US Attorney Biskupic stepping down at the beginning of next year. WTMJ Reports
"In his six years as a federal prosecutor, Biskupic won a number of high-profile convictions against public officials, including former state Sen. Gary George, D-Milwaukee. George was sentenced in 2004 to four years in federal prison after pleading guilty to running a kickback scheme involving a Milwaukee social service agency.
Biskupic also successfully prosecuted former Milwaukee aldermen Paul Henningsen and Alderman Mike McGee Jr.
Henningsen was sentenced to 33 months for embezzling from his campaign fund and falsifying campaign finance reports. McGee was sentenced to 6 1/2 years in federal prison on charges including bribery and extortion.
Biskupic said Tuesday his only regret was that he didn't pursue public corruption cases more aggressively. He said trust in government is paramount, and he hoped the convictions he did win made a difference.
"I hope I helped people in Milwaukee and the Eastern District have a better life," he said." - WTMJ
I think he did an outstanding job of helping to clean up the politics around here, but I don't think he did quite enough. He should have been more agressive.
