Homes raided, subpoenas issued targeting conservative groups and allies of Scott Walker | Capitol City Project
In Wisconsin, dozens of conservative groups and allies of Gov. Scott Walker are undergoing political intimidation from the left at the hands of a special prosecutor.
Subpoenas have been issued demanding correspondence and donor information of right-leaning organizations and individuals and raids have been conducted resulting in law enforcement officers taking computers and files in a secret investigation, according to reports.
In recent weeks, special prosecutor Francis Schmitz has hit dozens of conservative groups with subpoenas demanding documents related to the 2011 and 2012 campaigns to recall Governor Walker and state legislative leaders, the Wall Street Journal writes.
It continues, Copies of two subpoenas weve seen demand all memoranda, email . . . correspondence, and communications both internally and between the subpoena target and some 29 conservative groups, including Wisconsin and national nonprofits, political vendors and party committees. The groups include the League of American Voters, Wisconsin Family Action, Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, Americans for ProsperityWisconsin, American Crossroads, the Republican Governors Association, Friends of Scott Walker and the Republican Party of Wisconsin.
The WSJ says the latest actions are taking place under Wisconsins John Doe law, which makes it difficult for the groups involved to defend themselves publicly.
This is a taxpayer-funded, opposition-research campaign, one source said. This is not a question of what conservatives did wrong. Its a question of one party in this state using prosecutorial powers to conduct a one-sided investigation into conservatives.
Investigators are spying on people and using the power of government to collect records, said another source with knowledge of the occurrences
