#1 Yet these 'proscutors' haven't filed charges? And precisely what law was broken? Gee, that seems like something real prosecutors are required by both the canons of ethics and the law requires them to do... Or maybe they just want to surrender their law licenses now and avoid the rush.

#2 "This is just a spoiling attack to try to keep him out of action for 2016," says Instapundit.

#3 Walker looks like the best potential candidate in the Republican stable - attacks like this suggest the Democrats agree. How he handles them will determine viability.

#4 This means they're afraid of him. If they are that afraid, he must run.

#5 Walker is under EXTREME attack from the NEA, unions, and local Madison left. There are marches and protests in on or near the State Capital nearly weekly. The Feds fund and monitor the Wisconsin Gov't Accountability Board and election process very, very carefully. If there was an once of truth to this and the long list of other accusations, they would appear here.

#6 the Milwaukee journal has an intentionally misleading headline

it should have been

"John Doe gang falsely alleged..."

that is what two judges found

#7 "You've got two judges, both a state judge and a federal judge, who said that they didn't buy into the argument that has been presented at this point,"

Typical donk strategy: Stir up trouble where there isn't any. File under BOGUS CLAIMS and/or metastatic growths.

#8 The Federal Judges found that Walker and his administrative staff didn't do any campaign work on Wisconsin's dime. The governor, and campaign staff, did campaign and work with 'outside groups' to help him get re-elected during off-time. Both actions are legal, therefor both the John Doe investigations had no merit in investigating Walker or his administrative staff. That put the left into a spin.

In disclosure, the original John Doe did find a couple of Walker's staff, when he was the Milwaukee County Administrator, working on campaigns during 'work' hours. They weren't campaigning for Walker, though. Walker actually instigated the first investigation. These two were fired. The Dem prosecutors decided that, once they had a toe-hold, they go for bigger fish.

Now that the sealed John Doe documents are released as requested by the 'Club for Growth', it now becomes a serious issue for the prosecutors in revealing what extent they (the prosecutors) actually broke the law in this investigation. The full disclosures required by Club For Growth's counter-suit would require full discovery.

From what I'm hearing locally, the prosecutors records contain numerous instances where they collaborated heavily with the 'D' party both locally and nationally during the 2012 recall election AND released personal records of the folks they were investigating to these same groups.

Recently, these investigators approached the Governor's lawyer to cut a deal stopping the investigation (and removing future 'Discovery' in the process). Don't believe Walker would agree to that, though.

The left and media (well, kinda the same) will throw a very few selective pieces of these investigations into the air for us to view. Mostly in the form of 'Walker Was Accused Of...' The 'ballast' will remain invisible.

#9 just like the media kept the Iran Contra controversy and the "Iran Hostage to screw Carter" conspiracy alive in the news for both of Reagan's terms.

They use the same play book over and over again...

#10 they're really afraid of him, aren't they?

#11 Yes, they are.

#12 There are marches and protests in on or near the State Capital nearly weekly.

Not just weekly, Every D*mn Day, Mr. B.

Going in or near the Capitol in Madison during the week is to run the gauntlet of 'Screamers'.

#13 I couldn't take it Rich. Maybe out in Green County, near New Glarus. I'm too old for Mad City and the nut cases.

#14 Two courts did not find anything. However, the Donk prosecutor has appealed to the U.S. 7th Circuit. Jeeze, these donk prosecutors are like Gila Monsters; they take a bite in the morning and don't let go until sundown--give Pit Bulls a bad name.

#15 Prosecutorial misconduct. Hmm.

Option 1. Complain to a judge.

Option 2. Complain to the state Bar.

Option 3. Get sound and pictures on the prosecutor. How, do you think for one minute that these slime-balls are Boy Scouts?

#16 File charges against the prosecutors for libel and slander if they continue to make public assertions after 2 judges have already dismissed their cases. Both prosecuors re COUNTY prosecutors, and both of them ar Dems and in lefty pockets - very very very partisan. And the JournoSent prints lies in banner headlines.
