Rindfleisch, O'Keefe (Wis.Club for Growth) identified as subjects in John Doe probe

/snip/

Two of the reports list the initials of the individuals at the center of the investigation in those counties.

Specifically, the Columbia County order lists "K R" as the party in the case. In Iowa County, the order bears the initials "E.S.O." as the party in the John Doe investigation.

Sources tell No Quarter that the first filing refers to Kelly Rindfleisch, the former deputy chief of staff to Walker when he was Milwaukee County executive.

Rindfleisch, who lives in Columbia County, is appealing her felony conviction for misconduct in office, arguing that a search warrant in the case was overly broad. She pleaded guilty in 2012 to doing campaign work while at her county job. A large batch of her emails, collected in the first John Doe probe, are set to be released soon.

Sources said the second judicial assignment order refers to Eric O'Keefe, a conservative activist who lives in Iowa County near Spring Green. O'Keefe is a director of Wisconsin Club for Growth, which spent some $9 million on ads during the 2011 and 2012 recall elections.

In 1979, Eric was elected to the Libertarian National Committee, where Ed Crane served. Crane recruited David Koch as the vice-presidential candidate to minimize the damage from the contribution limits imposed in the F.E.C.A. amendments. In 1980, Eric worked full-time in the Libertarian presidential campaign, first as a volunteer finishing the petition drives in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and West Virginia, then as National Field Coordinator from the Washington, D.C. headquarters. In late 1980, Eric was elected National Director of the Libertarian Party.
