Great news that the Milwaukee prosecutors seem to have snared Walker, BUT [View all]

the state Dems would be well-advised to just keep their mouths shut about the issue and let the investigations roll along.

The prosecutors obviously know what they're doing, and are moving strategically with great deliberation and care.

The Democrats can best serve the process by staying out of it. To do otherwise risks giving the whole thing the appearance of a political witch-hunt.

When Walker gets indicted, we want it to be clear that he was brought down as a consequence of his criminal misdeeds, not because a bunch of pissed-off soreheads are taking revenge after a failed recall campaign.
