Last month, No Quarterfirst reported that prosecutors had launched a second John Doe investigation into the recall elections. The response from the right has been swift and aggressive.
Those targeted by this probe are bringing in heavyweight lawyers from around the country, including an attorney who worked alongside U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder on the federal government’s $13 billion settlement with JPMorgan Chase & Co.
These lawyers have gone to court to try to throw up roadblocks to the prosecution and perhaps even derail the entire case, although their first effort was rebuffed late Friday. One recipient of a John Doe subpoena has gone public with the news.
And conservative websites have published leaked details of the probe and launched direct attacks on the prosecutors. One of the more humorous stories likened one prosecutor to Inspector Javert from Victor Hugo’s novel “Les Misérables.”
