Part
58 of 63 in the series Wisconsin's Secret War
A
year ago, the only mention of a secret John Doe investigation in Wisconsin was
mostly from disgruntled liberals grumbling that fellow Democrat, Milwaukee
County District Attorney John Chisholm, hadn’t been able to indict Republican
Gov. Scott Walker.
In
early March 2013, Chisholm had officially shut down a nearly three-year probe
into former aides and associates of Walker that began when Walker was Milwaukee
County executive. That investigation ended with relatively little to show
for its exhaustive, meandering efforts. The court-administered dragnet picked
up six convictions, only two that had anything to do with the original scope of
the John Doe — the pilfering of cash from a county veterans’ fund. And those
allegations were brought to the DA by Walker’s staff.
