The Walker Probe Intensifies
March 25, 2015 - 1:00pm

An investigative article published this week for Yahoo News by Chief Investigative Correspondent, Michael Isikoff claims to have uncovered a secret/dark money contributions in the Scott Walker John Doe probe. The donation is of $1.5million dollars from a Wisconsin billionaire owner of Menards home improvement stores which has since received over $1.8 million in special tax credits. Mr. Isikoff joins Kathleen to discuss what he has uncovered along with the Executive Director of Common Cause in Wisconsin, a local non-partisan, non-profit citizen's lobby focused on campaign finance, and other issues promoting accountable government.

4. Prosecutors accuse Gov. Scott Walker of overseeing a sweeping “criminal scheme”

Is there a “smoking gun” to take Walker down like the obvious evidence in the first John Doe investigation that declared that “SKW” (aka Scott Walker) was involved in covering up and knowing about the secret email system used on taxpayer time to run for governor? You would think that even the hardest, most ravenous fans of Walker would wince that perhaps those of us who see obvious corruption in the first batch of released documents were on to something. The major media channels yawned at the results of the first John Doe investigation. Now they are beginning to pay attention.

Prosecutors allege that Johnson was at the center of a coordinated effort between several nonprofit organizations, so-called “social welfare” groups, that worked to support Walker’s recall campaign. Coordination between nonprofits and campaign committees runs afoul of Wisconsin campaign finance laws.

Chisholm’s team of prosecutors define the effort as a “criminal scheme,” and that’s the terminology seized on by most of the media covering the story Thursday. Of particular interest to most reporters was a May 4, 2011, email from Walker to Karl Rove, George W. Bush’s political strategist and frequent cable TV commentator.

“Bottom-line: R.J. helps keep in place a team that is wildly successful in Wisconsin,” Walker allegedly wrote to Rove. “We are running 9 recall elections and it will be like running 9 Congressional markets in every market in the state (and Twin Cities.)”

5. Isikoff dances real good

I just listened to the entire interview of Isikoff and was very disappointed. He really didn't answer questions but danced all around the issues.
