Wisconsin: Schimel didn't prosecute attorney who removed files in John Doe probe

http://www.jsonline.com/news/statepolitics/schimel-didnt-prosecute-attorney-who-removed-files-in-john-doe-probe-b99367499z1-278579511.html

Madison — The attorney for a former aide to Gov. Scott Walker received a reprimand last year for violating professional conduct rules by removing files from the aide's computer that he knew were relevant to an ongoing criminal investigation.

Attorney Chris Wiesmueller avoided criminal charges under a deal with Waukesha County District Attorney Brad Schimel by agreeing to bring the matter to the attention of the state Office of Lawyer Regulation.

Schimel, a Republican, is now running for attorney general.

Regulators also found Wiesmueller violated rules by trying to negotiate a deal for his client without consulting with her; telling criminal investigators about his client's activities without her knowledge; and implying his client had removed material from her computer when it was Wiesmueller who did that.



A question for the DOJ: When will the RICO investigation begin?

Do they have the guts to run with this story?

The public has a right to know what they're voting for.
