Walker must come clean on Walkergate now!

http://cognidissidence.blogspot.com/2012/05/walker-must-come-clean-on-walkergate.html


Walker has often claimed that he is not the target of the Walkergate investigations. The most recent example comes from Friday night's debate, where he claims to be cooperating again and claims to not be the target (starting about the 1:45 mark):



However, per Jambois, the only way for a person to know that they are not the target of a John Doe investigation is to be given immunity. And when one is given immunity in a John Doe, it is easily verifiable, regardless of the type of immunity which was granted.

If Walker was given formal immunity, there would be a court record of it which would be public knowledge. If Walker was granted informal immunity, he would have a letter from the District Attorney's office which he could legally produce to verify this claim. However, there is no court record showing Walker was granted immunity. Likewise, he has never produced a letter to verify his claim.

Thereby, we can conclude with confidence that Walker has not been granted immunity and thus cannot, in any conceivable way, know that he is not a target of the Walkergate investigation.
