Prosecutors say Scott Walker at center of `criminal scheme'

Madison — Prosecutors allege that Gov. Scott Walker was at the center of an effort to illegally coordinate fundraising among conservative groups to help his campaign and those of Republican senators fend off recall elections during 2011 and '12, according to documents unsealed Thursday.
In the documents, prosecutors lay out what they call a "criminal scheme" to bypass state election laws by Walker, his campaign and two top deputies — R.J. Johnson and Deborah Jordahl.
The governor and his close confidants helped raise money and control spending through 12 conservative groups during the recall elections, according to the prosecutors' filings.
The documents include an email in which Walker tells Karl Rove, former top adviser to President George W. Bush, that Johnson would lead the coordination campaign. Johnson is also chief adviser to Wisconsin Club for Growth, a conservative group active in the recall elections.
"Bottom-line: R.J. helps keep in place a team that is wildly successful in Wisconsin. We are running 9 recall elections and it will be like 9 congressional markets in every market in the state (and Twin Cities)," Walker wrote to Rove on May 4, 2011.

He should destroy his hard drive.
No evidence, no crime.

Y'all are quick with the obfuscation.

Hopefully there will be some evidence available to investigate. Would hate to see seven hard drives crash simultaneously and derail any chance at exonerating him.

Considering the way that the left completely lost their shite in their attempts to beat Walker in the general election and again in the recall election, you'll excuse me if I think the entire thing is a horseshite recycling of the playbook used against former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay by the Travis County, Texas, DA

I don't really know much of the facts yet. I don't know how much of that info has been made public. Nor do I know the state law that would apply here. Just finding out about it all like everyone else.
