MADISON — A special prosecutor has asked the Wisconsin Supreme Court to reconsider its decision ending an investigation into Gov. Scott Walker’s recall campaign.

Online court records show Francis Schmitz filed a motion Tuesday with the court to reconsider its decision from last month and put the ruling on hold in the meantime.

Part of the court’s decision ordered Schmitz to destroy evidence he had collected during the investigation.

1. Interesting thing to do - don't see why the WI-SC would reconsider its own decision

this soon especially considering that they've been literally bribed.

Is this a sign to get the case to play out in the court of public opinion?
A legal trick to get the WI-SC to rehear the case 4 years down the road in the case some of the four horsemen (the conservative justices) of the apocalypse lose their jobs?
A chance to get the legal records released? (similar to court of public opinion)
A sign of taking it to the big boy supreme court?
A way to set up federal charges?

2. Literally bribed, and one of them stole their election.

To get what they want, the Koch Brothers, who own Walker, will do anything to anyone.

Will buy anyone who is for sale and if not for sale they will fix that too.

3. Yes, I think there is an effort to get to federal court.

If that happens they will need to have evidence to present.

Holding back the destruction of the records is critically important if that happens.

4. The other thing would be getting the records to be made public, I think. The JD2 was held in

essentially secrecy and the records were almost entirely redacted except for Koch talking points.

5. Putting a hold on the ruling to end the JD investigation & destruction of evidence is important

in that the evidence may be needed in a federal investigation. This gives the feds more time--not that they've had enough time IMHO, but the evidence must be preserved!

6. Here's what has always struck me as significant re: the Wisconsin Supreme Court decision:

They ordered all evidence destroyed when they could just as easily (and with ostensibly the same effect) ordered that it be sealed. This, to me, is the clearest indication that the Wisconsin Supreme Court is really nothing more than the judicial arm of the Walker/ALEC/Americans for Prosperity political shop.

Seriously...four conservative justices who received millions of dollars from parties named in a case NOT recusing themselves from that case. As someone else said, if this happened in a third world country the Republicans would be calling for boots on the ground to save democracy.
