This is politics at its absolute worst. After both Scott Walker and Brad Schimel were rejected by the voters of Wisconsin, Walker gives his friend an appointment to be a judge. This reeks of the back room, self serving deals that have... https://amp.jsonline.com/amp/2067194002

Gov. Scott Walker appoints outgoing Attorney General Brad Schimel to Waukesha court

MADISON - As he leaves office, Gov. Scott Walker will appoint outgoing Attorney General Brad Schimel to a judgeship in Waukesha County.

“Brad Schimel has diligently served the State of Wisconsin as attorney general and the citizens of Waukesha County as district attorney,” Walker said in a Tuesday statement. “Schimel has shown a commitment to the rule of law and the State of Wisconsin. He will continue to faithfully serve our state as Waukesha County Circuit Court judge.”

Schimel — like Walker a Republican — will take a job relinquished last week by Waukesha County Circuit Judge Patrick Haughney.

Democrats decried the appointment, with state Rep. Evan Goyke (D-Milwaukee) saying the arrangement appeared to be "scripted behind closed doors" after Walker and Schimel lost their elections.

"This is what people hate about politics, this type of backscratching," Goyke said.

Walker and Schimel on Nov. 6 lost to their Democratic opponents — Walker to state schools Superintendent Tony Evers and Schimel to attorney Josh Kaul.
