The jackals are nipping at Milwaukee District Attorney John Chisholm’s heels.

Chisholm initiated the John Doe investigation that’s looking at campaign collusion between Gov. Scott Walker’s campaign staff and right-wing “dark money” groups that backed Walker in the 2012 recall campaign.

Now Wisconsin Club for Growth, one of the groups under scrutiny, is suing Chisolm for violating its free speech, freedom to assemble and equal protection rights.

And Walker gets to decide who Chisholm’s attorney will be and the attorney’s hourly rate, writes Bruce Murphy in Urban Milwaukee.

Walker has erected a “Chinese Wall” between himself and the case, appointing his Chief Legal Counsel Brian Hagedorn, to make the calls.

Hagedorn, Murphy reports, has set the rate at $175 an hour, considerably less than the $300 an hour Walker has approved in the past.

2. Intimidation

Bullying, intimidation, harassment. It's what Walker's does.
