Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) released a new “column” denying new claims from state prosecutors that Walker closely involved in “criminal scheme” to coordinate fundraising with conservative groups during the 2011 and 2012 recall elections in Wisconsin.
In the court documents unsealed on Thursday, prosecutors also said that Walker “tacitly” admitted to breaking Wisconsin law.
Walker, in his new column, argued that the new claims were wrong, saying that “two judges, one state and one federal, reviewed the accusations of partisans within a Democrat District Attorney’s Office and determined their theories have no merit or basis in law.”
“Still, many in the media proceed as though the opinion of the partisan prosecutors is new information and ignore the truths I have stated above,” Walker wrote. “It is not. It is old news that has already been discounted by two judges. No charges. No case.”
Walker added later in the column that the “media frenzy” about the investigations was really in response to attempts to take on “big government special interests.”
“Watching the media frenzy it is clear that this is what happens when someone takes on the big government special interests. They push back. No wonder so many politicians are afraid to make tough decisions,” Walker continued. “I will not back down. We will continue to fight using the truth to keep the hard working taxpayers of Wisconsin in charge of their state and local governments. We will continue to fight to make life better for the good people of Wisconsin.”
Does anyone expect him to confess? Of course he’s innocent. SURE.
This is all old news. It was thrown out of court TWICE back in December. Now it is being put out there by the “press” and they are hoping that even though it was thrown out of court twice, that people will believe just the “accusation” even though it is not true! The dems will drop to any level to disgrace any potential candidate for the Presidency. This is just the beginning of their dirty tricks.
Walleye Walker for Prez 2016?
It was put out there under order of a Federal judge. And the instigator was Walker’s allies suing in the first place to try and keep their dirty dealings with Walker from being exposed.
Doesn’t take long for you little drones to start repeating his spin, does it?
Rush devoted a good chunk of his comedy show to defending Walker with the same talking points. However, . . .
“The documents include an excerpt from an email in which Walker tells Karl Rove, former top adviser to President
George W. Bush, that Johnson would lead the coordination campaign. Johnson also is Walker’s longtime campaign
strategist and the chief adviser to Wisconsin Club for Growth, a prominent conservative group.
“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.
Rove runs American Crossroads, which backs Republican congressional and presidential candidates.”
this one is hitting home big time. . .
