The Other Shoe Drops for Scott Walker. Another John Doe Probe Revealed and It's Statewide!

Source: Daily Kos

A former top-level assistant U.S. attorney has been appointed a special prosecutor in a burgeoning, secret investigation into a wide variety of state issues, including possible campaign violations during the recent recall elections, multiple sources said.
Francis Schmitz — who spent nearly 30 years as a federal prosecutor and was once a finalist for U.S. attorney in Milwaukee — is leading the widespread John Doe probe, according to sources.

Overseeing the case is Kenosha County Circuit Judge Barbara A. Kluka, who has been used by Milwaukee County judicial officials in past John Doe cases.

This is the type of news that normally dumps out late on Friday, but here it is first thing on Monday. Better yet, this probe was going on BEFORE the Milwaukee County John Doe Probe closed after the conviction of Kelly Reindfleisch, the former top aide to County Executive Scott Walker and 6th associate of his to be charged and convicted.

Up to and after the recall vote DU was full of naysayers and Monday morning QBs (supposedly from WI) saying they never *really* wanted a recall and that it wasn't justified and the whole thing was a PR disaster from start to finish...

"situation" (both good, BTW, "Forward" and "Citizen Koch" if you get a chance, probably online) and I can tell you, I have a visceral feeling of revulsion when I hear that dipstick's voice or see his dopey face.... I had that same "grab the remote and MUTE that clown" feeling with W.

I suddenly feel sick when I see or hear him. Occasionally when someone mentions his name in connection with a 2016 run for the Presidency, it totally overwhelms me.

I have now banned him in my home, along with a few others. If he appears on a show, I boycott it. If he unexpectedly appears on my television screen, I can't switch channels or turn the set off quickly enough.

How any human being could vote this man (and I use the term loosely) is beyond me.

I don't want to talk politics with anyone I am 'not sure of' as it pertains to Walker, because I am afraid I could not talk to that person any more.

How anyone can buy that crap he's shoveling, I don't know. It really means I would have to see someone unworthy of my attention if they supported him. That's cold, I know, but really, I feel that much revulsion at the thought of him.

I know that was an error. It happens constantly in xian comments, even in print.

But it's significant. The stain left by cancervatives and teapigs as they try to pin every hateful remark or policy on christ.
