Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's spokesman and two others have been granted immunity in an investigation of the Republican governor's current and former aides.

Retired Waukesha County Judge Neal Nettesheim is overseeing a secret investigation into people who worked for Walker.

Waukesha, said Friday that he granted immunity to Walker spokesman Cullen Werwie, Ken Lucht and Roseann Dieck, "more than 60 days ago," during the course of a "secret John Doe investigation" in which witnesses can be compelled to testify under oath about potential criminal matters, (and) allows witnesses to be subpoenaed, while forbidding them from talking publicly about the case.

State Attorney General J.Van Hollen was asked months ago to assist in a secret investigation… the request was made around the time of the November 2010 election.

For a secret investigation, we sure have been reading a lot about it lately.

If they would have had that type of secret investigation when Clinton was governor of Arkansas..........he would probably still be in jail........

They don't seem to give a reason as to why they started this secret investigation in the first place. I am sure that if you got real picky you could probably find anyone guilty on these charges or at least try to drum something up. This is really outrageous.

Probablythe Unions - they hate secret ballots, but being leftists, know that secrecy is the best way to hurt an enemy.

The whole thing started becuase some lady wrote Walker-favorable comments on some blog, while she was working at her state job during the election period.

This is more lefty witch hunting/Walker-stalking. Lefties can do far worse and nary a mention in the papers, let alone a secret John Doe investigation - which always end up convicting someone of something.
