General Discussion
Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsMy most trusted sources are saying that Gov. Scott Walker (well into his big RW rockstar phase) aka
John Doe, will be indicted in September. My most trusted sources, for the record, are primarily Wisconsin elected officials and their staff. Below are several related background links.

(12,336 posts)As a matter of fact, I consider myself sort of a dingbat rural folk, although not in Wisconsin. My point is that it gets fucking tiresome for you elitist dingbats to keep on calling people names because you are oh so superior.

(36,063 posts)Clearly Sep is within 90 days of the Nov elections. I'm just wondering.
I'd be glad to see Walker indicted, but I don't feel like it's something I don't need to get invested in until an indictment is handed down.

I'd guess that's partly the reasoning that he'll squeal to work out a deal.
It's really more a guideline then a strict rule.

(7,395 posts)-- he says what happened in Wisconsin has given him hope.
Me: What? What happened in Wisconsin?
Father-in-law: Well, you know, the recall election?
Me: What? Then that guy's a nut. Walker's a criminal. He's going to prison. He's the worst kind of influence-peddler.
Father-in-law: We'd better not talk about this.
And therefore we did not.
Frankly, seeing Walker's smirking little bastard face behind bars would just be a wonderful goddamned thing.
'Hi, Scot, this is David Koch. How're they treating you in there'?
'Is this really David Koch? I'm so glad! No one calls me anymore!'
'Well, no, this isn't. But I just wanted to check on you anyway. Gettin' any?'

(3,596 posts)I hope this is true. So after the final battle lines are drawn with the two political conventions behind us and in the push toward election day we will see Walker, the Koch brothers' bitch, indicted? Deeeee-lightful, as that trust-busting, ecologist Republican President Teddy Roosevelt used to say.
ewagner
(18,964 posts)I've talked to legislative staff who tell me they have "no idea" what the investigation will bring or when it will wrap up. I think there are some staff members who are hoping against all hope that Walker will be indicted but have nothing but gut instincts to go on.
For the record...I sincerely wish your sources are better than mine.

(4,949 posts)Assistant District Attorney Bruce Landgraf filed a motion this week seeking to amend a criminal complaint against Rindfleisch to show massive email evidence of her alleged fundraising contacts while at her job as policy adviser and deputy chief of staff to Walker in his final year as Milwaukee County executive.
The additional evidence shows the charges against her "were not innocent mistakes and were part of an intentional and knowing plan to conduct ongoing campaign activity," Landgraf states. Among the additional evidence he wants to include are contacts Rindfleisch had with campaign aides to Brett Davis, then a Republican Assembly member and lieutenant governor candidate, and fundraising hosts.
Landgraf says he wants to use the information to help provide additional context of previously charged misconduct or else add eight more counts against Rindfleisch. She already faces four felony charges that each carry maximum penalties of six years in prison and a $40,000 fine.
