Michael Gableman — the former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice who led a pricey probe into the 2020 presidential election that turned up no evidence of wrongdoing — should be “disbarred,” Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said in an interview that aired over the weekend.
Vos, who initiated that investigation, told WISN-TV’s “UpFront” program that hiring Gableman “is probably the single biggest embarrassment that I have ever had.”
Vos hired Gableman in June 2021 and fired him in August 2022. No evidence of widespread fraud was ever uncovered by Gableman’s team. Along the way, Gableman was sued for allegedly violating open records laws and racked up millions in legal fees.
Gableman and Vos have butted heads in the past. Gableman endorsed Vos’ primary challenger in his 2022 Assembly reelection campaign, and Vos called Gableman “an embarrassment to the state” after ending the investigation.
Supporters of that primary challenge to Vos launched a recall effort against him — an effort that Vos has challenged. Part of the recall group’s complaint against Vos is that he did not move to decertify the 2020 election, and did not continue to endorse Gableman’s claims that the 2020 election was stolen.
Vos: Gableman, leader of failed 2020 election probe, should be ‘disbarred’ was originally published by Wisconsin Public Radio.

But Robbin’ will gladly vote for Donald Trump, and continue to court MAGA trash to stay in power.
Which is why he hired Gableman for this $2 million boondoggle in the first place. To keep the dumb MAGAs stirred up. And now he complains about the results?
Does Napoleon own a mirror?
I could have told Robin that and saved the Wisconsin taxpayers well over a million dollars! One of many suggestions I sent to Robin but they fell upon deaf ears.
Too little and too late for Vos to be admitting the Gableman catastrophe for what it was, while at the same time continuing to support Frump and his BS. RV wants to have his cake and eat it, too…all the while thinking the voters in Wisconsin cannot see through his transparent attempt to play both sides of this ridiculous game.
Yes, Gobbleman needs to be disbarred- but Robbin’ Robin needs to reimburse us taxpayers for the rip-off HE INITIATED! Popcornman needs to resign, too. These MAGOONS brought us the FocksCon scam, the crumbling of our once-admired university system, and the population of our legislature with grifters, morons, and neo-Nazis. Wake up, badgers!
Vos has got to be one of the dumbest Republicans out there. But…he will continue to get a brown nose from sucking up so close to the source (*RUMP) and to serve his “Daddy’s” platform.
Love watching them eat their own.
