I am amazed that Walker would bring up John Doe. Just am.


I think the first time Walker went to IOWA (if memory if correct) he loudly complained of how he and his wife were put in danger because of the protesters. Damn--every time he goes someplace he makes himself out to be the victim. What a prick!






Scott Walker, prosecutors trade pointed swipes on John Doe


By Patrick Marley of the Journal Sentinel

.....In a separate statement, Schmitz said he was surprised Walker would "speak publicly about specific issues which are now before the Wisconsin Supreme Court for a decision."

"His description of the investigation as a 'political witch hunt' is offensive when he knows that the investigation was authorized by a bipartisan group of judges and is directed by a Republican special prosecutor appointed at the request of a bipartisan group of district attorneys," Schmitz's statement said.

He called Walker's comments inaccurate but didn't detail why.

"I invite the governor to join me in seeking judicial approval to lawfully release information now under seal which would be responsive to the allegations that have been made," his statement said. "Such information, when lawfully released, will show that these recent allegations are patently false."

Chisholm said he agreed with Schmitz's statement.

"Stripped of niceties, Mr. Schmitz is saying the governor is deliberately not telling the truth," Chisholm's statement said.

"The truth is always a defense, so let's get the truth out in a legal manner, not through lies, distortions and misrepresentations."...........




Sidebar of MJS article:

PIC of Walker should be here but am having trouble with the transfer:
“I said even if you’re a liberal Democrat, you should look at (the raids) and be frightened to think that if the government can do that against people of one political persuasion, they can do it against anybody, and more often than not we need protection against the government itself.” - Gov. Scott Walker, during interview with Des Moines radio station WHO-AM

“As to defamatory remarks, I strongly suspect the Iowa criminal code, like Wisconsin’s, has provisions for intentionally making false statements intended to harm the reputation of others.” - John Chisholm, Milwaukee County district attorney, responding to Walker’s comments.

Edit again--here is link to article in MJS.

I am having problems posting some of the images so I will just delete them as they are not working anyway.
