With Recall Looming Top Scott Walker Operative Faces Criminal Charges

[Galraedia]

The year long John Doe investigation into GOP Wisconsin governor Scott Walker’s aides comes closer to the big fish with the latest charges and the DA says more charges are a comin’. As all of this looms around the embattled governor, he also faces an imminent recall. With two weeks left to go, the recall campaign against Walker has reached the minimum amount of signatures needed to recall him.

Tick tock, tick tock.

Facing criminal charges of embezzlement from a veterans charity and theft from two conservative campaigns, Tim Russell wasn’t just the person Walker appointed to be in charge of the money for a veteran’s charity, but it turns out he was one of “Walker’s top lieutenants as he moved in and out of campaign jobs, posts in Walker’s county office, other county jobs and his own real estate business.” He is described as part of Walker’s close inner circle and one of his most trusted confidants.

Russell was charged with criminal embezzlement charges for stealing money from a charity for veterans families that Walker put him in charge of, in addition to charges that he stole money from two conservative campaigns.

1. I hope Walker's recall will start the ball rolling. It would be nice if recalls of

the governors of MN, IN, FL...etc...will follow suit.

4. You're right. It was my mistake. At the moment of writing, I had Kasich in mind.

2. Corrupt, evil bastards....They want to shrink Govt services for the people,

so they can steal the tax money for themselves and their friends under the guise of free market and privatization.

Its a wonder any Republican is elected at all.. I suppose, though, that "liberal bias media" is doing its job of not reporting and investigating these stories.. and when they do know a scandal may be hitting the fan, they work overtime to warn and get their ducks in a line.. like Santorum did for his friend Ensign...
