Did Blanchard Ever Investitgate Democrats?

In today's Capital Times, Dane County District Attorney Brian Blanchard defends his decision not to charge former Democratic Minority leader Shirley Krug for illegally operating an independent expenditure organization out of the State Capital. Krug's actions would have been illegal whether she was on state property or not. In contrast Blanchard has charged Representative Scott Jensen with three Class E felonies and one misdemeanor for using state employees and resources for political activities.

After reviewing documents made available Tuesday, I wonder whether Blanchard ever conducted an investigation of the Assembly Democratic Caucus. While the documents clearly summarize testimony by Democratic staffers regarding the activities of their leader and the Assembly Democratic Caucus, the case title listed in the summary documents is "ASSEMBLY REPUBLICAN CAUCUS."

Despite filing a comprehensive discovery motion early in the case, Jensen's legal team never received these documents from the District Attorney.

Even now, Jensen doesn't have all the information as several pages of these documents have been redacted. How can Jensen mount a defense if he doesn't have all the summary documents in the investigation against him?

Brian Blanchard has fought to keep the testimony in the John Doe investigation from becoming public. Why? Now that the investigation is over and Blanchard does not intend to file additional charges, why is he still refusing to release the testimony?

What was redacted from the investigative summaries and why? Will Blanchard agree to release the full testimony once all of the cases are closed or will he wait until after the November 2006 election?

What is Brian Blanchard trying so hard to hide?
