As the June recall of Fartfuhrer Scott Walker of the Totalitarian Corporate Plutocracy of Fitzwalkerstan, formerly Wisconsin, edges closer, so does the criminal investigation into the Fartfuhrer.  Which will happen first is anybody\u2019s guess.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"19fartfuhrer\"The Wisconsin recall election that could possibly oust Gov. Scott Walker<\/a> (R) has more baggage looming over it.<\/p>\n

This week The Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel’s Daniel Bice takes a look at Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm’s "John Doe" investigation<\/a> into Walker’s time as a Milwaukee county executive.<\/p>\n

The investigation<\/a>, which began in 2010, has already led to charges<\/a> against former Walker aides, an appointee and a major campaign contributor. Walker has set up a legal defense fund<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bice notes<\/a> that if Chisholm files more charges, the timing will be viewed through a partisan lens. The recall election is scheduled for June 5. If Chisholm files charges before then, Republicans will likely charge that the Democratic district attorney is attempting to undermine Walker’s election chances. On the other hand, if Chisholm waits to file additional charges until after the election, he may face criticism from Democrats, particularly if Walker wins\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I don\u2019t see how Walker can escape the investigation, because he did what Republicans always do, spend taxpayer dollars to establish a permanent, exclusively Republican, regime.  As a Democrat, I prefer the charges to come before the election.  I also thing that it\u2019s best for Wisconsin for voters to know whether or not Walker will face charges first, lest Walker retain power, God forbid, and then be charged.  But to be fair<\/font>, John Chisom should bring or not bring charges, based on the case against Walker alone, as if there were no election going on.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
