This is all old news. It was thrown out of court TWICE back in December. Now it is being put out there by the “press” and they are hoping that even though it was thrown out of court twice, that people will believe just the “accusation” even though it is not true! The dems will drop to any level to disgrace any potential candidate for the Presidency. This is just the beginning of their dirty tricks.

Walleye Walker for Prez 2016?

It was put out there under order of a Federal judge. And the instigator was Walker’s allies suing in the first place to try and keep their dirty dealings with Walker from being exposed.

Doesn’t take long for you little drones to start repeating his spin, does it?

Rush devoted a good chunk of his comedy show to defending Walker with the same talking points. However, . . .

“The documents include an excerpt from an email in which Walker tells Karl Rove, former top adviser to President
George W. Bush, that Johnson would lead the coordination campaign. Johnson also is Walker’s longtime campaign
strategist and the chief adviser to Wisconsin Club for Growth, a prominent conservative group.
“Bottom-line: R.J. helps keep in place a team that is wildly successful in Wisconsin. We are running 9 recall elections
and it will be like 9 congressional markets in every market in the state (and Twin Cities),” Walker wrote to Rove on May 4, 2011.
Rove runs American Crossroads, which backs Republican congressional and presidential candidates.”

this one is hitting home big time. . .

HIS spin? I’m sure it was carefully focus grouped. And he sure as hell didn’t pay for it.

The prosecution is not just a partisan effort. Some of the prosecutors are Republicans.

Yesterday, Walker said he hadn’t read the documents, couldn’t recall anything in particular, wasn’t aware of illegality, and certainly couldn’t imagine that he would ever send an email to Karl Rove.

I wonder why all of a sudden he’s retreated back to his right-wing bubble of victimization…

Does Walker think all five of the District Attorneys investigating him are partisan? Even the Republican ones? What about the two judges that he has deemed are the most important people in this case? Are they partisan as well? And what about the judges Walker doesn’t want to talk about? When Judge Randa first ruled in favor of Walker, Walker didn’t want to weigh in one way or another on that ruling. Why the sudden change in opinion?

The Prosecutors’ claims were their legal response to Walker’s conservative buddies, who sued to quash the subpoenas against them. It’s not the media’s fault that Walker’s allies escalated to Federal court, trying to cover their own behinds.

Just out of curiosity… Do you think all investigations or accusations regarding politicians can be dismissed as dirty tricks? Or just the investigations and accusations leveled against Scott Walker or other Republicans? I’m sincerely interested to know how far you are willing to take your logic. Are you just reacting out of partisanship or are you sincerely worried about the role that political “witch hunts” play in trying to disgrace any politician that claims to stand up to special interests?

Shorter version: We work hard to find loopholes in election laws. And, we will continue to work hard to find quasi-legal means to bypass that pesky democracy thing, and to rig elections. We conservatives wear sleaze as a badge of honor.

Since the first John Doe investigation only netted six convictions for Walker’s cronies, it makes perfect sense to pretend it’s just dirty tricks. If he knew what his closest advisers and campaign staff were doing, he is corrupt. If he didn’t know, he is incompetent. Granted, incompetence isn’t a crime. It’s unfortunate that so many Wisconsinites are so enamored by our corrupt and/or incompetent governor.

That’s some fine authentic frontier Palinesque “I the victim of a lamestream media conspiracy” gibberish there, that is.

“We will continue to fight to make life better for the good people of Wisconsin.”

I’m confused. I didn’t think the Koch Brothers lived in Wisconsin.

Partisans prosecutors??? So only Republican can be investigated by Republican investigators and prosecutors? How about two partisan jurist at both the state and federal levels. Judge Randa is partisan to the core, he have recused himself from hearing this case. His decision reads like partisan screed on behalf of the Koch Brothers which funds Club for Growth and funds Judge Randa trips to their various conferences. A complaint should be filed against to judicial performance review board for conflict of interest.

“Watching the media frenzy it is clear that this is what happens when someone takes on the big government special interests. They push back.”

Watching Walker dig himself a deeper hole it is clear that this is what happens when someone is backed by big corporate special interests. They push back.

They have to. When you’re as crooked as Walker and owned by billionaires, you don’t have much choice.
