According to the Wall Street Journal:

We've learned that Steven Biskupic, who represents Friends of Scott Walker, has been negotiating with Wisconsin special prosecutor Francis Schmitz to settle the state's investigation. The understandable concern among the direct targets of the John Doe is that Mr. Biskupic will cut a deal that would exonerate Mr. Walker while wresting concessions from some of Mr. Walker's allies.

The prosecutors need to not take any deal that lets Walker skate or more importantly hide the JD #2 documents. His whole election is illegitimate so he should be prosecuted.

1. I'll cut him a deal. He goes to jail.

And pays back every dollar of what he cut from state workers.

2. 2nd that motion...no text..

[hue]

6. "like"

3. Why do these republicans always get away with murder

If he was a democrat he would be toast.In fact he would have resigned by now

5. NO FR*KN DEALS!! Real time prison for Wanker & his crooked lawyer Biskupic!!!

[Timez Squarez]

7. No deal. It's prison time, and it's going to be for life.

And Walker, if you don't want the life part, better start singing.

8. Could he turn state's evidence in a RICO case against Dave and Charlie Koch?

That's a plea deal I could support.

[postulater]

11. That could really shake things up.

Is it too much to hope for?

[Ikonoklast]

12. His life would be measured in minutes if he did rat them out.

Billionaires leave plenty of dead people in their wake.

[postulater]

13. I think he may be the worst thing to happen to Wisconsin since Dahmer.

Maybe he'll end up in the same prison that Dahmer went to.

[Jack Rabbit]

15. I think the Koch brothers are the worst thing to happen to Wisconsin, period.

But I don't live there, so I'll defer to your judgment.

The Koch brothers, however, may be the worst thing to happen to America since Pearl Harbor.

[postulater]

16. Though I thought it couldn't get worse than Bush/Cheney, I agree with you about the Kochs.

[Thor_MN]

18. Dahmer had a limited number of victims....

[cosmicone]

9. Friggin weasel

Why is no one bringing federal charges against him -- violations of elections are federal offenses non?

[Dopers_Greed]

10. Don't let this weasel get away

Get him prison time. The only concession should be that he gets conjugal visits with the Koch brothers.

14. Here's the Milwaukee JournalSentinel article from today.

17. "Exonerate"?

EXONERATE?!

Jesus fucking christ if Walker had a (D-WI) after his name, Republicans would be baying for his blood.

Unless it ends with him resigning, it's a shitty deal and the prosecution will have fallen for the biggest scam in history.

19. If he goes free

then I have lost all hope for the justice system in this country.

I am at a loss for words. A governor rides free? OMG

[Spitfire of ATJ]

21. Seriously, if found guilty on all counts he will be the Republican frontrunner in '16.

[freshwest]

22. That makes sense...

[Spitfire of ATJ]

20. Let me guess, it's one of those "Not Guilty By Reason Of Being Republican" things.

[dembotoz]

23. state supreme court in his pocket, attorney general in his pocket, both houses in his pocket

folks in wisconsin would make him pope if they could

the new potential republican nominee has already shown himself to turn a blind eye to republican shenanigans

walker might be worried but i don't think he is really worried
he will get some underling to take a fall or two
state media will blame the dems and the once proud state of wisconsin will continue to decline into 3rd world status
