Prosecutors Target “John Doe” WI Gov. Scott Walker
Prosecutors allege that Gov. Scott Walker was at the center of an effort to illegally coordinate fundraising among conservative groups to help his campaign and those of Republican senators fend off recall elections during 2011 and ’12, according to documents unsealed Thursday.
In the documents, prosecutors lay out what they call a “criminal scheme” to bypass state election laws by Walker, his campaign and two top deputies — R.J. Johnson and Deborah Jordahl.
The governor and his close confidants helped raise money and control spending through 12 conservative groups during the recall elections, according to the prosecutors’ filings.
The documents include an email in which Walker tells Karl Rove, former top adviser to President George W. Bush, that Johnson would lead the coordination campaign. Johnson is also chief adviser to Wisconsin Club for Growth, a conservative group active in the recall elections.
“Bottom-line: R.J. helps keep in place a team that is wildly successful in Wisconsin. We are running 9 recall elections and it will be like 9 congressional markets in every market in the state (and Twin Cities),” Walker wrote to Rove on May 4, 2011.
A federal judge unsealed the court documents Thursday as part of a lawsuit attempting to halt the secret investigation into the so-called John Doe probe into the recall elections.
Maybe all that Koch brothers money can buy Walker a top-flight criminal defense attorney. it looks as if he needs it.

All paid the price except Eric Holder, who’s major ethics violations are fantasy.
But you mean like;
Feb 2011 – Congressional investigators allege Rep. Howard “Buck” McKeon received a preferential loan not available to ordinary borrowers.
Mar 2011 – Rep. Scott Tipton may have violated House Ethics rules three times as a freshman Member of Congress.
Apr 2011 – Reports indicate that the FBI may be investigating Rep. Gary Miller for tax evasion.
May 2011 – Rep. Frank Guinta “forgot” to disclose a “mystery” bank account worth as much as $500,000.
June 2011 – Rep. Charlie Bass may have improperly used his office to promote a tax rebate program that would have benefited a family member’s company.
July 2011 – Rep. Stephen Fincher violated campaign finance law.
Aug 2011 – The New York Times took Rep. Darrell Issa to task for using his public office for personal gain.
Sep 2011 – Rep. Joe Walsh may owe more than $100,000 in child support payments to his ex-wife and three children.
Oct 2011 – Rep. David Rivera is under simultaneous state and federal investigations for his involvement promoting slot machines and a contract awarded to a company controlled by his mother.
Nov 2011 – Karl Rove’s protégé, Rep. Tim Griffin, led an effort to suppress African American voter turnout and was intimately involved in the firings of nonpartisan U.S. attorneys for nefarious political reasons.
Dec 2011 – Rep. Pete Sessions may be under a House Ethics Committee investigation for receiving a preferential loan not available to ordinary borrowers.
Jan 2012 – House Republican fundraising chief, Rep. Vern Buchanan, is under multiple ethics investigations for what has been termed an “extensive and ongoing scheme” to reimburse his employees for contributing to Buchanan’s congressional campaign.
Feb 2012 – The FBI is potentially investigating Rep. Michael Grimm for extorting as much as $500,000 worth of campaign contributions from a rabbi and his followers.
Mar 2012 – Rep. Mary Bono Mack and her husband are being investigated for potentially cheating on their taxes.
Apr 2012 – A Florida Republican seeking to unseat Republican Congressman Cliff Stearns claimed that the FBI was investigating Stearns for allegedly attempting to bribe him out of the primary.May 2012 – Rep. David Rivera remains under IRS and FBI investigation for potential campaign finance violations and tax evasion. Recently, a state criminal investigation found that Rivera likely violated the law, but was spared prosecution because of legal ambiguities and excessively stringent statute of limitation requirements.
June 2012 – The New Republic recently revealed that the FBI is investigating Rep. Jim Renacci’s fundraising operations. The FBI investigation concerns $110,250 in questionable political donations the Ohio Republican received from employees of Suarez Corporation Industries and their spouses.
July 2012 – Rep. Vern Buchanan’s legal and ethics troubles grow as allegations and investigations into his potential misconduct intensify. The FBI, the IRS, the House Ethics Committee and a federal Grand Jury continue to investigate Rep. Buchanan for his alleged role in a scheme to funnel corporate money into his campaign coffers, tax avoidance, and witness tampering.
Aug 2012 – From benefitting from government-contracted laborers’ work on her political campaign to helping her political cronies get cushy jobs and government contracts, Brooks claims to know nothing. But New York voters should be asking Maggie Brooks how, as County Executive, she didn’t know about or couldn’t control her own administration.
Sep 2012 – Many might know Republican congressional candidate Danny Tarkanian for claiming his African American opponent was pretending to be black, or his strategy to appeal to the African American community by highlighting his ties to local basketball programs, but Tarkanian’s career has also been punctuated by fiscal irresponsibility and putting his political interests ahead of his obligations.

Collusion between different political groups is illegal and Scott Walker appears to be involved. The evidence seems to be pretty clear. It is time for the courts to take over, hopefully federal courts, where Walkers corrupt influence is minimized.

First of all, the characterization of the activity as criminal come from reports in the local media.
More importantly, the court documents filed with the Circuit Court in Wisconsin, specifically cite the suspected activity as criminal.
You right wing gangs are pissed that your bullsh*t fantasies are contradicted by the facts.

Actually it does. “The governor and his close confidants helped raise money and control spending through 12 conservative groups.” Campaign finance laws clearly state that you can’t control spending of groups that aren’t your campaign. Just because you are so ill informed and ignorant that don’t know that’s not legal doesn’t mean it’s not a crime.
Of course, the article presents no actual evidence that “The governor and his close confidants helped raise money and control spending through 12 conservative groups” outside of the one quoted email. But that is for a jury to decide, not someone who is so ill informed and ignorant that don’t know that’s not legal.
George Armstrong June 20th, 2014 at 02:31
And yet a state and federal judge have both ruled that no laws were broken. Hmmm?
Jesse June 20th, 2014 at 12:33
a) ACTUALLY no federal judge ever ruled that no laws were broken. ACTUALLY the federal judge ordered a stop to the investigation based on questionable methods. ACTUALLY that judges stay is being reviewed by the Circuit Court right now who were the ones who released the information and evidence.
How did such a “high information” person like you miss the salient details of basic federal court proceedings. Surely you aren’t such a knuckle-dragging toothless illiterate that get orders of stay and decisions of fact confused are you?
b) Once again I was pointing out that the original poster was incorrect about the ARTICLE when the illiterate said “No where [sic] does it discuss his ‘criminal’ actions.” When in fact, the article did make direct discussion of the alleged criminal actions. To quote the article for the THIRD time, “The governor and his close confidants helped raise money and control spending through 12 conservative groups.”
How did such a “high information” person like you miss the basic details of the article written in basic English and quoted TWICE more in a comment that you were responding to. Are you too lazy to read BASIC ENGLISH? Or, are you just such a knuckle-dragging toothless illiterate that you don’t understand BASIC ENGLISH?
firespirit3 June 28th, 2014 at 18:49
Nope u r 100% wrong Walker was never indictedor the target of the probe,
Randall Crocker, an attorney for the special prosecutor, that when the probe was halted, the Republican governor had neither
been served with a subpoena, nor was he among the targeted individuals.
The probe was stopped by a federal judge,
At the time the investigation was halted, Gov. Walker was not a target
of the investigation. At no time has he been served with a subpoena.”
He further added, “It is wrong for any person to point to this sentence
in a legal argument as a finding by the special prosecutor that Governor
Walker has engaged in a criminal scheme. lt is not such a finding.”
Crocker released his statement after the governor was named in a court
document written by Special Prosecutor Francis Schmitz that was made
public last week.

Sorry DOOFUS..the prosecuter anounced today WALKER was never the target of the investigation at all!! not to mention there were noilaws against coordination libtard!!!
Jesse June 27th, 2014 at 12:02
Sorry TOOTHLESS ILLITERATE HICK… I was discussing the words in the article. The original comment was that the article didn’t discuss “criminal” activity. I showed that it did say what he was being implicated in (not what he actually did, which is up to a jury to decide).
Also, TOOTHLESS ILLITERATE HICK… If you knew this 8 days ago why didn’t you comment then? Why did you wait until everyone else knew that?
Also, TOOTHLESS ILLITERATE HICK… what is “noilaws”? Oh, I’m sorry, you meant “no laws,” sorry I don’t speak TOOTHLESS ILLITERATE HICK.
Are you too stupid to read US laws? Or are you intentionally lying about US Code Title II Sections 431? It does clearly state that you cannot coordinate soft money with candidates. I can only assume that Governor Walker stayed within the word of the law here (if not the spirit) and therefore the “criminal” activity – WHICH IS CLEARLY SPELLED OUT IN THE ARTICLE – didn’t happen. Why would you lie about the campaign finance laws?
Here’s an idea:
a) read the comments before you call somebody else a DOOFUS;
b) LEARN ENGLISH before you call somebody else a DOOFUS; and,
c) Read the law before you run your TOOTHLESS ILLITERATE HICK mouth about what the law says.
Quick question – when you start running your slack toothless yap does the slack-jaw smack you in the nose or are you such a backwoods illiterate that it hits you in the eye too?

Are you blatantly lying or too stupid to read English, TOOTHLESS ILLITERATE HICK!!!
firespirit3 June 27th, 2014 at 00:53
Sorry DOOFUS..the prosecuter anounced today WALKER was never the target of the investigation at all!! not to mention there were noilaws against coordination libtard!!!
Jesse June 27th, 2014 at 12:02
Sorry TOOTHLESS ILLITERATE HICK… I was discussing the words in the article. The original comment was that the article didn’t discuss “criminal” activity. I showed that it did say what he was being implicated in (not what he actually did, which is up to a jury to decide).
Also, TOOTHLESS ILLITERATE HICK… If you knew this 8 days ago why didn’t you comment then? Why did you wait until everyone else knew that?
Also, TOOTHLESS ILLITERATE HICK… what is “noilaws”? Oh, I’m sorry, you meant “no laws,” sorry I don’t speak TOOTHLESS ILLITERATE HICK.
Are you too stupid to read US laws? Or are you intentionally lying about US Code Title II Sections 431? It does clearly state that you cannot coordinate soft money with candidates. I can only assume that Governor Walker stayed within the word of the law here (if not the spirit) and therefore the “criminal” activity – WHICH IS CLEARLY SPELLED OUT IN THE ARTICLE – didn’t happen. Why would you lie about the campaign finance laws?
Here’s an idea:
a) read the comments before you call somebody else a DOOFUS;
b) LEARN ENGLISH before you call somebody else a DOOFUS; and,
c) Read the law before you run your TOOTHLESS ILLITERATE HICK mouth about what the law says.
Quick question – when you start running your slack toothless yap does the slack-jaw smack you in the nose or are you such a backwoods illiterate that it hits you in the eye too?

Anyone surprised? Anyone?
George Armstrong June 20th, 2014 at 02:30
Nope. I fully expected it sooner from this liberal prosecuting attorney. I guess the ruling of the state and federal judges who stated, Walker is not guilty of a crime had to make him wait a bit longer. Pure smear campaign. Too bad hes turned around a completely broke and mismanaged economy to the chagrin of you who love bloated, inefficient and incompetent government.

If we are lucky, he will be deemed a liability – and they’ll simply throw him under the nearest bus and take their money and leave.
Walker deserves everything he gets – he has certainly spent the last few years screwing WI blue.

Randall Crocker, an attorney for the special prosecutor,
that when the probe was halted, the Republican governor had neither
been served with a subpoena, nor was he among the targeted individuals.
The probe was stopped by a federal judge, whose ruling is under appeal.
“At the time the investigation was halted, Gov. Walker was not a target
of the investigation. At no time has he been served with a subpoena.”

it is even more funny how kiss a$$ Obama-haters think their delusions are actually scandals, but when it comes to Republican scandals, the accused actually need a lawyer and have to go to court.
typical right wing hypocrite mentality where their psychosis takes priority over the real world.

Well, Walker wont get ANY money from the 58 UNIONS who EACH on their own, have given more money to Democrats, then the Kochs have given to Repubs
Bill Bojanowski June 19th, 2014 at 20:57
The Kochs give their money to Pacs which support Republicans and ultra conservatives. The unions can’t come close to matching that money plus all the money from corporations and other very rich conservatives.
firespirit3 June 20th, 2014 at 02:22

Bill Bojanowski June 20th, 2014 at 10:08
The Koch Brothers Industries were 59th in donations to the republican party and republican candidates. What was left out is what they contribute privately, and what they contribute through Pacs where donors and amounts they contribute are not disclosed. The statistics you referred to were over a 25 year period. Unions are much smaller and weaker now than 25 years ago, and contribute less money than they used to. My statement stands as true. You might be taken more seriously if you stop regurgitating right wing propaganda and learn how to spell. What are you, 12 years old?
George Armstrong June 20th, 2014 at 02:26
Please…corporations give just as much to libtards as they do rhinos. I also love the “ultra conservative” remark. As if wanting everyone to work and be off the tax payer’s back somehow makes someone “ultra” anything. And by the way, how much did George Soros and his family donate to obama’s campaign? get a life.

coming from a liberal post, I can understand why he’s being targeted, true or NOT, and it is not truth, no demo has ever stuck to the truth in gaining what they want and that is power! corruption is their name, corruptors…….and I would be willing to bet that everyone on the investigative team have construed this up to make Walker look guilty. It’s just what they do! demonize people, successful people., ha, they don’t even have to be in politics! they better look to their own leader, the prez, who should be impeached for not embracing the constitution and DEFENDING IT…….instead they look the other way…..Walker is innocent. you fools! do you wear clothes? I bet you think you do, but you are naked, naked to the truth!!!! This is the epitome of injustice!!! liberal dam judges! all of them. they also skirt the constitution, by declaring what the people vote as not constitutional. they are mixing morals(religion) with politics and to hell with the judicial system. this is a failure of our American government. shreded, stomped on, and thrown away. how will we ever recover it? if we are allowing the courts to go along with special investigative configured untruths? even our votes, which is corrupted thru the electronic voting machine is fixed, by liberals……not republicans……..but LIBERALS!!!!!
