David Shuster reporting that Walker IS now a target of investigation in John Doe case [View all]

His anonymous sources are reconfirming this morning.

According to government lawyers familiar with a Milwaukee criminal corruption probe, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is now a "target" of the investigation.

The legal sources, who are not involved in Wisconsin's recall, spoke on condition of anonymity. They said Walker faces "serious legal challenges," including "a possible indictment," regardless of the election results on Tuesday.

The sources indicate Walker's status was clarified more than a week ago, allegedly following a series of requests by Walker's legal team that prosecutors publicly clear him of any wrong doing before the recall election. Take Action News reached out to Governor Walker's spokesperson for comment on this story and received no response.

And of course there is the usual non denial denial:

On Twitter, Wisconsin Democratic Party Communications Director Graeme Zielinski replied to Walker's latest denial, writing, "If @GovWalker had a letter or evidence clearing him in corruption probe, don't you know he would rent a firetruck? He's lying."

And, what he never states is that he did not take part in activities that are under investigation. He just blames the democrats for bringing it up.

Where is Scotty's letter clearing him? Hmmmm? Even KKKarl Rove had a letter.
