Sheriff Clarke Responds to Abele John Doe Dump

Right Wisconsin:

Clarke reacted to Abele's latest gambit:

I am not surprised at all of the timing of the 16,000 email dump by Chris Abele.  Once again he pulls his tactic of engaging in political mischief and then does a "who me?" routine by having a county corporation lawyer provide him cover by taking responsibility for it. 

 Abele won't "man up" for anything and a lap dog media refuses to charge him up about it.

County lawyer Paul Bargren who signed the Walker recall petition knows better than to do anything without pre-approval by Abele.  He is "acting" Corporation Counsel and his confirmation to have the "acting" removed from his title in part depends on Abele's approval meaning his job hangs in the balance. 

This wreaks of brazenly engaging in pure politics on county taxpayer time while using county resources knowing that there will be no consequences from Abele or John Chisholm.   

If Abele had an ethical bone in his body he would have told this government lawyer to avoid the appearance of political chicanery by waiting until the election was over to do this dump.  

That a new Mary Burke ad runs on the same day and it is revealed that Abele has given tens of thousands of daddy's dollars to her campaign demonstrates once again that Abele's ethical elevator has no bottom floor.
