This could be a huge development in learning more about the connection between the Wisconsin Republican Party, Karl Rove, U.S. Attorney Steven Biskupic, and the Georgia Thompson case: The House Judiciary Committee has sent a letter to the Republican National Committee asking for all emails pertaining to that connection. A key quote from that letter:
“We have also been advised that there may be RNC e-mail traffic relating to Republican Party concerns about the United States Attorney in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, prior to his announcing, on the eve of the hotly contested 2006 gubernatorial election, that he was indicting an official in the incumbent Democratic governor’s administration.
The question here remains: Was U.S. Attorney Steven Biskupic one of the USA’s on the firing list in the Fall of 2006, and did his indictment of Georgia Thompson which allowed Republicans in the State to attempt to link Gov. Doyle to her get him off that list?
I live in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Milwaukee, WI with my wife Jen, our daughter Emerson, and sons Carter and Colton.
Bingo, that’s the ticket. Wisconsin being a swing state and the large, urban, minority population made us an obvious target for the voter fraud approach. Biskupic seems to have had some backbone but would do anything to keep his job. It would be interesting to see what evidence there was for the voter fraud cases that were dismissed and compare that to the evidence in the Thompsons case.
