Left-Wing Prosecutorial Crusaders Spied on Wisconsin Republicans, Defied Court Orders
Townhall ^ | Dec 07, 2017 | Guy Benson

the Left engaged in gross abuses of criminal law to intimidate, harass and silence conservatives in the state. The specifics were chilling -- from pre-dawn raids on political activists' homes, to stifling gag orders preventing them from saying a peep about what was happening to them, all in pursuit of criminalizing and punishing the Badger State conservative movement.

Eventually, one target violated his gag order and blew the whistle on the whole operation, eventually leading to investigations of the investigations, and multiple courts shutting down the witch hunts with extreme prejudice.

...

ruthless the Left had become in its efforts to exact personal and legal vengeance on the political forces that had defeated them in a series of major electoral and policy battles in Madison. It was a disgrace. But it turns out that we didn't know just how disgraceful it was. New documents released yesterday demonstrate the extent to which Democratic "John Doe" prosecutors and officials engaged in truly astonishing abuses against a wider array of political figures than was previously known, including compiling prominent conservative lawmakers' personal emails (including messages about medical records) in a file marked "opposition research," in addition to simply disregarding adverse judicial rulings.

...

Wisconsin’s infamous John Doe investigation was more sinister and politically driven than originally reported.

...

The Wisconsin AG's office concluded that it couldn't file charges against the responsible parties, in part because key evidence mysteriously vanished. Is anyone terribly surprised by this?

...

Rotten to the core. Documents show that officials at the now-defunct and Orwellian 'Government Accountability Board' kept sifting through "evidence" even after a judge specifically ordered them not to:

...

Wisconsin DOJ's report finds the GAB attorneys just kept right on going with the witch hunt even after being ordered to stop by the judge.

“When will these saboteurs be tried, convicted and jailed? There is no justice for the victims of these despots if they don’t get punished.”

And this is why they do it. There is no fear of any retribution or justice. Throw one or two in prison for 25 years and it will stop. Especially after the prison rape by the entire cell block goes public.

Not surprised. We're going to find out that the Obama administration did the same thing to the Trump campaign and other political opponents. DemonRATs are despicable.

The lawless left has been caught doing unthinkable criminal acts YET, no one has gone to jail for ANY of it. I cannot believe, in this day and age, that evidence “mysteriously” disappears. Yet, we pursue and arrest people when NO CRIME has been committed, as long as they are conservative? NUTZ!!

Most if not all of this has been known, but now it will be harder for the prove to spin it into anything but what it was: a political witch-hunt instigated by the spoiled left-wing brats who failed to stop Gov. Walker’s reforms at the ballot box and through the courts.

Why is there not an active Federal civil rights investigation into this?

You reverse the parties on this and this would be the lead item on every national newscast, probably taking up half the newscast, including 60 Minutes, Dateline NBC news special - and rightfully so. This behavior was nothing short of barbaric. However, since it was the Dems who did it and Republicans were victims, not a single, solitary second of news coverage will be given.

Law, and order, rules and regulations, all of these are for ‘other people.’ The end ALWAYS justifies the means.

This would be prime-time news on the cable-news and broadcast-news channels, if the U.S. had a truly “free press”, which would be one that is not the virtual media arm of the Democrats, Progressives and Marxists.

Wholeheartedly agree, apart from the “few” modifier.
