Walkergate: That's A Whole Lotta Cooperating!

http://cognidissidence.blogspot.com/2012/04/walkergate-thats-whole-lotta.html

Last month, Scott Walker announced that he was creating a Legal Cooperation Fund. For most people, it would've been call a legal defense fund, but Walker cannot bring himself to be honest with the people of Wisconsin, so he brought in two high-priced attorneys to help him "cooperate" with the DA's office in its ongoing Walkergate investigation.

What Walker didn't tell us is that he had hired these lawyers sometime last year.

We learned that today when Dan Bice broke the story that Walker has racked up somewhere between $55,000 and $99,999 in legal bills:

But the first-term Republican governor must have retained the pair long before he made it public.

As of Dec. 31, Walker owed more than $50,000 to Sidley Austin, a large Chicago-based firm that employs Gallo. Walker also disclosed that he owed between $5,000 and $50,000 to Terschan, Steinle & Ness, the Milwaukee firm where Steinle is a partner.
