MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a potential 2016 Republican presidential candidate, took part in a nationwide criminal scheme to coordinate fundraising with conservative groups, prosecutors said in court documents unsealed Thursday.

No charges have been filed against Walker or any member of his staff. The documents were filed in December as part of an investigation into alleged illegal fundraising and campaign coordination by Walker and his campaign, the Wisconsin Club for Growth, the state Chamber of Commerce and other groups.

That is part of the rat mud slinging operation that they have been using for quite awhile. They own the press, everyone knows that. But it doesn't slow them down because it still works to some degree.

They took out Herman Cain with coordinated lies because he was a threat to Obama, He could speak the plain truth to America. He had too much power and had to be removed. Out came the broads and you know the rest. Same thing going on here.

Gov Walker is a powerhouse. Do what ever it takes, and they will try anything.

You are so right. This is just ugly fascism/communism.

Unlike you though, I am hardly optimistic about intelligence of the American people to see through it.

Leaked by anonymous prosecutors who were slammed by the judge in the case.

White males are the most discriminated against group. Just because it is done ‘legally’ doesn’t make it right.

We need to hang onto that. It will be all we have soon and needs to be our bedrock.

This aspect of the story isn’t being reported on various websites. This is a case of a GOP star being slimed with news of charges that aren’t real, but are being spread anyway in an attempt to destroy him before he can become a danger to the Rats.

Yahoo is simply promoting this to take the heat of the IRS email scandal.

so fundraising with conservative groups is a criminal scheme????

This prosecutor’s cashing of his paycheck every week is the criminal scheme.

I saw another article about this, and apparently the CONSERVATIVE group involved in the case agreed to making the info public, believing that getting the facts out in the open would be beneficial to Walker. But the media are spinning it the other way.

Everybody go to the link and read the last five paragraphs. This story is a blatant fabrication of what the CURRENT state of this case is. The story makes it sound like something new, but the courts have already ruled in favor of Walker, twice.

So I can:

Cross the border illegally.
Destroy IRS documents.
Threaten people at the polls.
Funnel money to campaign donors.

But I can’t organize a movement against any of this?

The documents were filed in December as part of an investigation into alleged illegal fundraising attempt by liberals to derail any potential Presidential candidacy by Governor Walker...

We cannot allow our Tom Delays and Scott Walkers to be taken out of the game by this sort of crap.
