District attorney’s wife drove case against Wis. Gov. Walker, insider says
Washington Examiner ^ | September 9, 2014 | Staff Writer

Posted on 09/09/2014 1:28:01 PM PDT by Mygirlsmom

a longtime Chisholm subordinate reveals for the first time in this article that the district attorney may have had personal motivations for his investigation. Chisholm told him and others that Chisholm’s wife, Colleen, a teacher’s union shop steward at St. Francis high school, a public school near Milwaukee, had been repeatedly moved to tears by Walker’s anti-union policies in 2011, according to the former staff prosecutor in Chisholm’s office. Chisholm said in the presence of the former prosecutor that his wife “frequently cried when discussing the topic of the union disbanding and the effect it would have on the people involved … She took it personally.”

Citing fear of retaliation, the former prosecutor declined to be identified and has not previously talked to reporters.

Chisholm added, according to that prosecutor, that “he felt that it was his personal duty to stop Walker from treating people like this.”

Whoa. Sounds like someone has been off her meds and needs to be committed.

In a time when the rule of law is being seriously undermined, let’s call prosecutorial misconduct for what it is: treason. These prosecutors should be hanged.

Nothing unusual. The northerners from NY, PA, NJ, and MA move down there for retirement and bring their voting patterns with them. Just looking at the license plates in December, you’d think you were on the NJ Turnpike instead of I-95.................

No mention of the effect it would have on the students, I notice.

You're not from 'round here, are you?

It's been well documented that this (and worse) is typical of many of the teacher's union faithful in WI.

If Walker ever runs for prez, it’ll be the Rovian RINOpubs with joining the rats with long knives out for him.

The dumbass wife defense didn’t work for McDonald in VA last week. They’re both going to jail for too many shopping sprees with somebody else’s money. This Wisconsin bunch needs to have their money tracked also. They spent a lot giving Scott a hard time.

“Did Wisconsin have Cavalry in the Civil War?”

No cavalry, but Wisconsin had an eagle named “Old Abe.”

Basically, it’s typical union thug tactics. Wisconsin teachers thought they should be immune from having to pay towards their retirement like all other Wisconsin residents. Walker made them pay a little bit, and they couldn’t stand it. Touchy subject with one of my sisters as her husband is a retired, Wisc. public school teacher. He retired at 55 after thirty years teaching. They’re both strong libs.
