Sorry folks my head has not been in the game lately. So I will leave this for you to discuss as I work my way out of my fog.
As I see it ,you make some allegations by some “John Doe’s ” and hope something sticks.
Here’s a thought you freakin retard lib’s. Try being like Scott Walker. He’s doing something Right.

By Patrick Marley and Daniel Bice of the Journal Sentinel Updated: 1:34 p.mMadison — Prosecutors allege that Gov. Scott Walker was at the center of an effort to illegally coordinate fundraising among conservative groups to help his campaign and those of Republican senators fend off recall elections during 2011 and ’12, according to documents unsealed Thursday.
In the documents, prosecutors lay out what they call a “criminal scheme” to bypass state election laws by Walker, his campaign and two top deputies — R.J. Johnson and Deborah Jordahl.
The governor and his close confidants helped raise money and control spending through 12 conservative groups during the recall elections, according to the prosecutors’ filings.
The documents include an email in which Walker tells Karl Rove, former top adviser to President George W. Bush, that Johnson would lead the coordination campaign. Johnson is also chief adviser to Wisconsin Club for Growth, a conservative group active in the recall elections.
“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.
A federal judge unsealed the court documents Thursday as part of a lawsuit attempting to halt the secret investigation into the so-called John Doe probe into the recall elections.

The lawsuit was brought by Wisconsin Club for Growth and one of its directors, Eric O’Keefe. They allege the probe has violated their First Amendment rights to free expression and persuaded U.S. District Judge Rudolph Randa to halt the investigation, at least for the time being.The documents came out by order of a judge on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago, which is reviewing the lawsuit.
Based on the prosecutors’ arguments, the initial presiding judge in the case, former Kenosha County Circuit Judge Barbara Kluka, authorized sweeping subpoenas for a number of individuals, including Eric O’Keefe, a director for Wisconsin Club for Growth.
O’Keefe was ordered to turn over scores of documents related to the recall election and other matters dating back to 2009, documents released Thursday show.
But Reserve Judge Gregory Peterson, who replaced Kluka on the case, quash the subpoenas in January and ordered the return of any property seized because he found that there was no probable cause shown that they committed any violations of the campaign finance laws.
“I am persuaded the statutes only prohibit coordination by candidates and independent organizations for a political purpose, and political purpose, with one minor exception not relevant here…requires express advocacy,” Peterson wrote in an order included in the recently released batch of documents. “There is no evidence of express advocacy.”
In addition to working for Walker’s campaign, Johnson is a key adviser to the Wisconsin Club for Growth.
