A failure to communicate in Milwaukee

What we have in Milwaukee is a failure to communicate.

Apparently, Michael McGee, a Milwaukee alderman, was arrested this week after the FBI recorded him chatting with some acquaintances about an alleged plan to murder someone. McGee's lawyer said this is a big misunderstanding due to federal officials lacking street cred -- McGee's plan to have someone "bust up and beat down" isn't as bad as it sounded.

Will Thomas fleshes out the disturbing details in today's edition of "All Muck is Local."
