Win or lose, Scott Walker may be indicted...

[Archae]

Frog march the bastard!

On the Young Turks Friday, David Shuster claimed that he is almost certain that Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker will be indicted in the coming months for his role in the numerous scandals floating around his first campaign for governor. Shuster later clarified his claim on the Take Action News Facebook page:

According to lawyers familiar with a Milwaukee criminal corruption probe, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is now a "target" for prosecution.

The legal sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Walker faces "serious legal challenges," including a "possible indictment" regardless of the gubernatorial recall election results on Tuesday.

1. People vs. John Doe (aka Snotty Scotty Walker)....

has a nice ring to it.

5. Hey!

The "Snotty Scotty" moniker is reserved for Scott Richter, aka "The Spam King" (not Sanford Wallace)

2. If Wisconsinites don't recall Walker, then I *never* want to hear

a Wisconsinite belittle "flat landers" from Illinois for political corruption in Illinois politics.

[Scuba]

4. Agreed, but don't forget where the Fitzgeralds come from.

[shcrane71]

7. Are they from Illinois? I had no idea... obviously.

Thanks.

[Ellipsis]

9. As long as they bring their money.

15. I don't know anyone badger who wants to belittle you guys for your governor picks.

We love the way you pick governors. We see them as potential revenue generating residents in our prisons!

You've done such a great job of showing us the way with Governors that we're trying to put our own in the Can.

18. the days of country club time at Osh Kosh are over

Our governors now do hard time at Terre Haute and Englewood.

20. lol! Thanks... but for the record, I'm from Iowa.

I lived in Wisconsin for awhile. It was surprising to meet so many Wisconsinites who didn't know that Iowa is one of their neighboring states.

3. How can this be legal?

"This week, Governor Walker acknolwedged he has now transferred $160,000 from his campaign accounts to a legal defense fund. Mr. Walker confirmed the money is strictly for his own defense and not for any current or former staff."

6. Don't hold your breath.

I don't see it happening.

[postulater]

8. You mean Scott 'I am Not a Crook' Walker?

[WillyT]

10. HUGE K & R !!! - Thank You !!!

[AverageJoe90]

11. Good news.

[Fearless]

12. I'd laugh if he stole the election...

Only to go to prison and have to give it up again.


Of course, I'd rather he get blown out of the water here and THEN go to prison.

13. Remember Fitzmas in 2005?

Neither does hardly anybody else, because it was more like anticipating getting a Play Station for Christmas and instead getting pair of socks from your aunt.

14. ooh yay, governor Kleefisch

:barf:

16. Is this a parody? It's almost word for word of what SHUSTER pulled about the KKKKarl "indictment"

Once again I was in the wilderness here, generally about my wariness of Keith OLBERMAN, but also about SHUSTER, who assured us for weeks that the KKKarl indictment was coming according to his sources. Then it ended with that part about "working days" or "calendar days" when the days expired by one count then the other count.

After it all came to naught SHUSTER went public with who his "sources" were: Attorneys who had experience with clients in front of grand juries. Not THIS grand jury and not anybody connected with the KKKarl case, and not anybody with actual knowledge of things going on inside the grand jury or inside FITZGERALD's office. In other words, the people feeding him were acting as PUNDITS giving their "expert opinions" or "expert insight."

I suspected back then that Keith and SHUSTER (and SHUSTER had worked for Faux) were filling the role of telling us what we wanted to hear, the same way that Faux tells wingnuts what they want to hear.

I'm just asking, is the O.P. link a parody?!1 And, if not, I'll just beware about SHUSTER no matter how much I want to believe.

17. The thing that bothers me is many of the people voting for him

most know this. Who would willingly vote for someone who commits crimes? I think republicans should live in their own world with their own rules since they don't seem to want to follow the ones we have.

19. because they HATE the public unions......

is all I can think of.
