Why did Brad Schimel forgo criminal charges against attorney who instructed client to destroy evidence in John Doe criminal investigation?
In 2010 the Milwaukee County John Doe investigation first came to light after Darlene Wink, a former aide to Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker, was charged and later convicted of political solicitation involving public officials and employees after she was caught using her taxpayer-provided County computer to do political work…
Former Walker aide sentenced for illegal campaign activity on county time

Someone should tell Rick Esenberg there’s a difference between a crime and a non-crime
For being a licensed attorney, Rick Esenberg sure doesn’t seem to know the difference between a crime and a non-crime.
