(* Updated to add two links providing more background *)
This evening the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel Online broke the news the GAB had unanimously approved investigating the evidence of misdoings in the 2012 Recall Election, which adds more fuel to the fire under Scott Walker's (aka John Doe) feet. Some of you may recall that the first John Doe investigation got reshaped as a more expansive investigation (aka John Doe II) and that our Republicans are busy filing briefs preventing their having to respond to subpoena's, turn over records and evidence, etc.
Hop on below the orange snare of intertwined snakes:
Maybe you recall the thwarted 2012 Recall Election that was supposed to rid Wisconsin of Gov Scott Kevin Walker after the Act 10 union busting, school funding cuts, and other crimes against our children's futures.
For those not familiar with the State of Wisconsin's Government Accountability Board (GAB) it is composed of 7 former justices appointed by governors and is supposed to deal with election issues, etc. in a non-partisan manner. As part of the John Doe II investigation Dean Nickels, hired as investigator by the GAB, provided a 10 page filing that the GAB has unanimously approved an investigation and vouched that there is substantial evidence supporting their action.
