Conservatives - not secretive and not ashamed of being crooked.

On Politics: John Doe lawsuit judge's assistant married to Scott Walker campaign lawyer (Click here to read more...)


Via the Wisconsin State Journal:
.
    An assistant to the federal judge who ordered a halt to the state's secret investigation into possible illegal campaign coordination between Gov. Scott Walker's campaign and conservative groups is married to a lawyer for Walker's campaign - which could be grounds for a judge to step down from a case. [...]
.
    Walker's campaign paid Biskupic's law firm $86,000 last year, according to a recent campaign finance report. Walker's campaign is also one of the targets in the John Doe probe, according to court filings.
.
    According to the federal Code of Conduct for Judicial Employees, employees working for federal judges should not perform any official duties in any matter in which a spouse has an interest that could be substantially affected by the outcome of the proceeding.
