The conviction of former Assembly Speaker Scott Jensen - once one of the most powerful politicians in Wisconsin - shows "no one is above the law," Dane County District Attorney Brian Blanchard said Saturday.
Answering criticism about his decision not to charge any Assembly Democrats, Blanchard said he had to "set priorities . . . about what was really worth pursuing" given limited resources in his office and the court system. Blanchard, a Democrat, also didn't prosecute anyone from the Senate Republican Caucus, instead focusing on the leaders of the majority party caucuses in each house of the Legislature.
