Federal Panel Suggests Koch-Tied Judge Overreached When He Halted Walker Probe
Federal Judge Rudolph Randa may have overreached when he halted the state criminal investigation into Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and allied groups, a panel of federal appellate judges suggested on Tuesday.

The prosecutor, then-U.S. Attorney Steven Biskupic, alleged that she was steering a contract to a favored company.
(Biskupic is now Walkers attorney. His wife is Randas assistant. What a small world.)
The three appeals court judges in Chicago heard Thompsons appeal and immediately released her. They called the evidence used against her beyond thin, which has got to be pretty embarrassing for Randa and Biskupic.
The same three judgesChief District Judge Diane Wood, Frank Easterbrook and William Baueralso stayed Randas order to destroy the evidence collected in this case. ...
