Cry me a river…

The sister of Kelly Rindfleisch, the former deputy chief of staff for Scott Walker, has launched an attack on Milwaukee County prosecutors, accusing them of ruining Rindfleisch’s life with their John Doe investigation.

In a letter to the editor of the Baraboo News Republic, Anne Hollinsed said her sister can’t get a job because of the probe. Sources have said Rindfleisch is now the subject of a second investigation.

“Kelly’s life has been ruined by the hatred of Scott Walker in this state,” Hollinsed wrote in the Friday letter. “She can’t find employment because of the overreaching single felony conviction she received by a Democratic judge.”

She concluded: “The overreach in this case is alarming and downright scary when a government worker can be convicted of something so miniscule to satisfy the agenda of those who’ve made political warfare their top priority.”

Two things stand out about this:

1. If you lye with the pigs you better expect to get dirty. She knew damn well what she was doing.

She shouldn't be looking for a job she should be waiting for parole.

2. "… ruined by the hatred of scott walker in this state"? Really?

That actually gives me some hope. If there's enough "hatred of scott walker in this state," maybe we can finally get rid of him as a political threat - in Wisconsin OR the race for the White House.

3. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

4. My heart bleeds

5. "Ruined by hatred of Scott Walker." Nothing to do with that pesky felony she committed.

6. And plead guilty to. n/t

7. That wasn't her fault.

That she got caught that is. How dare anyone treat her the same way as they treat Democrats.

[marble falls]

16. She pled guilty for a technical reason: she was guilty.

8. I really do not feel sorry for this defendant

She broke the law and now must pay the price

[charmay]

9. Republican mindset

They break the law and blame it on democrats.

10. Unfortunately for her, she never realized something important

How very lucky she was to get immunity for doing the same exact thing during the first caucus scandal. Did she learn anything from that? Apparently not. At least she provided one bit of humor in this situation when she tried to plead that her immunity from years ago should extend to what she did in Milwaukee County too. A new definition of chutzpah.

18. That's the first thing I thought of too

That's the first thing I thought of too--

This wasn't the first time she did it! I have a daughter, and sometimes, if I think she's truly sorry, and made a mistake by accident, and I'm feeling particularly soft, I'll let her out of a punishment. But if she goes ahead an turns right around and re-commits the same infraction, then of COURSE she gets the full weight of whatever the appropriate corrective measure should be, and sometimes even more for abusing my trust.

The second thing I thought of, is that once again, it's a republican expecting special treatment different from what they proscribe for everyone else convicted of a crime. When it's someone else who gets a felony rap, they're the party of "lock 'em up and throw away the key!" When you talk about restoring felon's voting rights, for example, the first ones screaming bloody murder against the very thought are the repubs...........unless it's one of their own. Then of course IOKIYAR.

Party of victims. Perpetual party of victims.

11. someone pleeease....

call the waaaaaaaaaaaaambulance !!!

[progressoid]

12. She needs to pull herself up by her bootstraps.

[Why Syzygy]

13. So she's above the law.

Still. Not surprising.

14. Being loyal to Wanker she should have taken the bullet willingly & shut up afterward!

Perhaps it is dawning on Rindfleisch that she gave her professional and personal life, her reputation & hopes for her future for Wanker & his controllers!

It's over for you Kelly! What did you expect??? And I think in the future it will only get worse.

15. And let's not forget this little tidbit..poor thing

The deputy chief of staff to then-County Executive Scott Walker praised a racist email forwarded to her in 2010 that joked welfare recipients are “mixed in color, unemployed, lazy, can’t speak English and have no frigging clue who the r [sic] Daddys [sic] are.”

The email tells the story of a dog owner who asks the government for canine welfare checks because the dogs match the criteria detailed above. Kelly Rindfleisch, Walker’s then-deputy chief of staff in 2010, wrote that the email was “hilarious” and “so true.” The email was sent to Rindfleisch from someone outside Walker’s staff.

19. The hatred of Scott Walker in this state

Gee, all he did was attack our schools, our teachers, our kids, and tens of thousands of workers. Why would we hate him for that?
