A smarter move, knowing the press would find out, would have been to say yes, but no charges after the investigation. But then it is Walker, from WI, a Pub governor…so who could ever say he was smart???

And yet… Whitewater.

Where Ms. Clinton was never prosecuted and three separate inquiries by the SEC found insufficient evidence linking her with the criminal conduct of others related to the land deal.

Oh, that’s right - the rules are different if you’re a Republican.

I’m confused. Did Hillary Clinton ever state that she wasn’t a target of the Whitewater investigations?

I don’t think she ever said she wasn’t, but my point in mentioning it is that Whitewater and Travelgate and all the rest of the phony ‘scandals’ will be core to the GOP’s attacks on Hillary, should she be the Democratic candidate for POTUS. At least in this case, with the numerous investigations performed on all of these, she was cleared of wrongdoing in all of them, Hasn’t stopped the GOP from the continued attacks.

If Walker is the candidate, his involvement in this will be dismissed. Won’t even be raised as a topic of conversation.

Double standard.

Part of the problem might be that words like “target” and “subject” when used in a legal sense actually have specific meanings. So you can be investigated all day long for months and still not be the “target” of a particular investigation. So saying you were never a ‘target’ of an investigation can still be legally and technically correct even though you were investigated as part of the investigation.

Of course he’s a felon. This is merely confirmation.

I don’t know, this is sort of weak sauce. If no charges were filed he may not even been aware of PC. A better question is why weren’t charges filed on a case where they had PC to believe he committed a felony.

Scott Walker is (reportedly) a male and white. Add that to Hillary being Hillary and HATED by the Main Stream Media (see NYT false articles), you don’t need any further reasons.

If you’re a republican politio you can easily say:“That was my doppelganger.” “I wasn’t investigated. That investigation into my real estate deal that I wasn’t involved in wasn’t directed at me even tho it was.”

Writing in republican word salad it hard.

Anybody that crosses Trump or his campaign director gets sued. See CNN’s web site . Apparently Trump’s campaign director didn’t like being recorded by that AZ worker who posted some nasty stuff on Facebook.
