Wisconsin: Walkergate II - comprehensive update from Cog Dis

Lots more here than can be captured in four paragraphs. Especially enjoyed seeing Rancid Penis and Lyin' Ryan's names linked to the wrongdoing.

It appears the state-related case opened in February 2012, meaning it was active at the same time as the one focusing on Walker's county aides. However, several sources said they became aware of the newer probe only in the past month and that much of the recent activity has taken place in Madison.

...


The most obvious connection to Walker staffers in Milwaukee County and current Walker staff in Madison is obvious – the possibility that campaigning is being conducted on the taxpayer dime. Recent emails from high level Walker staff regarding the mining bill drafting process may confirm that this type of activity is occurring, and thus confirm Bice’s “unconfirmed rumors.”

An email from then – Walker Chief of Staff Keith Gilkes pgs 11-12 of the document*) on January 30, 2011 from his Champion Group email to his new government email account references campaign fundraising to a lobbyist for Gogebic Taconite.

...

In this scenario, we find that staffers for Fitzgerald and his brother, former State Representative Jeff Fitzgerald and a staffer from Congressman Paul Ryan were sharing emails on their private emails regarding the gerrymandering.

The Milw. Co. John Doe was prob. incorporated into the federal investigation as Wanker's fingers reached across the state. I pray for justice!!
