MADISON, Wis. – Today, Attorney General Brad Schimel filed a letter with Wisconsin Supreme Court Chief Justice Patience Roggensack requesting the Wisconsin Supreme Court appoint a special master to investigate the breach of the secrecy orders in the John Doe case related to the September 14, 2016, article published in The Guardian newspaper. The letter also requests the special master investigate and confirm the final disposition of the unlawfully seized evidence in this case.
Attorney General Schimel committed investigatory support and legal advice from the Wisconsin Department of Justice to any special master the Court appoints.
The entire John Doe investigation has been a horrible miscairrage of justice that violated the civil rights of dozens of people. Someone needs to watch the watchdogs and I’m glad that the Attorney General is stepping up to the plate. Now the Supreme Court needs to get moving.
Schimel is not even close to playing on the level of liberal Chisolm. He needs to prosecute the Chisolm investigation with same vigor Chisolm showed. The difference is: Schimel will be investigating actual crimes and corruption.
I agree there has been a miscarriage of justice….the damn supreme court cutting off an investigation that was on track to show a coordination that violated Wisconsin statutes!
