State Prosecutors Allege Scott Walker At Center Of 'Criminal Scheme'

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!

State Prosecutors Allege Scott Walker At Center Of 'Criminal Scheme'

Eric Lach – June 19, 2014, 1:56 PM EDT

State prosecutors in Wisconsin have alleged that Gov. Scott Walker (R) was part of an effort to illegally coordinate conservative groups' fundraising during the 2011 and 2012 recall elections in the state, according to The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

The revelation was contained in documents unsealed Thursday by a federal judge. In the documents, according to the Journal Sentinel, prosecutors described a "criminal scheme" to skirt state election laws by Walker and his campaign, as well as two of Walker's deputies: R.J. Johnson and Deborah Jordahl. Walker and his deputies allegedly helped raise money and control spending through 12 conservative groups during the recalls.

The Journal Sentinel highlighted one email exchange contained in the documents: a note from Walker to Republican political strategist and former George W. Bush adviser Karl Rove in which Walker described Johnson's role coordinating the activity.
