The proceedings are much like a Grand Jury, except that there's no jury. As a result, any specifics with regard to the investigation are hard to obtain. Dan Bice, the political columnist for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, has a lot of contacts and does a pretty good job of keeping us informed.

anyone know who the individuals being targeted are, nor who the individuals cooperating are. The Kochs will fund a long term European vacation for anyone that might go to jail. I hope like heck one of the John Doe's is Walker himself. There was speculation that Walker would be going to jail when some of his aides did, but he escaped. Maybe they didn't have enough evidence, until now...

Walker is making a deal for immunity, giving evidence against others "higher up" as his leverage. I can only dream, but would it not be wonderful if those "higher up" were billionaires trying to buy our government?

It seems to be awfully quite seeing how this is a big story.
