In unprecedented move, Justice Michael Gableman asks for reconsideration of Kelly Rindfleisch appeal

"You may remember Kelly Rindfleisch was convicted of Misconduct in Public Office in 2012 after an investigation revealed she was engaging in political work on behalf of then-Lieutenant Governor candidate Brett Davis while working on taxpayer time for Milwaukee County. Notably, evidence showed Rindfleisch engaged in copious amounts of illegal activity during her time as one of Scott Walker’s closest aides, which given the fact that she had knowledge of the infamous caucus scandal, resulting in Rindfleisch being ordered to testify in exchange for not being prosecuted as part of the caucus scandal, which involved widespread illegal campaign activities on state time among legislative staffers.

Justice Gableman’s unprecedented request to have the Wisconsin Supreme Court revisit their decision not to hear the appeal of Kelly Rindfleisch seems to me to be yet another example of the lengths conservatives in Wisconsin are willing to go to in order to protect one of their own. It’s clear to any reasonable, rational person that Rindfleisch was guilty as hell of the crime she was convicted of, but I suppose her conviction is nothing but an albatross around Gov. Scott Walker’s neck as he prepares to run for president, so it makes sense that conservatives would work to overturn her conviction."
