Wisconsin Tyranny – Leftists Use Force to Silence Political Opponents Like Scott Walker

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.

You know, Cruz is a classy guy and I’d be happy to support him. Being a classy guy, I don’t think he’d want to be supported by dishonest and/or ignorant postings like yours.

If you don’t have something informed to say about the John Doe situation why not stay silent?

[sgtyork]

Yes, it was once a place of really solid discussions and traded knowledge...tribute to conservatism.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Can walker shut off the funding for chisolms office?

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Ok now that this has been exposed why cant the governor do something about Chisolm and his abuse of his office?

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,

Exactly right. I suspect Ted Cruz would be appalled by this behavior. I'm a Ted Cruz supporter, but I have a ton of respect for what Scott Walker and conservatives in Wisconsin have persevered through. Using the Nazi behavior of Chisholm and his ilk to bash Walker is downright dirty.

hese 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.

I *wanted* to read the article, but then you were such a ****k that it made it impossible.

You are the *cause* of people not reading the article.

[Lazamataz]

ou 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.

Walker did very well. He showed me he is capable of national politics and the treachery therein he will face.

I would vote for Walker in a heartbeat.

I still, however, feel that Dave W is a ****k.

[Chickensoup]

No, not behind bars. This sort of overreaching and cronyism needs to be cut short.

This is a capitol offense.

[humblegunner]

Your caps-lock key is stuck.

[1010RD]

Define ‘best choice’.

[Does so]

Saw Walker interviewed by Fox. He is not what we need in a president.

I heard Walker speak yesterday, and noted that he chooses his words carefully. I expect him to become more assertive in voice as the Convention approaches. Between Walker and Cruz, Democrat-thug evils will get the increasing exposure it deserves. (Like the "John Doe" evils).

“All while fighting a recall election I might add.”

And having his CHILDREN threatened (one arrest on that), a threat that his wife would be ‘gutted like a deer’ and the family home (where his parents reside) stalked and staked out and harassed 24/7!

The Socialist Progs in this state are certifiable! Power-mad, ruthless Unionista and Ivory Tower mongrels without a shred of decency.

You dorks outside of Wisconsin have no idea what’s been going on. None, whatsoever. So, STFU. (Not you, sgtyork!)

Love My Gov!

[Lazamataz]

When I see someone post all in caps, I realize they are either new to the internet, or an a-hole.

Dave is the second option.

[Lazamataz]

I love you. Seriously. Walker appeals to me BECAUSE he endured this. If he can make it through this, national politics will be a breeze for him.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

And, I’ll ALSO add - what are YOU doing in your OWN state to fight tyranny such as this?

Think it can’t happen to you? Think again.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

You just love me for my Governor, not because I’m a rockin’ hot ConservaBabe! ;)

*SMOOCH*

[Lazamataz]

That, plus you make a mean sammich. :)

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Well, there IS that skill...
