During that conversation, Ian Murphy of the Beast, who was posing as Koch, told Gov. Walker he was thinking about possibly planting some troublemakers into the crowd of thousands protesting Act 10 at the State Capitol.
"You know, the, well, the only problem with that because we thought about that," replied Gov. Walker. He went on to say, "My only fear would be is if there was a ruckus caused is that that would scare the public into thinking maybe the Governor has gotta settle to avoid all these problems."
...
The Journal-Sentinel obtained an advance copy of the book and reports that Walker writes "we never never considered putting 'troublemakers' in the crowd to discredit the protesters."

Let's see, which Scott Walker is to be believed: The one who thought he was having a private conversation with his master, er, financial backer, or the one writing a book for public consumption?

to "focus-group" his excuses....
to make up another really, really good lie to cover up the first one he told...
to brief Charlie Sykes, Rush Limbaugh, Ted Cruz, and Glenn Beck on the story-line...so they can all repeat it over and over
(note: Ted Cruz is added because I saw that Walker and Cruz were in Virginia campaigning for "The Cuch"
