FBI investigation of Scott Walker's aides broadens

[rdean]

With new arrests every week, the FBI probe of Scott Walker's closest aides and supporters is continually uncovering stories that would be front-page news in any other political era.

How strained are things around the governor's mansion, where Walker's own spokesman, Cullen Werwie, now has immunity in the FBI probe? No wonder the governor says he wants to hurry up the recall election.

So serious are the charges against some of the people closest to Walker, corruption is rapidly becoming a major issue for the coming recall campaign, eclipsing union-busting, budget-cutting, and the fact that, despite massive corporate tax breaks for "job creators," our state continues to hemorrhage jobs.

But stealing money from the widows and orphans of Wisconsin's fallen soldiers? That is truly a new low.

No it's not. I understand that Sean Hannity is not an elected public official, but concerts were put together that were supposed to help soldiers families. But he benefited more than any of those the concerts were supposed to help. That was nationwide, not just state wide.

Interesting how A Democrat administration is investigating political opponents with the government.

I don't think it's a partisan hit. Just partisan spin.

The story I heard was that Walker's office kicked the investigations off when he was still back in Milwaukee. They saw wrongdoing and reported it.





Edit: oh, chris' link says that is in dispute now. I'll have to read more about this.
