"Investigators were getting close to blowing the case wide open, so said dark money groups poured tons of cash into fighting the investigation by filing frivolous lawsuits on both the state and federal levels. Even though their petitions were full of lies and omissions, the dark money groups were able to get the help of the equally corrupt federal Judge Rudolph Randa and put a temporary halt to the investigation.
One of the multitude of lawsuits filed by the Wisconsin Club for Growth accuses the Government Accountability Board of exceeding its authority in the second investigation. Stemming from that lawsuit, as it usual the case with these fools, they give away more of what they are trying to hide, including other people involved in their scandal."
"The scary part about all this is that these cases are headed to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which has agreed to hear at least some of them. Four out of the seven justices are beholden to the dark money special interests that are behind these lawsuits and don't seem likely to recuse themselves like ethical judges would do."

(1,850 posts)but this is getting ridiculous. They have been trying, literally for years, to get something on him, but they can't. And at this point, it's safe to say they won't. Furthermore, the weird "John Doe Investigation" rules mean that one side can say or leak anything they want, and the target--and it's affected more people than just Walker--are unable to respond publicly. It appears unfair, and it actually is unfair.
It's starting to look like harassment.

(18,964 posts)...is that the dark money groups knew that they owned the Wisconsin Supreme Court and "gamed" the lawsuits to get the case there.
this is the sick truth.
Was the John Doe frivolous? Don't think so...with the info that has come out in the emails, there was/is more than enough probable cause to bring Walker to court...(IMHO of course)
