Wisconsin Judges Who Received Campaign Funds from Business Groups Order Destruction of Evidence about Groups’ Connection with Gov. Scott Walker

An investigation that could have disrupted Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s bid for the White House has been stamped out by that state’s Supreme Court, many of whose members have the same financial backers as Walker.

The court ruled 4-2 to end the John Doe investigation of Walker’s 2012 campaign to fight off being recalled from office. After winning the election, Walker was accused of coordinating with conservative and big business advocacy groups that fought his recall. If proven, both Walker and his backers would be in violation of the law.
The probe was challenged by conservative and business organizations—the Wisconsin Club for Growth, Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, and Citizens for a Strong America—which also spent money on others running for office, such as members of the Wisconsin Supreme Court. In fact, the four justices who voted to quash the investigation all received substantial contributions from the groups.
