Read more: Prosecutors accuse Scott Walker of running 'criminal scheme' : WsjOn Thursday, Walker's campaign emphasized that it isn't a party to the federal lawsuit and that "two judges have rejected the characterizations disclosed in those documents."
U.S. District Judge Rudolph Randa, who is overseeing the federal lawsuit, and Judge Gregory Peterson, who is overseeing the John Doe investigation, have ruled against the prosecutors, but both decisions are under appeal.
Attorneys for Wisconsin Club for Growth said Thursday it was prosecutors who had violated the state's election laws.
"These documents show how the John Doe prosecutors adopted a blatantly unconstitutional interpretation of Wisconsin law that they used to launch a secret criminal investigation targeting conservatives throughout Wisconsin. That legal theory has now been rejected by two courts," said Andrew Grossman of Baker Hostetler, the law firm representing Club for Growth. "Sunlight is the best disinfectant, and this is a story that needs to be told to prevent more abuses and to hold the John Doe prosecutors accountable for violating the rights of Wisconsinites."
Democrats have been trying to impeach, prosecute, drag down, lie about, and generally harass Gov. Walke ever since he put the government workers' unions in their places.
They are especially enraged over the fact that, when they tried to hold a recall election against him, he won it by an even greater margin than in his original election to the Governor's office.
Sounds like the whiners are still at it, digging and inventing any charges they can.

MADISON, Wis. (WSAU) -- A judge has quashed subpoenas and ordered the return of property to the targets of a secret campaign-finance investigation involving Gov. Scott Walker.
A Wall Street Journal report says Judge Gregory A. Peterson ruled Friday some of those subpoenas were improper. Peterson is overseeing the so-called John Doe investigation into Walker's campaign and more than two dozen conservative groups.
Peterson wrote they "do not show probable cause that the moving parties committed any violations of the campaign finance laws.''
His opinion remains under seal but the Wall Street Journal obtained a copy. Judge Peterson said he could not comment on the case.
