John Doe laws dating back to the 19th century in Wisconsin allow DAs to hold secret panels, compel people to give testimony and turn over documents. To take advantage of the loopholes was Prosecutor John Chisholm, a partisan hack who had a vendetta against Scott Walker.
The corruption extends to judges, police officers, lawyers and to at least one newspaper, the Journal Sentinel.
In a September 9, 2014 article, former Milwaukee police officer Michael Lutz, who for several months served as an unpaid special prosecutor in Chisholm’s office, said that Milwaukee County DA John Chisholm, a Democrat, told him in March 2011 about his contempt for Walker.
“He felt it was his personal duty to stop people from being treated like this, to stop Walker from treating people like this,” Lutz told Wisconsin Reporter. It wasn’t only Walker who suffered under the partisan left’s malice, it was anyone surrounding Walker.
Lutz (photo below), who is a retired disabled police officer, went to law school and had been friends with the Chisholms, even giving to Chisholm’s campaign, but he couldn’t live with the way they were going after opponents. He has paid dearly for telling the truth.
Dan Bice (photo below) of the Journal Sentinel went after Lutz, smearing him and falsely accusing him of issuing “death threats,” destroying his reputation and his credibility.
Lutz says his law practice has been ruined because he has been blacklisted. No other attorneys will speak out against Chisholm and his corrupt crew because they too will lose their practices.
The prosecutor, John Chisholm (photo below), is described as “hyper-partisan” in a “hyper-partisan” district, and used the John Doe process against Scott Walker, depriving him and anyone associated with him of their constitutional rights, as Walker began his rise to power and became a potential candidate for governor.
Chisholm’s wife is a teachers’-union shop steward who was distraught over Act 10’s union reforms. She is alleged by Lutz to have spurred Chisholm on as it was his “personal duty to stop him.” When the attempts at stopping the union reforms failed, Chisholm found other fertile ground and a very cooperative Judge Barbara Kluka.
Wisconsin has been using John Doe laws in lieu of the grand jury process since the early 19th century. It gives the prosecutor additional powers, powers that can be used to deprive people of constitutional protections and attack political opponents.
In Wisconsin, the law allows a prosecutor to go to a judge with a “suspicion” and the judge can sign off and let the prosecutor bring in witnesses they can force to testify in secrecy. Federal grand juries operate all the time in Wisconsin but they have rules about secrecy and timelines that John Dow laws do not have.
In the hands of the corrupt prosecutor, there are no First Amendment rights. There is no due process.
National Review attorney David French has been investigating the use of these laws and what he found should terrify people. Political opponents have been subject to SWAT teams and other law enforcement coming to their homes with battering rams and guns drawn. The teams have torn apart homes and never once gave the victim the benefit of their constitutional rights.
Innocent people with the “wrong” political views were subjected to the same treatment drug dealers receive. Then they were warned not to tell anyone, not even family and to not call a lawyer. It kept the communist-like tyranny a secret from the general public.
Supporters of Governor Walker who were newbies to the political process became the subjects of “multi-year secretive criminal investigations, slanderous and selective leaks to sympathetic media, and intrusive electronic snooping.”
It’s not unlike the IRS targeting.
The Progressives in Wisconsin weaponized law enforcement against their political opponents. It was full-blown tyranny.
Lawsuits followed. The entire affair is one of corruption, deceit, misuse of public office and it is thanks to these lawsuits and people like David French and Michael Lutz that the truth be known. Everyone needs to read the French exposé which can be found on this link.
The law was used as it was never intended to expand investigations of a particular case into people in the Walker administration and Walker himself, all of whom had nothing to do with the original case. That is a tactic used by the Obama administration against political opponents and even the AP.
Sheriff Clarke spoke out courageously last year.
“I wouldn’t trust him to do a thing about it.He sure as hell did nothing as governor.”
He did this as governor, and it was huge.
He sure as hell did nothing as governor.
You are ignorant about what Scott Walker has accomplished as governor.
You guys don’t get it at all. Walker was the target of the trumped up illegal investigation.
He was forced to keep quiet by the same John Doe laws. Responding to it, he was forced to release tens of thousands of emails from his time in County government to prove he wasn’t violating the laws these corrupt shits distorted from our election laws. People on his staff were sent to jail for minor violations so they would turn on him. They prepared a Powerpoint in time for the election saying ‘he was at the center of the conspiracy’ and then they had to retract it. If he had used his executive authority they would have added that to the investigation. When he was asked about it he had to say nothing per the John Doe orders.
He had to let it play out in the courts to show he was innocent.
Walker could only do what he could do, relying on his integrity. Nothing was found in the emails so federal and state judges stopped it. So soon it will be time for the gangsters (Chisolm, Kennedy, Kukla, Dan Bice) to get theirs.
All while fighting a recall election I might add.
LOL - right.
Beyond absurd.
Indeed he was - this information on that part of the bogus investigation that was ordered shut down against him by the courts was leaked out in the middle of his re-election campaign and was a huge deal as the media willfully misreported it as “Scott Walker was under a criminal investigation!” But none of them remember that. And now they’re making like Rush Limbaugh was just now mentioning it. He has mentioned a number of times before. Now more concrete details are out and he spent more time on it. Yet he’s “4 months late.” It’s embarrassing. We’ve got plenty of “low information” types around here even though the information is posted on a daily basis.
FOR TWO DAYS NOW, YOU HAVE BEEN WHINING THAT WALKER WAS SILENT. HE WAS FORCED TO BY LAW. EVERYONE WAS FORCED TO BE SILENT.
INSTEAD OF BEING HORRIFIED BY THIS JAW DROPPING CORRUPTION, YOU WILLFULLY USE THIS TO BASH WALKER.
WHAT A SMALL PERSON YOU ARE.
FURTHERMORE, YOU ARE TOO LAZY TO EVEN READ THE ARTICLE. IF YOU WOULD READ THE ARTICLE, YOU WOULD ACTUALLY BE INFORMED. GOSH, YOU ARE PART OF WHAT IS WRONG IN THIS COUNTRY.
I imagine his ignorance goes well beyond Scott Walker.
Others, however, must be silenced, by whatever means necessary.
I think there used to be a word for this. That word was fascism...
READ THE ARTICLE BEFORE YOU CRITICIZE.
The sinister pure evil of these So called John Doe laws is the accused cannot contact an attorney or even publicly admit they are under suspicion without being jailed. It is real star chamber stuff. Walker would not even be aware of the plight of these people.
These sorts of tyrants like this hack prosecuted are the very ones who would send their opponents to the gas ovens if they thought they could get away with it, actually, come to think if it, Hitlers extermination of the Jews was a secret plan of State terrorism.
Then they have the gall to use it to bash Walker. These dolts don't care they haven't read it, either. Not one of these people I have sent posts to have said they would read it.
We are talking about a group of very shallow people. So lazy intellectually, they don't care about the truth. They see it as nothing more to bash Walker with a short sentence and move on with no interest as to know what happened.
Wanton ignorance is part of the danger this country is in. Those people are no better than Chisolm and Kluka.
+1.
Thank you!

It's the Alinsky way. They know the facts, they're just working hard to turn this to their advantage.
LOL...Insulting me will get you nowhere. As it happens, I am a vet, but not one of those idiots.
I support and will vote for Cruz, and I don’t see Walker the same as you do, and because of that, you think it’s time to trash me. You will not like how this ends. Good night.
How about giving chisholm a taste of his own medicine and the governor applying this john doe law against him
Part of the legal push-back against Chisholm’s political buzz saw is to fix the John Doe law - it was meant to PROTECT innocent people, but Chisholm (like the good Nazi he is) used it to gag conservatives while looking though every nook and cranny of their private lives.
I think it’s proof that they already ARE afraid of this man.
Any and every conservative candidate is a walking target. Recall Sarah Palin in 2008, and again in 2012. They went so far as burning and occupied church in her case.
And the sad thing is, the GOP (aka the Moderate Wing of the Uniparty) are willing collaborators.
