Walker Spotted Going Into Federal Building this AM: Was He Being Grilled by Feds?

I had just arrived downtown and was exiting the parking garage at the street level of the 411 Building in Milwaukee when I observed what appeared to be our frazzled governor emerge from the parking garage stairwell. I must be seeing things, because why would our embattled Governor be in Milwaukee today?
As I got closer – maybe 40 feet away - I realized that my suspicions were indeed accurate. As Gov. Walker stepped off the curb and jaywalked across Jefferson Street his bald spot glared back at me as if to say “you can’t see me, you can’t hear me, and none of this ever happened.” He slipped into a side entrance of the Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse (in Milwaukee County) in an obvious hurry. I am sure he was hoping no one would identify him.
Now, if this is true, there are many reasons Walker could have been going into that building that don't involve the John Doe investigation. However, my speculation was that is exactly why he was there.
Why the U.S. Courthouse and not the Milwaukee County DA's office? Keep in my that there are two main attorneys on this case: Bruce Landgraf and David Robles. Robles is the Milwaukee areas "RICO guy" and handles such cases for both the U.S. Attorney's Office and the Milwaukee County DA's office-- he's actually officially part of both offices.http://uppitywis.org/blogarticle/walker-spotted-going-federal-building-am-was-he-being-grilled-fe

... let's hope this is it. Certainly Romney and Santorum stayed far away from Scooter this past week. Maybe they got a heads up.

They like to keep this stuff as quiet as possible.

If this is a RICO charge, he's going to need a specialists rather than his regular lawyer.

One picture of the snake sneaking into the federal building would have gone well with the article.
