Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker transfers $100,000 from recall campaign to legal defense fund

(Barrett has been hitting Walker hard on the legal defense fund. I hope it works. We might as well vote him out now rather than put up with him possibly being indicted down the road--then he can devote all his time to his legal defense and raising money for it):

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker transferred $100,000 from his recall campaign to his legal defense fund in May, bringing the total he's sent to the defense fund to $160,000 in six weeks. Donors whose funds are going to the defense fund must give approval, but the notoriously secretive Walker campaign is obviously not releasing those names.

News of the $100,000 transfer comes just days after the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel's Daniel Bice reported on speculation about a series of emails being looked at in the John Doe investigation that is the reason for Walker to have a defense fund to begin with. The emails, between Walker and campaign adviser John Hiller, reportedly center around Milwaukee County's search for office space for its Department of Aging. Hiller was representing a firm which ultimately did not get the lease.


Sources have given varying descriptions of the emails, calling them everything from "legally inconclusive" to "a bombshell." One insider said the private messages contradict Walker's discussions with his county staff.

It's a helluva way to run a revolution.
