No comment comes a little late

You gotta love this response to the Journal Sentinel, which asked all of the AG candidates whether they would continue to pursue investigations of the Doyle administration:

Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager, Democrat: I will not comment on ongoing investigations.

She should have added: Ask my top lawyer, Mike Bauer. He's happy to talk, especially when there's some political advantage to be gained.

Until the Lautenschlager-Bauer regime, the practice in the State Dept. of Justice had always been not to comment on investigations, or even to confirm whether one was underway.
