Wisconsin judge rejects attempt to block election subpoena

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin judge on Monday rejected an attempt by the state’s Democratic attorney general to block a subpoena issued by a Republican-hired attorney seeking to interview the state’s chief elections administrator as part of his investigation into the 2020 election.

The ruling from Dane County Circuit Judge Rhonda Lanford is a victory for Michael Gableman, a former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice who was hired last year by Republicans to investigate the election. But it’s not going to end the ongoing legal fight over subpoenas he has issued.

Gableman issued subpoenas to the mayors and elections officials in the state’s five largest cities, as well as to Meagan Wolfe, administrator of the Wisconsin Elections Commission. Gableman filed a separate pending lawsuit in Waukesha County asking a judge to jail the mayors of Madison and Green Bay if they don’t comply. The judge there scheduled a hearing for Jan. 21.

Attorney General Josh Kaul filed a lawsuit seeking a temporary injunction to block the subpoena seeking records from the commission and a private interview with Wolfe.

Lanford, in Monday’s ruling, declined the attorney general’s attempt to block the subpoena of Wolfe. Gableman argued that the lawsuit should be dismissed, but Lanford declined to do that.

This would not be happening if the media/deep state/ruling elite still maintained control of the narrative and information flow, as they did for most of the last 50 years.

It doesn't matter now.

See how that works? Also, it's a courtesy between judges, now that the Trump election challenge ship has sailed.

Not sure why they keep fighting. Why not just answer the questions truthfully? Unless...

The Socialist Democrats in charge of this last election are all criminal misfits, hellbent on retaining power at all costs. The socialist enclaves of Racine, Brown, Dane & Milwaukee Counties had all the cheating. Biden ‘beat’ Trump by a mere 20K votes in all of Wisconsin, and funny how THOSE counties had all kinds of voting irregularities; they only needed a few thousand each to pull it off.

They’ll delay, lie, & obfuscate as long as they possibly can.

The money from Zuckerberg was flowing into our state like you wouldn’t believe! Brown County (Green Bay area) had Zuck-backed henchmen come in and basically take over from the regular poll operators in that city. There were also major problems with their Mayoral election, too.

And what’s with Biden winning in those counties and NO OTHER Socialist Democrats winning down ticket? That. Does. Not. Happen.

That beotch, Meagan Wolfe, seriously needs some time behind the woodshed. She’s just an awful human being. She a TOTAL, unprofessional SNOT on all the radio interviews I’ve heard with her. How DARE anyone question her honesty!

*SPIT*
