Walker/ Michael Best pure naked corruption a reminder


The recent revelations that two WisGOP legislative staffers are working out of the Michael, Best and Friedrich offices shouldn't surprise you too much. We've known for months that MBF and the Troupis Law Office are being the BFFs of this Administration, in exchange for pulling down high 6 figures of taxpayer dollars to come up with legal BS to try to cover the rampant WisGOP corruption.

But Peter McKeevey of the Ed Garvey law office has a great article on how a current MBF attorney has inside info on the John Doe case. Who's the attorney? Let's just say you might have seen his name on this blog 6 months ago.
...[Milwaukee Co. DA John] Chisholm met with DOJ senior staff on November 15, [2010]. Among the staff present was Ray Taffora, then the No. 2 official in the department. It is safe to assume that sensitive and confidential information was discussed. This was, after all, a criminal investigation.

At some point, Walker’s campaign hired Attorney Steven Biskupic to represent his interests. Biskupic, a former U.S. Attorney under George Bush, is a criminal defense attorney with Michael, Best and Friedrich, a law firm with offices in Milwaukee and Madison. The Wisconsin State Journal recently described this law firm as “in-house counsel” for Walker and the Republican Party in Wisconsin.http://jakehasablog.blogspot.com/2012/02/walker-michael-best-pure-naked.html

This is just getting more cozy every day... Walkers attorney was privy to inside info. of the investigation in 2010?
