It’s not the denial by Scott Walker that’s unsettling, but
his suggestion that only Republican DA’s can be trusted with the law and “nonpartisan”
investigations. These subtle comments provide the emotional gun powder for agitating
the base. Maybe the media should ask Walker why he thinks Democratic DA candidates
shouldn’t run for office.
In his desperate attempt to contain the damage, he let it
slip in this editorial:
What does that say about Walker’s respect for elections and those who see things differently...like Democrats?“The truth on the widely covered John Doe is that two judges, one state and one federal, reviewed the accusations of partisans within a Democratic District Attorney’s Office and determined their theories have no merit or basis in law.”
The enemy among us: Walker’s “above the law” arrogance toward "petty liberal partisans" opposed to his one party ideal of government and “truth”
is unnerving:
Each of these judges explicitly issued judicial orders that these partisan prosecutors must end their investigation immediately. These are the truths that need to be stated over and over again to fight the slander directed at me and our campaign by my political opponents.
Walker the Victim: Remember, this is about pay-to-play, campaign funding that pushes the limits and attempts to get around the law, whether legal or illegal. This isn’t about his
failed agenda, it’s about elections controlled by big government corporate special interests.
Bottom line; why wouldn't conservative prosecutors be considered just as partisan?
Still, many in the media proceed as though the opinion of the partisan prosecutors … ignore the truths I have stated above. No charges. No case. Watching the media frenzy, it is clear that this is what happens when someone takes on the big government special interests. I will not back down. We will continue to fight using the truth...
He's slipping. He forgot to call him a 'Democrat' district attorney.
ReplyDeleteBetween this and his silence on gay marriage I'm wondering if he's lost his whistle.
Scott Walker's only choice left is to spin, lie and run.
ReplyDeleteWalker does not even acknowledge that the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit is deliberating Judge Randa's ruling (after ruling that Randa may not order evidence be destroyed as ordered previously by Randa. Walker has assured us Randa is "independent."
The probe in on hold pending the appeals, and the investigation is not completed so of course the man at the center of a "criminal scheme" has not been charged yet.
As for the John Doe supervising Judge Gregory Peterson, Peterson has acknowledged in his 2013 ruling that a state appellate court is the lawful authority to hear his ruling (with a possible hearing by the Wisconsin Supreme Court to follow).
Walker in his lies and evasions has proven himself to be everything that is alleged by the documents released so far, a thoroughly deceitful cheat.
This article explains a bit of what's going on with the appeals. Worth reading. http://expressmilwaukee.com/blog-10393-john-doe-documents-shed-light-on-scott-walkers-campaign-scheme.html
