http://www.jsonline.com/news/statepolitics/longtime-aide-to-scott-walker-sues-john-doe-prosecutors-b99530549z1-311286321.htmlArcher's complaint said the Milwaukee County district attorney's office, under Chisholm's direction, has "conducted a continuous campaign of harassment and intimidation against individuals and organizations in retaliation for their association with Scott Walker and their support for his policies, especially public-sector collective-bargaining reforms."
...
Six former associates and aides of Walker while he was Milwaukee County executive were convicted of charges linked to the probe. Neither Walker nor Archer was ever charged.
...
And in an opinion piece published Tuesday in The Wall Street Journal, Archer wrote that her "reputation and career have been damaged beyond repair." "Worst of all, I have discovered that my demotion as Gov. Walker's deputy director of administration, which came four weeks before the raid on my house, appears to have been engineered by the governor's team after word reached them that I had been targeted by the district attorney," Archer wrote. "Subsequently, I have not been given any role in the administration that may bring public attention."
Archer, who works in the state public defender's office, was appointed to a new job in July 2014 making about $113,000 a year. In this case, she is being represented by a team of attorneys including David Rivkin of Baker and Hostetler LLP in Washington, D.C. Rivkin has also represented Eric O'Keefe and Wisconsin Club for Growth in previous lawsuits over a second John Doe investigation into whether Walker's campaign illegally coordinated with independent conservative groups in the 2012 recall election.

Wanker's team is doing everything it can to disrupt the continuing investigations into his wrongdoings. In this instance that entails suing the prosecutors in an attempt to intimidate them. It doesn't appear, however, that John Chisholm will be intimidated.

SWAT teams shouldn't be used to serve search warrants for stuff like this. I have no doubt if a Republican prosecutor used a SWAT team to serve a search warrant on a Democrat, you would be screaming bloody murder.
and just so your post remains visible for all to see:
