Wisconsin Governor Walker signs bill restricting secret investigations
Source: Reuters

Wisconsin Republican Governor Scott Walker on Friday signed a bill into law that prohibits prosecutors from using the state's secret investigation law to probe political crimes - a measure used to convict four of his aides and investigate his campaign.

In Wisconsin, prosecutors can use a so called "John Doe" proceeding law to call witnesses, request search warrants and offer immunity without probable cause that a crime has been committed.

Under the legislation Walker signed, prosecutors can no longer use the law to investigate cases of bribery or political misconduct. Instead, the law is limited to the investigation of certain crimes, such as ones involving violent felonies.

"We may never know if there are political crooks popping champagne corks today knowing that their crimes will now be very difficult to investigate and even harder to prosecute," said Democrat Rep. Peter Barca in a statement.

2. He isnt pro-criminal corrupt politician, he works harder than that.

He's fucking the Jabba the Hut of Wisconsin political corruption. He rules a separate world of political corruption. It seems like everything is for sale.

3. This is the only way he can rule.

By ambush, by actions under the cover of darkness.
Every time I see pictures of him taken during daylight hours I am struck by how sleepy he looks, like he stayed up past his morning bed time to make the photo op.

4. That john doe law was only effective when it was used against Tom Ament.
