The Other Shoe Drops for Scott Walker. Another John Doe Probe Revealed and It's Statewide!
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/10/21/1249353/-The-Other-Shoe-Drops-for-Scott-Walker-Another-John-Doe-Probe-Revealed-and-It-s-Statewide?detail=email
Is THIS why the Milwaukee John Doe Probe closed with a whimper?
This is the type of news that normally dumps out late on Friday, but here it is first thing on Monday. Better yet, this probe was going on BEFORE the Milwaukee County John Doe Probe closed after the conviction of Kelly Reindfleisch, the former top aide to County Executive Scott Walker and 6th associate of his to be charged and convicted.
Bruce Landsgraf handled most of the Milwaukee County John Doe cases and ended the case against Reindfleisch with recitation of a litany of wrongdoings in the Milwaukee County Executives office. That long list led many of us to suspect additional charges and more revelations in the near future ..........
A former top-level assistant U.S. attorney has been appointed a special prosecutor in a burgeoning, secret investigation into a wide variety of state issues, including possible campaign violations during the recent recall elections, multiple sources said.
Francis Schmitz who spent nearly 30 years as a federal prosecutor and was once a finalist for U.S. attorney in Milwaukee is leading the widespread John Doe probe, according to sources.
Overseeing the case is Kenosha County Circuit Judge Barbara A. Kluka, who has been used by Milwaukee County judicial officials in past John Doe cases.
