The so-called "John Doe" investigation bars those subpoenaed from talking publicly.

But Eric O'Keefe, director of the Wisconsin Club for Growth, told The Wall Street Journal recently that investigators have raided at least three homes and that he "wants the public to know what is going on," despite the personal risk.

He also suggested the probe is having a chilling effect on conservative groups as Walker approaches a 2014 re-election effort.

He said the subpoenas, including the one he received in early October, "froze my communications and frightened many allies and vendors of the pro-taxpayer political movement in Wisconsin. ... The process is the punishment."

3. What is wrong with this picture?

Conservatives being investigated for possible (probable) actual, true, wrong doing. As opposed to democrats being investigated for breathing.

Boo fucking hoo.

4. So true. Isn‘t there an old adage that

Democrats get caught with their pants off while with republicans they get caught for financial improprieties. But yeah remember how the right went after clinton. It started out as whitewater and ended with a completely unrelated sex scandal. Then Ken Starr apologised. But look at Benghazi and how desperate the GOP is to find something. Creeps.
