Madison — Three unnamed people have asked the Wisconsin Court of Appeals to temporarily halt a secret investigation of campaign fundraising and spending during Wisconsin's recent recall elections.

Madison attorney Dean Strang filed the five motions Thursday, according to online court records. The filings name special prosecutor Francis Schmitz and initially namedretired Kenosha County Circuit Judge Barbara Kluka, who was originally in charge of the investigation.

The filings were amended this week to reflect that the investigation is now being overseen by retired Appeals Court Judge Gregory Peterson. Kluka has not said why she recused herself.

Copies of the court records were not available because Strang has filed motions to seal the petitions and related records. The filings, called petitions for supervisory writs, are requests that higher courts review how the investigation is being conducted.....

5. Don't know--but the 3 secret filer's are "being represented by some top-level national attorneys"

Big money is being spent that is for sure!



....The unnamed individuals at the center of the appeals court case are being represented by some top-level national attorneys.

Michael J. Bresnick — a partner at the Washington, D.C., law firm of Stein Mitchell Muse & Cippollone — declined to say who his client was. Bresnick, a former federal prosecutor, recently spent two years as the executive director of President Barack Obama's Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force.

The law firm of Graves Garrett LLC in Kansas City, Mo., was listed in online court records as representing another one of the unnamed petitioners. A phone message left at the firm Tuesday seeking comment from attorneys Todd Graves or Edward Greim wasn't immediately returned.

On the firm's website, Graves is listed as a former U.S. attorney for the western district of Missouri whose areas of expertise include political speech and election law as well as white-collar criminal defense.
