*This kind of political witch-hunt was the hallmark of Hitler's Nazi
Germany and Stalin's Great Terror, but it's happening in Wisconsin today.*
*Even worse, it's not some stinky shadowy group that's doing the
witch-hunt. The home raids are led by supposed law men -- Waukesha special
prosecutor Francis Schmitz, Milwaukee assistant district attorney Bruce
Landgraf, and Eau Claire County reserve Judge Gregory Peterson

Project<http://capitolcityproject.com/homes-raided-subpoenas-issued-targeting-conservative-groups-and-allies-of-scott-walker/>Nov.
18, 2013:
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.

(Dr. Eowyn) tried in vain to find a photo of* *special prosecutor Francis
Schmitz*. *So elusive is he, M. D. Kittle of the Wisconsin Reporter
<http://watchdog.org/113401/conservatives-investigation-halloween/>calls
him "the phantom prosecutor" and commissioned the above "artist rendering
of "what we believe" Francis Schmitz looks like. (Mike Shelton

“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<http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304799404579155953286552832>.
It continues, “Copies of two subpoenas we’ve 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 Prosperity—Wisconsin,
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* Wisconsin’s John
Doe law,* which *makes it difficult for the groups involved to defend
themselves publicly.* The law, “Bars a subpoena’s targets from disclosing
its contents to anyone but his attorneys. John Doe probes work much like a
grand jury, allowing prosecutors to issue subpoenas and conduct searches,
while *the gag orders leave the targets facing the resources of the state
with no way to publicly defend themselves*.”

Landgraf]<http://fellowshipofminds.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/bruce-landgraf.jpg>*Assistant
District Attorney Head of Gestapo, Bruce Landgraf*
*The orders reportedly began in the office of Milwaukee County Assistant
District Attorney Bruce Landgraf *just days before Democrat Mary Burke
announced<http://host.madison.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/democrat-mary-burke-announces-bid-for-governor/article_fb177d1f-6c88-57f6-85c0-9e699cb49160.html>that
she’d be running for governor of the state. Landgraf works for
*Milwaukee
County Democratic District Attorney John Chisholm* — who *led a similar
effort against Wisconsin conservatives and Gov. Walker in the past. This is
the second such “John Doe” investigation in just three and a half years.*
Eric O’ Keefe, director of Wisconsin’s Club For Growth and one of the
groups being targeted, said that he knows of at least three of the *targets
*who *have had their homes raided. *During the raids, law enforcement
officers confiscated computers and files. A person with knowledge of
the *search
warrants*
said<http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304799404579155953286552832>they
*came
at the requests of a man named Dean Nickel.*
“A person who has seen one of the Wisconsin search warrants tells us that
the warrants were executed based on the request of Dean Nickel, who filed
an affidavit for probable cause.,” the WSJ reported. “Mr. *Nickel is a
former head of the Wisconsin Department of Justice Public Integrity
Unit*and has worked as an investigator for the GAB. Mr. Nickel told us
he is a
contractor for the GAB but wouldn’t discuss the John Doe probe. GAB
Director and General Counsel Kevin Kennedy declined to comment.”
While gagged by provisions and the subpoenas, a source close to
Watchdog.org told the Wisconsin
Reporter<http://watchdog.org/113017/conservatives-wisconsin/>they
believe *this
is a taxpayer funded campaign *simply for opposition research purposes.
“This is a taxpayer-funded, opposition-research campaign,” one source said.
“This is not a question of what conservatives did wrong. It’s 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.
