State DOJ officials wanted to stay out of John Doe probe

Of course they did.

John Doe investigations are secret proceedings in which witnesses can be subpoenaed and compelled to testify under oath about potential criminal matters and are forbidden from talking publicly about the case. Sources said prosecutors have been looking into whether county staffers were doing political work while on the clock and failing to do county jobs.

The investigation initially had focused on campaign activity by aides who worked for Walker while he was Milwaukee County executive. But several sources have said prosecutors continue to look at new angles.
