Wisconsin governor under criminal probe, CNN

http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/us/2014/06/20/tsr-dnt-todd-scott-walker-legal-problems.cnn.html

Walker coordinated his recall campaign with outside conservative groups. He didn`t just coordinate, he micromanaged. Prosecutors say he broke the law. Once there is coordination those outside groups lose the ability to not be considered campaign contribution and must then follow all the rules. So Democrats are pouncing. Walker has not been charged and calls the accusations false. He says two judges have said they didn`t buy into the accusations. It will be hard for prosecutors to prove the case. But his opponents in the 2016 presidential race will be able to make hay of the scandal.

I post things because they have a single point that is new. Hope it doesn`t annoy.
