MADISON, Wis. – The state Supreme Court on Monday released hundreds of documents from Wisconsin’s infamous John Doe II investigation.
But after bold headline stories Friday announcing the pending release of previously sealed documents in the “Gov. Walker case,” the mainstream media for the most part went dark.
With the exception of a retread story about former special prosecutor Francis Schmitz claiming he has returned the personal property the secret investigation unlawfully seized (Schmitz has made a lot of claims), most of the usual mainstream players bowed out of this one.
In all fairness, there was no “there” there.
Most of the information from the court motions, responses, emails, and exhibits had previously been reported on. Plenty of the documents were duplicates.
