Walkergate: The Legal Cooperation Fund



Ever since Scott Walker announced that he has retained two high profile attorneys to help his cooperation with the ongoing Walkergate investigation, one of the most repeated questions is who's paying for them?

There was little doubt that a good chunk of the more than $12 million would be going to these two, but he couldn't pay them from the campaign.

In what is becoming an almost weekly tradition for Walker, he pulled another late Friday afternoon news bomb to state that he was creating a legal cooperation fund. But wouldn't you know, that darn liberal media goes and keeps calling it a legal defense fund. As if Walker did anything wrong, right?

As one of my friends quipped, "$2,000 an hour buys some premium cooperation."



"Legal Cooperation Fund" is kinda like "Blue Sky Act" and "Republican ethics".


Nice bracelets Scooter!!!
