Scott Walker was target of the John Doe all along



http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/local/govt-and-politics/gab-official-scott-walker-was-always-the-principal-target-of/article_51aa480a-0ec7-5922-8c05-c1fa825471a7.html

Gov. Scott Walker “was always the principal target” of a now-halted criminal investigation into his recall campaign, the state’s top ethics administrator wrote in a June 2014 email released Friday.

The email from Government Accountability Board Ethics Division Administrator Jonathan Becker was written within minutes of special prosecutor Francis Schmitz issuing a statement on June 26, 2014, saying Walker was not a target of the probe. The Wisconsin Supreme Court ended the investigation in July saying the investigation’s legal theory was invalid.

“I am thoroughly disgusted by your proposed press statement and it is simply not true,” Becker wrote. “The other side wants to obfuscate the case and make it seem like we are attacking independent (groups) and it needs to be clear that we are investigating a CANDIDATE’S improper coordination.”

EDIT: Hopefully the supreme court takes this case up now. The attorneys were granted an extention to file until March 31 iirc.
