Scott Walker Establishes A Separate Legal Defense Fund

[RandySF]

Gov. Scott Walker (R-WI), who is facing a recall election likely to occur in June, released this statement Friday through his campaign committee, on the ongoing investigation of former aides during his time as Milwaukee County Executive:

“For nearly two years, Milwaukee County officials have been examining issues related to former employees of the County. I have repeatedly pledged my cooperation with that inquiry. I also made it clear that no public money has been used, or will be used, to pay for the attorneys needed to review documents and assist me in cooperating. To fulfill my commitment, I have today formed a legal fund to pay for the expenses incurred in cooperating with the inquiry. The fund will operate in accordance with the Wisconsin law authorizing these accounts, which was passed almost thirty years ago.”

1. Sounds like he thinks he is going to need an attorney. If the excuse given were the reason, one

would think he would have hired him a long time ago.

2. "today formed a legal fund to pay for the expenses incurred in cooperating with the inquiry"

And after I rob a bank I will set up a fund to pay for my legal expenses in the
wonderful American jury trail system.
