On Feb. 12 The Washington Post and The New York Times reported on the federal conviction of GOP operative Tyler Harber for illegal political coordination. The Washington Post article references the John Doe investigations of Scott Walker and friends: "Although Harber appears to be the first political operative to be criminally convicted of illegal coordination federally, there have been several significant coordination probes at the state level. The most high-profile case has been in Wisconsin, where prosecutors were scrutinizing possible illegal coordination between Gov. Scott Walker’s campaign and outside groups. That case is still being challenged in state courts." If federal prosecutors continue to pursue illegal coordination cases, might a federal investigation into whether Scott Walker and friends violated laws against political coordination go on beyond the John Doe investigation now tied up in Wisconsin courts?
