The Republican majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court thought that they killed the Scott Walker corruption case over the summer, but prosecutors arent giving up and are preparing to file an appeal to the US Supreme Court.
According to the Journal-Sentinel:
Three district attorneys have moved to intervene in litigation over a closed investigation into Gov. Scott Walkers campaign and conservative groups, a move aimed at bringing the case before the U.S. Supreme Court.
The motion was filed under seal Friday by Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm along with two other prosecutors involved in the secret John Doe probe.None of them responded to requests for comment.
At the heart of the matter is that two Republican Wisconsin Supreme Court justices benefited from spending by the same dark money groups that prosecutors believe illegally coordinated with Walker.

A couple of crooked "Justices" may also be in the same cell with him.

Just seeing his name in print makes my hatred of Republicans go super-nova.

If you haven't seen it it is on Netflix and a truly fascinating binge watch.

(21,506 posts)It was mind boggling. I found myself screaming at the TV over and over.
I am not sure Steve is innocent, but the behavior of the police force and DA was unbelievable.
One of the most fascinating documentaries I have ever seen.
Like you it didn't leave me with a lot of hope for Wisconsin. It does kind of explain walkers ability to thrive there.
