Judge Kreuser
Well, isn't this just special. Assembly Democrats not only get away with criminal behavior, they get to buddy around with judges as well. With about a week to go before the trial of Republican Jensen, the Supreme Court announces that Democrat Jim Kreuser will join Judge Wilk on the bench for a half day of hearings on miscellaneous criminal matters. This is, of course, as it should be, since we all know that K-Town Kreuser has never engaged in any shady dealings. He doesn't know anything about the bags of cash in Kenosha politics, or staff campaigning on state time. It should be instructive for Jim to learn about "miscellaneous criminal matters," although the entire experience may leave him feeling a little queasy. Perhaps he could invite Shirley Krug along and they could end their feud with a judicial high-five over the demise of Scott Jensen. This is one more sign that the world is not as it should be. Perhaps the brilliant Seth Boffeli will have a statement about this later, I do so love reading his press releases.
