According to lawyers familiar with a Milwaukee criminal corruption probe, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is now a "target" for prosecution.The legal sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Walker faces "serious legal challenges," including a "possible indictment" regardless of the gubernatorial recall election results on Tuesday.
The investigation began in 2010 when Walker served as Milwaukee County executive.
Six people have been charged, with accusations ranging from campaigning for Walker on government time to embezzlement. 13 other Walker associates have been given immunity from prosecution in exchange for their testimony in the case.
This week, Governor Walker acknolwedged he has now transferred $160,000 from his campaign accounts to a legal defense fund. Mr. Walker confirmed the money is strictly for his own defense and not for any current or former staff.
Lawyers for Governor Walker recently appeared at the Milwaukee courthouse but refused to say why they were there. The lawyers have also refused to comment on the Governor's status in the investigation.
Walker has to be the most “vetted” Republican pol in history at this point. If they (the Dems, the MSM and the unions) had *anything* at all on this guy, they would have found it in the last 14 months. The guy is squeeky clean at this point. Rest easy.
Sounds like a Dem prosecutor looking for payback by intimidating/threatening/bribing his former employees to come up with any possible violation of county or campaign rules - like answering a phone during business hours, use of a copy/fax machine or government computer to send an email (embezzlement), etc. Shades of Rat tactics against Sarah. Of course, using government funds/resources/personnel is standard practice for Dems, especially public union employees.
