The GOP is facing a big blow after the next June 5 election, as Governor Walker and five others expected to be charged in the John Doe probe in Milwaukee County.

Milwaukee – On Friday, investigative information released by a reliable source indicated that Governor Scott Walker (R) and up to five others in the governor’s circle while he was Milwaukee County executive will be facing several felony charges resulting from the John Doe investigation. The Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office (DA) is expected to file charges against Walker and five other suspects on allegations that they used county time to campaign to help elect Walker as governor while working and restricted other Walker employees from exposing alleged unethical acts to the DA probe.
So far, at least six former Walker staffers have been charged in the John Doe investigation, including one that is waiting sentencing, but has been postpone to prevent an influence of the June election.
The DA and Federal Bureau of Investigation discovered an underground e-mail network being operated by Walker staffers in an office adjacent to Walker’s Milwaukee County Executive office. Walker denied that he had any knowledge of the underground e-mail operation to elect him governor.

2. Too bad he can't be charged now.

I hope this news spreads far and wide. That maggot of a man needs to be thrown out on his well-padded ass.

7. Um, yeah, I'm going to tap my pencil on this one

Wasn't "Fitzmas" supposed to result in the indictment of the entire White House senior staff in 2005?

So you'll understand if I am taking a wait and see approach.

8. i`d say that source is a bit shaky.....

there`s more than enough rumors about this so it`s best to vote the guy out. after that he can be free to go to court on his own dime

9. I spoke to

a source in the media and he told me earlier that they can't confirm this yet. Right now this is just speculation.

10. Hoax?

I am reading on another link, that this Blog post is a Hoax, merely to try and keep voters from going out to vote
thinking he was going to be arrested anyways. I cannot find proof, but do not let this stop you from
voting or continuing to donate to beating Walker.
