In the aftermath of the Republican- special- interest- corrupted Wisconsin Supreme Court quashing the investigation of Koch brothers puppet Gov. Scott "Koch Head" Walker (R-Kochland) for misconduct when he was Milwaukee County Executive, documents have now been released that prove Walker was the "John Doe" named in the investigation:
Gov. Scott Walker was under criminal investigation as part of a John Doe investigation into his aides and associates during his time as Milwaukee County Executive, according to a court filing made Wednesday.
Walker has consistently maintained he was not a target of the probe.
"Absolutely not," he told reporters in June 2012. "One hundred percent wrong. Could not be more wrong. It’s just more of the liberal scare tactics out there, desperately trying to get the (gubernatorial) campaign off target."
Three months before that, in March 2012, Walker set up a legal defense fund. At the time, he said the fund would be used to pay his criminal defense lawyers "to review documents and assist me in cooperating" with the investigation.
Walker was never charged in the investigation that led to convictions of six of his aides and associates.
In a court filing made in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin by Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm and two deputies, a 2011 request for search warrants indicates that investigators believed there was probable cause Walker and two associates committed felony misconduct in office while Walker's administration negotiated a lease to house the county's Department on Aging.
An affidavit filed by Robert Stelter, an investigator in the Milwaukee County district attorney's office, states: "I believe that there is probable cause to believe that Scott Walker, John Hiller, and Andrew Jensen, in concert together, committed a felony, i.e., Misconduct in Public Office." (our emphasis)But, when you have ultra-right sugar daddies dumping millions into your elite defense fund, and you've stocked your State Supreme Court with similarly bought "judges," you have a real good chance of walking. And Walker walked. Surprise!
