2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumAnother 2016 Hopeful Bites the Dust as Scott Walker Appears to be Under Investigation
http://www.politicususa.com/2014/02/08/scott-walkers-recall-campaign-appears-john-doe-probe.htmlFollow the arrows to land at the fake IRS scandal perpetrated by the Republican Party in an effort to pre-emptively protect their dark money, courtesy of tax exempt social welfare nonprofits.
Fresh on the heels of the last John Doe investigation into Gov. Scott Walkers administration, which resulted in convictions for three former Walker aides an appointee and a major campaign donor, comes the revelation of yet another probe surrounding the Wisconsin Republican Governor. This one centers around an anonymous campaign that is most likely Walkers recall campaign Friends of Scott Walker.
According to newly-unsealed court documents, it appears that Scott Walkers recall campaign is the focus of the illegal campaign coordination between (name redacted), a campaign committee, and certain special interest groups.
Daniel Bice at the Journal Sentinel revealed why its looking like its Walkers recall campaign under investigation:
From the outset, the probe focused on possible illegal campaign coordination between (name redacted), a campaign committee, and certain special interest groups, according to a filing signed by the five district attorneys in the case.
The campaign committee under the microscope?
Almost certainly its the Friends of Scott Walker, the governors campaign committee.
Good guess, said one source familiar with the probe. Thats it.
Several others, however, were reluctant to identify the governors campaign, noting the secrecy order remains in place. A John Doe probe is similar to a grand jury in that it allows prosecutors to collect evidence and gather testimony in secret.

The cost alone to investigate the several Walker scams and now we have the NJ Gov scams.America can not afford this RW crap game.
They and their political charities should all be in jail and every penny taken away from them to cover our Federal funds spent.
