Walkergate: Still Waters Run Deep

http://cognidissidence.blogspot.com/2012/08/walkergate-still-waters-run-deep.html

I have heard and seen a lot of comments indicating a general unrest regarding Walkergate, the John Doe investigation into Scott Walker, his campaign staff and his other campaign staff otherwise known as his administration as Milwaukee County Executive and now as governor.

The vast majority of the comments are dealing with despair and frustration that the investigation isn't going faster, that Walker hasn't been arrested, indicted, tarred and feathered and locked up in the hoosegow for the rest of his life already.

I can appreciate their frustration. But I would also counsel them to be patient. Remember that it took four years for them to nail Blago for what he did, and his crimes weren't as vast or as complex as those of Walker and his crew.

Furthermore, it is far better that the prosecutors present the strongest case they can rather than try to rush things and get it fouled up, letting the bad guys get off without even as much as a slap on the wrist.

I would also remind my frustrated and impatient friends that still waters run deep. While there might not seem to be a lot going on, at least at the surface, there is a lot of things happening where we can't see them as readily.
