My teabagger in-laws just called to tell my wife and me that Walker had been proven innocent

Oh let's see... I work for the UW System, we have kids in public school, we like clean water, ...

that the state court didn't say he was innocent, just likely too greasy and slick to get convicted, and put a stop to wasting state resources on trying.

And probably reading comprehension. The willingly, excitedly bamboozled WI conservative voter. What a treat to be around.

You know the type. Televisions going in the kitchen, living room, and basement and all three tuned to Fox News. "I Stand with Scott Walker" bumper stickers on both vehicles.

I wish I were kidding.

that he has NOT been proven 'innocent.' This was about his CAMPAIGN.

Wisconsin Court Ends Investigation Into Scott Walker’s Recall Election Bid.
State Supreme Court rules that his campaign didn’t violate campaign-finance laws in run-up to 2012 recall vote.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Mr. Walker’s campaign and a coalition of conservative groups supporting him didn’t violate campaign-finance laws in the run-up to the 2012 recall vote, a race that thrust the Wisconsin governor into the national spotlight.

The court, in a split decision, ordered the prosecutors investigating Mr. Walker and his advisers to “cease all activities related to the investigation, return all property seized in the investigation from any individual or organization and permanently destroy all copies of information and other materials obtained through the investigation.”

In fact, given the secrecy of the proceedings, I'd say this only amplifies the stink on Governor Howdy Doody. However, Gabelman was at pains to say that there had been no wrongdoing by any involved parties... to which I of course call bullshit!
