Back in the Totalitarian Corporate Plutocracy of Fitzwalkerstan, formerly Wisconsin, things look pretty bleak for Fartfuhrer Walker, as he is at bay, desperately seeking escape from both the law and the people.  It appears so unlikely that the Fartfuhrer can hang on, that the heroes of Wisconsin have a great opportunity to restore their state from the clutches of Republican tyranny.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"9Walker\"Darlene Wink pleaded guilty Tuesday to two misdemeanor charges of fundraising in the courthouse for then-Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker’s campaign for governor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Her convictions were the first stemming from a secret John Doe investigation into a variety of issues from Walker’s tenure as county executive. Three other former Walker courthouse aides and appointees also have been charged<\/strong> through the Doe probe.<\/p>\n

Wink, 61, worked as Walker’s constituent services coordinator in the county executive’s office at the time, a job that paid about $41,000 a year. She was charged with working on fundraising events<\/a> for Walker’s gubernatorial campaign in 2009 and 2010 while in her taxpayer-funded county job.<\/p>\n

"What I was doing was putting together fliers that were for a fundraiser," Wink told Circuit Court Judge Daniel Konkol.<\/p>\n

As part of a plea deal, Wink agreed to provide information to prosecutors in the ongoing Doe probe, now in its 20th month. The deal calls for Wink to serve no jail time, though the judge isn’t bound by that recommendation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Her sentencing is set for May 15. Prosecutors wanted three months to question Wink, who would have preferred a swifter sentencing, said her lawyer, Peter Wolff.<\/p>\n

She faces a maximum of six months in jail and $1,000 fine on each of the two counts\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Walker was caught in yet another lie. Also, I don’t think he’d be getting criminal attorneys, if there were not evidence against him. Outside money is flowing into the state, alright, and Fartfuhrer Walker sucked two Kochs to get it. Even if he escapes justice, the voters are closing in.  In fact, Ed Schultz just updated that story in an interview with Democratic candidate for Governor, Kathleen Vinehout.<\/font><\/p>\n

While, it’s too early for me to declare support for any individual Democratic candidate, I\u2019m glad to see Kathleen and others step into the ring.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
