Chris Abele Tries Again to Help the Democrats

Chris Abele was widely reported to have been the figure behind the attack on Sheriff David Clarke in the final weeks of the Primary.  That assault failed to remove the Sheriff from office.

Now Abele is at it again.  This time he is using his position as Milwaukee County Executive to help the Burke Campaign. 

Right Wisconsin:

The Associated Press reports:
Milwaukee County officials are planning to release thousands of emails prosecutors collected during the first secret investigation into Gov. Scott Walker's former aides and associates when he was county executive.
 
A spokesman for Chris Abele, the county's current executive, says Abele's office will make nearly 16,000 emails and attachments that prosecutors seized from county and personal computers available Tuesday.
 
Abele's office has already made tens of thousands of documents related to the probe public and expects to release even more material beyond Tuesday's release.
 
Chris Abele and his wife are both $10,000 donors to Democratic candidate for governor Mary Burke. In addition, Abele's campaign donated $43,000 to Burke bring his total donations to $63,000.
 
Chris Abele is also a known bankroller of the Greater Wisconsin Committee, a left-wing group that is running millions of dollars in negative ads against Gov. Scott Walker.

Amazingly at the same time that all of this information is being released, Burke comes out with a new AD against Walker touting the John Doe investigation.  Hmmmm.  Isn't that Colluding?  Isn't that what Milwaukee DA John Chisholm was accusing the Walker Administration of?
