Rick Perry not alone in Democrat Retaliation

Good day all. As you know, Governor Rick Perry was indicted for the crime of doing his job by a corrupt District Attorney in Texas. While the prosecutorial abuse and misconduct by the Travis County District Attorney’s offices is well known, (See Ronnie Earle), it isn’t the only case of misconduct by a Progressive Liberal Fascist Democrat prosecutor.

There was another case that was recently shut down by a judge that went on for two years in Wisconsin. This case probably is worse then what the IRS and Lois Lerner tried to do against the Conservative and Tea Party groups. Here are some of the details from the Wisconsin Reporter:

Conservative targets of a Democrat-launched John Doe investigation have described the secret probe as a witch hunt. That might not be a big enough descriptor, based on records released Friday by a federal appeals court as part of a massive document dump.

Attorneys for conservative activist Eric O’Keefe and the Wisconsin Club for Growth point to subpoenas requested by John Doe prosecutors that sought records from “at least eight phone companies” believed to serve the targets of the investigation. O’Keefe and the club have filed a civil rights lawsuit against John Doe prosecutors, alleging they violated conservatives’ First Amendment rights. Subpoenas also demanded the conservatives’ bank records, “emails from every major private email provider” and other information in what some have described as a mini-NSA (National Security Agency) operation in Wisconsin.

“In fact, Defendants’ submissions confirm and expand upon the scope and intensity of retaliation previously demonstrated,” O’Keefe’s attorney wrote in documents ordered unsealed by the 7^th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals.

I haven’t this investigation closely but became aware of it last year. This investigation, and I use the term advisedly, started when Governor Scott Walker began his reforms. Since the PLFD’s were unable to win in the legislature, or with their attempt to recall Governor Scott, they went to the next step, trying to destroy the conservative infrastructure that helped get him and others elected.

The documents raise serious concerns about the tactics of Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm, two of his assistant DAs and others involved in the investigation targeting dozens of conservatives. Chisholm, a Democrat, launched the dragnet two years ago, and, according to court documents, with the help of the state Government Accountability Board, the probe was expanded to five counties. The John Doe proceeding compelled scores of witnesses to testify, and a gag order compelled them to keep their mouths shut or face jail time. Sources have described predawn “paramilitary-style” raids in which their possessions were rifled through and seized by law enforcement officers.

This sounds like something you would see in the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany, not in the United States. Using heavily armed SWAT teams for what amounts to simple search in what might be a white collar crime smacks of the KGB or the Gestapo. So what was the “reasoning” of Chisolm and has band of thugs?

Prosecutors have operated the secret investigation under the legal theory that at least 29 conservative organizations may have illegally coordinated with Gov. Scott Walker’s campaign during Wisconsin’s partisan political recalls of 2011 and 2012.

That’s a very interesting legal theory. Pity the judges didn’t buy it.

Two judges, including the federal judge presiding over the civil rights lawsuit, have said the prosecutors’ theory doesn’t hold water. The presiding John Doe judge quashed subpoenas issued in the raids because prosecutors failed to show evidence that a crime had been committed.

Evidence? Since when has a PLFD lawyer ever needed evidence when it comes to investigating persecuting conservatives? Due Process only exists for the PLFD’s and their allies, not for Conservative groups, Republicans or the average person. From what I read, these “John Doe” warrants were meant for one purpose only. Suppression of the constitutional rights of the people and groups targeted by Chisolm and his friends. When served with these warrants and subpena’s, and usually at gunpoint it seems, the victims weren’t even allowed to talk about what was happening to them. If they did, this crooked DA would have them thrown in prison.

Now that the persecution has been stopped by the courts, the victims of Chisolm’s actions are now taking him and his office to court. Eric O’Keefe and the Wisconsin Club for Growth are suing Chisolm and the other prosecutors for willful violation of the civil rights of the conservative people and groups including the active suppression of their First Amendment rights of free speech.

I don’t know what political or legislative remedies are available in Wisconsin with regards to removing a sitting District Attorney, however, if there is one, Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm has certainly earned being the recipient of some sort of sanction, and I hope removal from office. If the civil suit against him succeeds, then he and the others named in it should be forced to pay the judgments out of their own pockets. The taxpayers of Milwaukee County, or the state of Wisconsin should not be held liable for the abuse of power by a corrupt individual. District Attorney’s and prosecutors, such as John Chisolm, are one reason I want to see a reform put in place that criminally punishes them for abusing their authority. In the last ten years, we’ve had Ronnie Earle in Texas, federal prosecutors who went after Senator Ted Stevens, (R-Alaska), Michael Nyfong and the three Duke University students he tried to railroad into prison on false charges, and recently District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg.

Prosecutors are granted enormous powers and the danger to the citizens if they abuse them in the name of politics is terrifying. Prosecutors MUST be above politics in the performance of their duties. If they start playing games, then people begin to see that the system is rigged against them and that they don’t have any chance at all of a fair investigation or hearing. When that happens, and someone decides they have nothing left to loose, then they may decide it’s time to open the 4^th box of liberty and fertilize the tree of liberty.
