New ethics complaint filed against former Wis. Supreme Court judge over efforts to upend election
A third stinging ethics complaint has been filed against a former Wisconsin Supreme Court judge for his highly paid activities as a lawyer to trash the state's 2020 presidential vote.
The 108-page complaint by progressive legal firm Law Forward argues that Michael Gableman repeatedly violated state Supreme Court rules for attorneys and the oath he took as an lawyer as he led a 13-month review of baseless claims into election fraud. It called the probe a "taxpayer-funded boondoggle." A Wispolitics.com analysis found that the cost of of Gableman’s review totaled more than $2 million in public funds .
Gablemen uncovered no election irregularities in his extensive review.
Gableman repeatedly "misrepresented" his findings and used his role as the "special counsel" head of the investigation to harass his enemies, according to the complaint. He was eventually fired from his role by the speaker of the state Assembly, the Wisconsin Examiner reported.
