Walker says prosecutors want to talk about campaign

Gov. Scott Walker acknowledged Monday that prosecutors initiated the upcoming meeting they will have with him as part of the John Doe investigation about activities that occurred during Walker's tenure as Milwaukee County executive.

"Up until now, we've provided written documentation (from the campaign)," Walker said during a briefing with reporters in Waukesha. "They'd like to talk to us about what they've found and what additional help we can provide."

In his five-minute briefing on Monday, the first-term governor wouldn't say when he was to meet with Chisholm, except that the sit-down would not occur Monday.

"That's up to the district attorney to announce."

..... 150 miles from the state capital in Steubenville, OH @ an elementary
school. I think he didn't want the "Walker treatment" during his speech.

BTW Scott has nothing on being a crook on John Kasich ....
he and his wall street buddies have found a way to use borrowed
money to buy all the profits from liquor sales for the next 25 years.

The court for the trial of impeachments shall be composed of the senate. The assembly shall have the power of impeaching all civil officers of this state for corrupt conduct in office, or for crimes and misdemeanors; but a majority of all the members elected shall concur in an impeachment. On the trial of an impeachment against the governor, the lieutenant governor shall not act as a member of the court. No judicial officer shall exercise his office, after he shall have been impeached, until his acquittal. Before the trial of an impeachment the members of the court shall take an oath or affirmation truly and impartially to try the impeachment according to evidence; and no person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two?thirds of the members present. Judgment in cases of impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from office, or removal from office and disqualification to hold any office of honor, profit or trust under the state; but the party impeached shall be liable to indictment, trial and punishment according to law.
