Any attempt to ensure election integrity is criminal by justice and law enforcement agencies weaponized by the Democrat party of tyranny.

Question statistically impossible wins by the Democrat party of tyranny can land you in jail (or a DC gulag).

The Federalist reported Democrat Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul’s Department of Justice raided the home and office of conservative Wausau Mayor Doug Diny in connection to Diny’s removal of an unsecured absentee ballot drop box, sources tell The Federalist.

The raid took place Wednesday afternoon, according to a source with information on the stunning law enforcement operation. The source, who asked not to be identified because of the developing nature of the case, tells The Federalist that law enforcement officials took cell phones and other electronic devices supposedly relevant to the investigation. That included Diny’s wife’s cell phone, the source said.

As The Federalist reported last month, Diny removed the controversial absentee ballot box positioned outside city hall because he said it was not secure. Wausau City Clerk Kaitlyn Bernarde had, according to reports, decided to bring back the drop box without approval from the Wausau City Council. Bernarde told The Washington Post she noticed the drop box was missing and notified Theresa Wetzsteon, Marathon County’s Democrat district attorney. Wetzsteon told the Post that her office is now investigating.

Diny has defended his decision to remove the drop box and place it inside city hall.  (keep reading here)

Mayor Diny’s proposal to purchase a security camera and floodlight for the drop box failed to garner even a motion from the council. The proposal, which would have required a two-thirds majority vote, is now dead. Diny appeared bewildered that the group declined to discuss an expenditure he is already legally authorized to make on his own.

“Seriously?” he said. “Wow. Let the record show that the council chose not to take the resolution up for dropbox security.”

WI Rep. Wants Judiciary Committee To Look Into Election-Related Raid On Wausau Mayor’s Home

By: M.D. Kittle, The Federalist,. October 21, 2024

isconsin’s far-left top prosecutor still isn’t commenting two days after The Federalist first reported the state Department of Justice led a raid on the office and home of Wausau Mayor Douglas Diny —  a law enforcement operation tied to Diny’s removal and relocation of an unsecured absentee ballot drop box outside city hall.

Meanwhile, Rep. Tom Tiffany, a Republican who represents Wausau in northern Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District, said that he’d like the House Judiciary Committee to investigate Attorney General Josh Kaul’s politically driven probe. Tiffany, who serves on the committee, told Wisconsin conservative talk show host Vicki McKenna that Kaul’s actions reek of the kind of politically weaponized investigations and prosecutions Biden-Harris administration Attorney General Merrick Garland has delivered during his tenure.

“I see Merrick Garland doing stuff like this out in Washington, D.C., whether it’s on Catholics or people in school board meetings, whatever the case may be,” said the congressman, referring to some of the U.S. Department of Justice’s many targets. “Now it appears Josh Kaul for Halloween wants to be the mini-Merrick Garland.”

‘Actions of Jack-Booted Thugs’

On Friday, a source with knowledge of Wednesday’s raid told The Federalist that law enforcement officials seized cell phones and other electronic devices supposedly relevant to the Wausau investigation. That included Diny’s wife’s cell phone, said the source who asked not to be identified because of the developing nature of the case.

An official in the attorney general’s office told The Federalist the state justice department could provide more information on the raid. The agency has not returned several requests for comment, including a follow-up email asking law enforcement officials why it was necessary to, as sources told The Federalist, serve a warrant and seize the mayor’s property in a dispute over Wisconsin’s controversial absentee ballot drop box law.

Wausau radio station WSAU reported on Sunday that the state DOJ, “led by democrat Attorney General Josh Kaul, has not commented on the raid.”

Sen. Ron Johnson, Wisconsin’s senior senator, wrote on his X account in response to The Federalist’s story that Kaul’s investigation into Diny and the accompanying raid “are the actions of jack-booted thugs.”

“Democrats are the danger to our democracy. Case closed,” Johnson said.

These are the actions of jack-booted thugs.

Democrats are the danger to our democracy.

Case closed. https://t.co/AUqaupYaef

Conducted Freely and Fairly’

The Wisconsin Department of Justice’s Division of Criminal Investigation earlier this month took over the investigation into Diny’s Sept. 22 removal of the drop box. The conservative mayor ticked off the left when photos showed him carting away the ballot receptacle, which Diny said was not secured where it had been placed outside city hall in advance of the opening of Wisconsin’s pre-Election Day voting. It has since been returned.

As The Federalist reported, Wausau City Clerk Kaitlyn Bernarde had, according to reports, decided to bring back the drop box without approval from the Wausau City Council. After positioning it and bolting it down, Bernarde told The Washington Post she noticed the drop box was missing and notified Theresa Wetzsteon, Marathon County’s Democrat district attorney. Wetzsteon told the Post that she quickly opened up an investigation.

In July, the liberal-led Wisconsin Supreme Court reversed a previous ruling by the court that had declared the widespread use of absentee ballot drop boxes illegal under state law. The new ruling left it up to municipalities to decide whether to use the receptacles. Many communities have opted not to employ them.

“The Supreme Court interprets the law, does not make the law. That was my logic,” Diny said at a Wausau City Council meeting earlier this month.

Diny could not be reached for comment. His attorney, Joseph Bugni, has declined to comment on the matter. The mayor earlier this month attempted to persuade the city council to approve funding for drop box security. Council members refused to take up the measure.
