Walkergate: Walker Gets His Invitation To The Ball (Cog Dis)

http://cognidissidence.blogspot.com/2012/10/walkergate-walker-gets-his-invitation.html?cid=dlvr.it

When I heard that Scott Walker had been subpoenaed for the Kelly Rindfleisch trial next week, I was sure that there was some kind of mistake.

I mean this was the guy who was cooperating with the authorities. All one had to do was ask him, or his spokesman, Cullen Werwie (one of the score of people given immunity in the hearings) or his campaign and they would tell you how cooperative Walker is. After all, this is the guy that has plugged hundreds of thousands of dollars into his legal cooperation fund!

It couldn't have been a subpoena with all that cooperation. It had to be an invitation, done in the finest calligraphy and starting out with something like "You are cordially invited to..."

But, alas, I was wrong. It was a full blown subpoena.

Well, that isn't really much of a surprise. We already knew that Walker was on the potential witness list.

But there were two other things that I noticed today, which were rather interesting if not surprising.
