Madison — With a terse but carefully worded statement, Gov. Scott Walker sought Thursday to deflect questions about whether his campaign is in settlement talks with prosecutors in a secret John Doe probe.

The campaign for the GOP governor was responding to a letter sent Wednesday on behalf of a conservative group that questioned whether a special prosecutor in the probe is negotiating with Walker's campaign to seek concessions that the outside group might oppose.

The Wisconsin Club for Growth and its treasurer, Eric O'Keefe, filed a federal lawsuit in February against special prosecutor Francis Schmitz and others contending their free speech rights were violated by the secret investigation into possible illegal coordination by groups involved in the 2012 recall campaigns. This month, U.S. District Judge Rudolph Randa in Milwaukee halted the probe as he considers the group's claims.

The statement by Friends of Scott Walker was attributed simply to the campaign and not to any individual and appeared to deal only with the federal lawsuit, not the state investigation in which both the Club for Growth and Walker's campaign are targets.

1. Scott Walker is one of the worst human beings alive on this planet...

And legal issues like this will make him MORE POPULAR with those who would vote for such filth in the first place...

One can only hope there is 1 or 2% of the people in WI who will not vote for him now, but who knows.

Divide and Conquer conversation he had with the billionaire woman, who was afraid that working people might get paid decent wages and that it might ultimately cost her a few dollars, I change my mind, she is the worst human alive today.

i dont now how to embed this


That woman is a billionaire, and she is worried sick that working people will get paid decent wages and have bargaining power

2. Oh yeah, she lives in my county, in my city.

I wondered what that slimy reside on Riverside was.
Societies should view Billionaires as tapeworms, because that is what they are. Parasites on the body politic.

3. They need to indict Walker, and throw him in prison for the rest of his life along with the Kochs..

And no parole allowed for these criminals. Let them rot in prison.
