In a brief filed today in the Seventh Circiut Court of Appeals, prosecutors directly say that the John Doe investigation is into "a candidate" that illegally coordinated to "circumvent state contribution limits and reporting requirements":

Specifically, the John Doe Proceedings were commenced to focus on coordinated expenditures—in the form of coordinated issue advocacy—that were secretly coordinated between a candidate, the candidate’s campaign committee and the candidate’s agents and various outside groups, including 501(c)(4) organizations, in order to circumvent state contribution limits and reporting requirements.

Later the brief says "five different district attorneys and the John Doe Judge found a reasonable belief that a crime (i.e., secret coordinated issue advocacy) occurred."

I think Scotty would look smashing in an orange jumpsuit.

3. The John Doe is prob going to expand into a national political money laundering scheme.

Oral arguments begin at the US 7th District Circuit Court of Appeals (in Chicago) today. I'd love to be there !

When Wanker gets indicted I for one will be celebrating zealously. And when he gets convicted I'll be insane with happiness!

7. Not easy, no. I'm sure Wanker's backers think this is a partisan witch hunt and few will ....

It's still incumbent on Mary Burke to inspire more votes than Tom Barrett did.
