Democrats question U.S. attorney's role in Wis. political case« Thread Started on Apr 7, 2007, 8:27am » --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Democrats question U.S. attorney's role in Wis. political caseread at source> http://wkbt.com/Global/story.asp?S=6336526MADISON, Wis. Some Democrats say the acquittal of a former state worker raises questions about whether a U-S attorney's investigation was a political attempt to tarnish Governor Doyle.A federal appeals court acquitted Georgia Thompson yesterday and freed her from an Illinois prison where she had served four months of an 18-month sentence.State Democratic Party Chairman Joe Wineke says the case was weak from the beginning and questioned its timing in an election year.Doyle's opponents cited the case last year in campaign ads alleging corruption in his administration.Wineke says recent revelations about political influence in the Department of Justice raises questions about whether Biskupic was acting to please his bosses.But two Democrats consulted during Biskupic's probe of the Doyle administration defended the federal prosecutor.Former Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager says Biskupic exercised great caution in pursing the case.Dane County D-A Brian Blanchard calls Biskupic a respected and nonpolitical prosecutor.
