For Immediate Release
DA Investigates Taxpayer-Funded Political Blogger
Finds Evidence of “extensive political blogging”
Liebenthal has been active in Milwaukee County First and AFSCME Local 48. He has blogged or maintained web pages for those groups as well as his own. Blogging under the name “Capper,” Liebenthal writes for two political blogs called Cognitive Dissidence and Whallah!
The District Attorney had earlier seized the Liebenthal computer from his county office based on a complaint issued by
CRG spokesperson
“After discussing the situation with the District Attorney’s office, it is also clear that they would prefer to see this handled as a county personnel matter rather than a criminal matter,” said Kliesmet. “The ethical standard and consequences of this manner of workplace misconduct has been established and Mr. Liebenthal’s actions constitute an extreme example.”
Liebenthal took taxpayer resources meant to care for those most in need and spent them on his own political crusades,” said Kliesmet. “He should own up to his illicit use of taxpayer property and time and resign.”
CRG continues to follow this matter and will publish additional facts and data as they become available.
