2. Well, that big defense fund of his can only be used for three things

Himself, his campaign, or his campaign aides. Walker has said that it was not for his aides, and his campaign isn't under investigation, so who does that leave? He just moved another $100,000 into the defense fund which makes it $160,000.

But nothing will happen before the election.

9. It will probably take a few months. Yesterday Walker's closest aide spilled the beans in court.

An indictment is practically assured. Even if he should win today, Walker most likely
won't be governor for long now. The slippery eel has done his last crooked stunt.
