| Wisconsin prosecutors seek ruling to restart Gov. Walker probe |
| 2014-09-10 |
| [Chicago Tribune] Wisconsin prosecutors on Tuesday are asking a federal appeals court to allow them to restart an investigation into possible illegal coordination between Governor Scott Walker's campaign and special interest groups during elections in 2011 and 2012. The investigation was halted in May by U.S. District Court Judge Rudolph Randa, who ruled in favor of Wisconsin Club for Growth, which filed a federal lawsuit in an attempt to halt an investigation launched in 2012 by Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm, a Democrat. The conservative organization in February accused Sherlocks of sidelining them from political activities, violating their rights to free speech, association and equal protection. Lawyers for special prosecutors and for the Wisconsin Club for Growth will argue the case before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit Tuesday afternoon in Chicago. Neither Walker, a potential Republican White House hopeful in 2016, nor anyone else has been charged in the investigation launched in August 2012 under a Wisconsin law that requires such probes to be conducted in secret. |

| #3 Mr Walker should make it the law than convicted drink drivers cannot be employed by the state. |

| #2 One of those made up scandals to knock him out of the running such as with Gov. Perry in Texas. It is what the left does--it is in their playbook--maybe in their genes. |

| #1 Wisconsin prosecutors seek ruling to restart Gov. Walker probe And the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel and the Madison State Journal (plus the local TV minions) will be the prosecutors' standard-bearers. Walker IS up for re-election this fall against their D-MoonBat Limo-Liberal Sweetheart, Mary Burke. |
