Thanks!
Still hard to understand why Gov. Walker has not led the charge against the John Doe law, though. He is, after all, the Governor.
The law actually can “gag” the Governor?
If you are the governor, and you are told you are subject to investigation in Wisconsin’s John Doe, then yes, you can be gagged. Listening carefully to Walker throughout, you could tell he was getting legal advice every step of the way.
Does protesting too much under these leaked investigation innuendoes make you look guilty???….
———the “John Doe” investigation – so-named because the prosecutors, under a unique feature of Wisconsin law, can swear everyone involved to secrecy, preventing the targets from defending themselves to the public – was quite effective. It’s undoubtedly one of the reasons Walker’s re-election race is so close.

The court-sanctioned dragnet has subpoenaed more than 100 conservative and free-market activists. Though gagged by provisions of the subpoenas, several sources have told Wisconsin Reporter the manifold legal attack on nonprofit political organizations has included pre-dawn raids on homes and offices; confiscated equipment and files; and demands for phone, email and other records.
The sources have asked to remain anonymous due to their proximity to the investigation or to people connected to it.
