Madison's Capitol Times shares this little tidbit from wingnut la-la land:
A conservative news website is reporting that right-wing organizations are the target of a new John Doe probe launched by the Milwaukee County district attorney.
"For the second time in three and a half years, a Democrat District Attorney of Milwaukee County has launched a secret investigation into conservatives, with the apparent goal of bringing down Gov. Scott Walker," writes Wisconsin Reporter, which is part of a national network of conservative investigative news websites run by the Franklin Center for Government and Public Integrity, a libertarian group based in Virginia.
Targeted organizations include the Republican Governors Association, the Club for Growth and Americans for Prosperity, a group largely financed by Charles and David Koch. WR reports that Milwaukee County Assistant District Attorney Bruce Landgraf is investigating these groups for alleged campaign finance law violations, likely in connection with efforts that benefited Gov. Scott Walker or legislative Republicans.
There have been some excellent diaries recently on all the electoral shenanigans going on in Wisconsin, including diaries by
Eman and
Puddytat. This second John Doe investigation only recently came to light, and leaks have been almost non-existent. But the fact that Wisconsin Reporter is pre-emptively lashing out is interesting to say the least.
For almost three years, the Wisconsin GOP and its leaders have been drunk with power. Cutting corners, ignoring laws and rolling in dark money are just standard operating procedure. Let's hope it is all about to catch up with them.
