U.S. SUPREME COURT REJECTS WISCONSIN PROSECUTORS’ JOHN DOE APPEAL.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rejected an appeal by three Democratic district attorneys seeking to revive a criminal investigation into Gov. Scott Walker’s recall campaign — effectively ending the legal wrangling over the four-year-old probe.

The decision marks a major victory for Walker and his Republican allies, who mounted a vigorous challenge to the secretive, so-called John Doe II investigation that involved investigators issuing dozens of subpoenas and seizing equipment and millions of documents from those under investigation.

In a statement Monday, Walker said the U.S. Supreme Court, Wisconsin Supreme Court and other judges have all reached the same conclusion — “that this investigation by prosecutors was without merit and thus must be ended.”

“I applaud the individuals and organizations who fought for and successfully defended their First Amendment rights against political opponents who wanted to silence them,” Walker said.

Eric O’Keefe, president of the Wisconsin Club for Growth, the tax-exempt organization at the center of Walker’s political operation to stave off the 2011 and 2012 recalls, called the case “a politically motivated attack and a criminal investigation in search of a theory.”

He told a conservative radio host Monday that Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm, whose office launched the investigation in August 2012, should be removed from office.

“We call upon the prosecutors to admit their wrongdoing and close their files,” O’Keefe said in a statement. “They should end their desperate rear-guard action, surrender these unlawfully seized materials, and submit to the lawful authority of the court system.”

It was Gangster Government all along.
