ANOTHER Republican 2016 Hopeful BITES THE DUST As Scott Walker Appears to be UNDER INVESTIGATION

Follow the arrows to land at the fake IRS scandal perpetrated by the Republican Party in an effort to pre-emptively protect their dark money, courtesy of tax exempt “social welfare” nonprofits. Fresh on the heels of the last John Doe investigation into Gov. Scott Walker’s administration, which resulted in convictions for three former Walker aides — an appointee and a major campaign donor, comes the revelation of yet another probe surrounding the Wisconsin Republican Governor. This one centers around an anonymous campaign that is most likely Walker’s recall campaign “Friends of Scott Walker”.

According to newly-unsealed court documents, it appears that Scott Walker’s recall campaign is the focus of the “illegal campaign coordination between (name redacted), a campaign committee, and certain special interest groups.” Daniel Bice at the Journal Sentinel revealed why it’s looking like it’s Walker’s recall campaign under investigation:

From the outset, the probe focused on possible “illegal campaign coordination between (name redacted), a campaign committee, and certain special interest groups,” according to a filing signed by the five district attorneys in the case.
The campaign committee under the microscope?

Almost certainly it’s the Friends of Scott Walker, the governor’s campaign committee.
“Good guess,” said one source familiar with the probe. “That’s it.”

Several others, however, were reluctant to identify the governor’s campaign, noting the secrecy order remains in place. A John Doe probe is similar to a grand jury in that it allows prosecutors to collect evidence and gather testimony in secret.

In an earlier Journal Sentinel article by Patrick Marley, Jason Stein and Daniel Bice, it was pointed out that Walker’s campaign also paid $86,000 to defense lawyers at a legal firm one would hire if they were being probed. Of the five suspects, we have tax exempt 501©4 “social welfare” nonprofit the Wisconsin Club for Growth, which outed itself as one of the groups under investigation. Source Watch details, “Wisconsin Club for Growth (WCFG) is a state arm of the national Club for Growth, and one of the top political spenders in Wisconsin. WCFG spent $9.1 million during the Wisconsin recall elections, and has reportedly received a subpoena in a John Doe probe into possible campaign finance violations during those races.” Naturally the Kochs are involved because wherever you see Governor Walker, a Koch brother is not far behind:

WCFG’s Board of Directors includes Eric O’Keefe, a right-wing political operative with deep ties to the Koch brothers, and who helped form groups including the Franklin Center for Government and Public Integrity and American Majority. WCFG is led by RJ Johnson, a close Walker ally and advisor.

4. It seems Scott Walker is not coming to the table with clean hands, perhaps the details

Will emerge, he does not appear to be honest. The GOP bunch pushes Jeb but I think he had some problems at the end of his governor's term. Oh, I forgot, it is only a problem when Democrat's mess up.

Only a problem when the dems mess up? Ask the MSM how much of a problem it is. Seems to me they never hammer it when a dem screws up.

8. "..Beyond Governor Scott Walker’s slobbering submission to the Koch brothers,..

...what is going on here is an example of why the Republicans made a big deal out of a fake IRS scandal. They ginned up that scandal to tire the public of the subject, because the truth is that they are abusing the Citizens United ruling. Scott Walker’s campaign’s intimate ties with Club for Growth are the perfect example of how they are doing this...."

It's the Koch brothers now!!! I guess KKKarl Rove is passe now.   :mental:

20. Just my opinion only but I think that the recall election

was rigged. Also, Walker thinks he has GAWD's blessing re: President of the Free World. He is dangerous like the other GOPers.

He is the darling of the KOCH brothers.

Rigged!!!! The election was rigged!!!!!eleventy 11111!!!!!

22. When he's indicted, I'll get excited.

It seems difficult to make any charges stick to these monsters.

Now this is how you mole. Slap the dummies with reality and then bring them back with hating the evil monsters.
BTW... I can neither confirm or deny this is my mole.

27. i`m not sure if he`s going to do it this time

he`s screwed over both the democratic and republican voters. his huge loss in the capital singing case could cost the state even more money than he has wasted so far. the latest highway sign contract is`t playing very well. hiring a guy from texas to run the wisconsin dept of natural resources(?) has pissed off a lot of small town business. if i read correctly his mining deal is just been killed for now.

the problem is..who will run against him?

One of the Koch brothers?

25. He's been "under investigation" for years and years

And skated every time while subordinates doing his bidding get punished (albeit slightly for their transgressions flouting electoral law).

I hope for the best, but expect he will slither away again. I HATE him and what he has done and continues to do to Wisconsin.

Now that Crispy is seemingly out of 2016, Weasel Walker is on the Koch payroll to head to the top of the muck pile. Mentioned frequently as a possible contender in "news" programs like Hardball with NO mention of his crooked and evil policies and past.

Under investigation for years? I had not heard that.


That is it for now, folks. Small bonfire. Might get bigger, might not. Might have toasted legs.   :tongue:

Scott Walker has been under phony investigations since the unions failed in their bid to recall him. They won't be satisfied until they hound him from office like they did Sarah Palin.

Obama and Co. are in overdrive trying to silence their opposition.

Sarah Palin, the Tea Party, Herman Cain, Christie, Walker etc.

I HATE him and what he has done and continues to do to Wisconsin.

- Billion dollar deficits into Billion dollar surplus.
- Rehired UNION teachers and saved more layoffs.
- Attempting to pass property tax reductions.
- Gives Teachers the FREE CHOICE to join a Union, or not. How's that surging Union membership going, (D)Ummies?  :thatsright:


Yep, ....I so hate him.   :whatever:

I hope I can say the same thing here in VA 4 years from now,  but with Terry McDUmbass as governor, I ain't holding my breath.

I'll be blue, and it won't be because of the weather.

Oh you wouldn't believe the HUGE buzz around the water cooler this morning about this! 

Not really.

Oh yeah!  I remember when that happened, everybody across the country was shocked and outraged!!!

Not really. 

Lower state income taxes and property taxes are almost unheard of.  If I ever had a decrease, I'd faint dead away.  DUmmies, people vote with their wallets.  Your hatred is just so much impotent rage.

Happy Fitzmas everybody!

Newly-unsealed court documents and media leaks add to a growing body of evidence that Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s campaign is at the center of a wide-ranging secret probe into campaign finance violations during the state's contentious 2011 and 2012 recall elections.

Isn't it just amazing when a conservative is successful in pullin' his state outa the cesspool these chogladites attack him/her? Tell me again what success is DUmbasses! According to you pukes, bankrupting a state for teachers unions while having many lose their jobs is A-OK. What college do you go to for that kind of logic? Uranus U?
