GOP AG Candidate Endorses Pay For Play

GOP Waukesha DA Brad Schimel sends a bad behavior permission slip with a moneygram attachment to Waukesha COP State legislator and Lt. Gov. spouse Joel Kleefisch - - and everyone else in line at the Special Interest ATM:

Ka-ching. (Hat tips, DanBice, and OWN):
Waukesha District Attorney Brad Schimel has brushed aside a request to investigate state Rep. Joel Kleefisch for introducing a bill that could have cut the child support paid by a major Republican donor. 
"Why can't a legislator press for legislation that benefits a person who has contributed to their campaign?" Schimel asked in an email to the liberal group One Wisconsin Now. "Isn't that the essence of representative government?"
Seems the only thing won't stop a bad bill is a worse guy with law enforcement powers, since this is the e$$ence of Wisconsin democracy these days.

    If my memory serves me correct, Wasn't there a questionable campaign contribution made from Eisenga to Kleefisch, Using Eisengas Ex Wife without her knowledge or approval?

      And Eisenga gave Kelly Rindfleisch a nice-paying gig after she became persona non grata during John Doe 1.

      And loo who's making an appearance at a big-money Schimel fundraiser tomorrow in Milwaukee? Scott Walker!

      They really are one big organized crime syndicate at WisGOP, aren't they?

    Wow!!!!! Looks like a vote for this candidate is a vote not for justice but a vote for the good old boys! I think we've already had 3/1/2 years of that.

    The same Brad Schimel who couldn't be bothered to re-try former felon Scooter Jensen, once the GOP legislators changed the venue from Bad Scooter Dane County to Good Scooter Waukesha County. Within days of announcing his decision not to re-try Jensen, Schimel and Scooter had their picture taken together a GOP fundraiser. And now he's charging a pair of 12-year old girls as adults to look tough on teen-age crime. Oh yea. We almost forgot his own drunk driving event, chalking it up to "youthful indiscretion" when he was of an age to at least have graduated from college, and possibly law school, or in law school.

    And why can't an Attorney General refuse to investigate or prosecute someone who has contributed to their campaign? It makes perfect sense, if your ethics are rooted in the 19th century.
