod]

When Lynch is confirmed, they’ll skip all this nonsense and just order drones to reign down hell fires.

Wisconsin Reporter and Wisconsin Watchdog are wonderful sources, but the National Review wrote the best article of all on John Doe because this is a story that has been hard to understand. So much has been secret, and now we find out that there was noo there there.

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interst ping list.

This is a folow-up to the previous ping - and a H/T to Cincinatus' Wife.

As I have said in other places and other threads, the Left has reached critical mass. They are now convinced that they can say and do anything - up to and including acts like these - and not only not suffer for them, but be praised for them (any check of Leftist blogs and forums will confirm their deepest fantasies of seeing political opponents physically punished).

This is not an abstract "it could happen here". It's happening now.

For thus has the Lord said unto me:
“Go, set a watchman, Let him declare what he sees.”
Isaiah 21:6

So when do the lawsuits start?

That prosecutor should be forced to defend his office against multi-million dollar suits alleging all manner of crimes and constitutional violations.

John Doe, my a$$...there must be some redress for these folks.

It has occurred to me that the federal government has actually become something of a feudal state. Each bureaucracy is like it’s own dukedom, answerable to no one and really a sovereign state in its own right. Each one of them has its own “army” of armed federal police.

And there is one thing to keep in mind when dealing with their various “crimes” and prosecutions: Federal prosecution is fundamentally different than state prosecutions. Most state laws are Ten Commandments “right/wrong” based; “Thou shall not kill; thou shall not steal.” Federal prosecution is all sovereignty based: “How dare you object to the authority of the Federal Government to control your life!”

The example of this is the prosecution of Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVay. The statutory violation was not Murder, or a felony-murder Arson-Murder. No, it was “Destruction of Federal Property Resulting in Death.” The “crime” wasn’t killing people, it was attacking the authority of the Government of the United States.

This is actually important in the context of this story. The FBI raid on Cindy Archer’s home perfectly fits the rationale of the purpose of the FBI as set out in Federal criminal law. That body of law is not there to protect us.

It is there to protect the feudal government that exists solely to rule over our lives.

I saw this reported over the weekend. That report stated that the Wisconsin DA also violated the 4th Amendment and several others of the US Constitution. The article Rush mentioned is at:

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

WE have to tell our friends and acquaintances about this. The enemedia will COVER THIS UP. Even my politically astute Republican friends aren’t aware of this story.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

Yeah I found the National Review article. I hope a national dialogue continues...but I have my doubts

Rush today: How Innocent Scott Walker Supporters Were Persecuted in Wisconsin

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Bkmrk.

[Mr. K]

Hey- I have a question... Why were they raiding her home in the first place?

Is there an allegation of some crime?

Or is it just a government fishing expedition?

[vette6387]

The one thing that’s missing from all these articles is the status of legal action(s) against Chisholm, The judge involved, et.al. There would seem to me to be ample grounds for a Federal Civil Rights Violation lawsuit at the minimum. Also we need to start prosecuting individual LEO’s who participate in these illegal raids knowing full well that these people’s rights are being violated. No more evasion from prosecution because “I was just following orders.”

[Cincinatus' Wife]

"...In fact, it was Nardelli who, representing Walker, brought to Chisholm’s office a problem: a discrepancy in a Milwaukee County veterans fund. Walker’s concern that the fund had been ripped-off became the initial reason for the secret probe. But from that point, Chisholm’s prosecutors operated on a grander theory: that this opening providing them with an excuse to investigate relationships between Walker and Wisconsin’s conservatives..."

It was to go after conservatives - makes Lois Lerner (IRS) look like a saint.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

It's still all in litigation BUT the state [taxpayers] has been having to to pay for the defense of the DA and the prosecutor.

March 4, 2015: "MADISON, Wis. — 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................."

Here is Ed Morrissey’s column in yesterday’s Hot Air where I first saw this story.
