I am amazed that Walker would bring up John Doe. Just am.


I think the first time Walker went to IOWA (if memory if correct) he loudly complained of how he and his wife were put in danger because of the protesters. Damn--every time he goes someplace he makes himself out to be the victim. What a prick!






Scott Walker, prosecutors trade pointed swipes on John Doe


By Patrick Marley of the Journal Sentinel
April 25, 2015


.....In a separate statement, Schmitz said he was surprised Walker would "speak publicly about specific issues which are now before the Wisconsin Supreme Court for a decision."

"His description of the investigation as a 'political witch hunt' is offensive when he knows that the investigation was authorized by a bipartisan group of judges and is directed by a Republican special prosecutor appointed at the request of a bipartisan group of district attorneys," Schmitz's statement said.

He called Walker's comments inaccurate but didn't detail why.

"I invite the governor to join me in seeking judicial approval to lawfully release information now under seal which would be responsive to the allegations that have been made," his statement said. "Such information, when lawfully released, will show that these recent allegations are patently false."

Chisholm said he agreed with Schmitz's statement.

"Stripped of niceties, Mr. Schmitz is saying the governor is deliberately not telling the truth," Chisholm's statement said.

"The truth is always a defense, so let's get the truth out in a legal manner, not through lies, distortions and misrepresentations."...........




Sidebar of MJS article:

PIC of Walker should be here but am having trouble with the transfer:
“I said even if you’re a liberal Democrat, you should look at (the raids) and be frightened to think that if the government can do that against people of one political persuasion, they can do it against anybody, and more often than not we need protection against the government itself.” - Gov. Scott Walker, during interview with Des Moines radio station WHO-AM

“As to defamatory remarks, I strongly suspect the Iowa criminal code, like Wisconsin’s, has provisions for intentionally making false statements intended to harm the reputation of others.” - John Chisholm, Milwaukee County district attorney, responding to Walker’s comments.

Edit again--here is link to article in MJS.

I am having problems posting some of the images so I will just delete them as they are not working anyway.

I wonder if the Milwaukee prosecutor has a case on defamatory remarks?

As for the other links--I was trying to transport the photo links-but for some reason 2 of 3 did not transfer--first one was just a pic of Walker in IOWA. Sorry--I have not had problems posting pics before.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court is soon due to make a ruling regarding the John Doe investigation into Scott Walker and his illegal collaboration with third party dark money groups, such as the Wisconsin Club for Growth. Even though four of the seven justices are obliged to recuse themselves due to the large amount of support they received from WCfG and other such dark money groups, they have shown no indication that they will be doing the proper thing.
The possibility of this going south for Walker and the dark money groups have them scared to death. If all of Walker's misdeeds come to the light of day, it will sink his presidential bid just as fast as if he was caught deflowering a virgin goat. Even if their Machiavellian scheme to bury the John Doe works, the fact that the Supreme Court is so tainted will raise doubt in people capable of independent thought.

In preparation for whatever the results, the right wing is doing preemptive strikes to gain sympathy for Walker and his fellow scofflaws. The right wing has decided that the best course of action is to clutch their pearls and swoon back on their fainting couches.

One of the most notorious of these strikes is the God-awrful dreck penned by David French at the National Review.

he's a friggin' candy-ass crybaby. He's had everything go his way for years. I can't wait to see how he reacts when he finally gets his pasty white ass handed to him.

That said, I've seen too many "investigations" dry up or end up in a non-disclosure fine. I don't get my hopes up on investigations any more.

Let's hope I'm wrong.

with badger stickers on them.

in Madison for a long time. Am up in Central WI with nothing but hate radio.

I hear radios on in cars and trucks all the time spitting out that crap.

by protesting the universities endorsement of it on 2 limbaugh stations. i think WIBA in madison is one of them.

the badger is being used to defund the university and public ed in WI and attack teachers! making it an issue with campus protests etc would scare a lot of advertisers.

the money they get from the radio licensing portion may be miniscule compared to the overall, there are plenty of apolitical stations around who might want to do the games, and there's online also- they have NO rational defense for not looking for alternatives for their support of the walker/KKK radio, no matter when their existing media contracts may expire.

IMO protesting at the stations (and UW) that were attacking the capitol protestors and supporting walker would have worked better than protesting at the capitol.

dems need to make it an issue.

In the immortal words of the indomitable Charlie Skinner

Be a fucking newsman!

I too am flabergasted at the blatant lies of the RW Blaze guests. What a bunch of crap--and it is probably making its rounds in RW hate radio also
The second video --short--tells of how Walker is personalizing the John doe investigation.

Walker now talking John Doe details, oozing confidence Activist Supreme Court will apparently let him off.

...to hear Scott Walker describe the John Doe's, it was a witch hunt and another way to “intimidate” other conservatives into silence:

Des Moines radio station WHO-AM - Walker: “I said even if you’re a liberal Democrat, you should look at (the raids) and be frightened to think that if the government can do that against people of one political persuasion, they can do it against anybody, and more often than not we need protection against the government itself. As (the National Review) pointed out, there were real questions about the constitutionality of much of what they did, but it was really about people trying to intimidate people ... They were looking for just about anything. As I pointed out at the time, it was largely a political witch hunt.

"

My conservative friend in Milwaukee sent me this clip from The Blaze, where poor defenseless conservative victims of liberal witch hunts come to bare their souls and cry like little babies. To be honest, you won't even believe the bullshit here, which is why I had to post it:




#t=0


While conservative talk hosts believe everything Republican politicians say, with no follow-up questions ever, Milwaukee DA John Chisholm looked at it differently, and had an even stronger message, minus whining:

they might ask about this.

Walker has been talking up these issues on the stump!


DWMPJM

That's the Alec playbook in his hands telling him to talk about gay marriage, guns, god, right to work and all the other brain dead wedge issues that get hillbillies to vote for him. Walker has to do something. .His poll numbers are horrible in his own state while he pretends to be a presidential candidate.

Chisholm's statement said.

"The truth is always a defense, so let's get the truth out in a legal manner, not through lies, distortions and misrepresentations."
Scott Walker will never take Schmitz up on his offer to seek release of documents of the John Doe probe because Walker knows he would be exposed as a crook and a liar.
