MJS Report Says Scott Walker is at the Heart of Criminal Corruption Probe

http://newiprogressive.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1144%3Amjs-report-says-scott-walker-is-at-the-heart-of-criminal-corruption-probe&catid=38%3Athe-state-news&Itemid=56

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports “Bombshell” Email Exchange With Top Adviser John Hiller that suggests Scott Walker is at the Heart of the Criminal Corruption Probe that has already charged six Walker associates with 15 felonies.

MILWAUKEE - A breaking investigative report from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel suggests that Scott Walker is at the heart of the John Doe criminal corruption probe that has charged six Walker associates with 15 felonies.

The report discusses an email exchange between Walker and longtime adviser, John Hiller, over a County contract that is under investigation for potential bid-rigging.

Hiller, a realtor, longtime Republican operative and campaign advisor, served as Walker’s campaign treasurer from 1993 until his abrupt resignation in May 2011, just weeks after Walker’s spokesman, Cullen Werwie, was granted immunity in the John Doe criminal corruption probe. Hiller is the former Chair of the Milwaukee County Republican Party, was a volunteer member of President George W. Bush’s Advance Staff, and served on the state steering committee for Bush in 2004.

i'm not from there, never been there probably never will be, but it would be soooo sweet to see this guy lose in a week and end up in prison thereafter.

asked him if he'd been offered $100 to put up a "I STAND WITH GOVERNOR WALKER" yard sign. He said they knew better - he has a "RECALL WALKER" sign out as do his neighbors.

I have a good feeling about this one.

GO, BADGERS!

I only know one person in Wisconsin, and he's a raging Republican unfortunately, so my personal "man on the inside" is feeding me biased info.

I know the JS is reporting this....but a few days ago we were warned about the possibility of a false story being circulated that Walker could use to discredit Tom...

check...double check...triple check the sources before you spread this.

My credentials here are beyond reproach.

If the Journal-Sentinel has a breaking story about the Governor, you would expect it would be up on their website, not just on New Progressive.

and if someone was to compare post counts, they might question why you have less than 100 posts, but the person you accused has over 10,000. But that would be unfair and not based on any other facts, wouldn't it?

Walker is a slime and I hope to hell he goes down, but I doubt it's about this.

all notion of bombshell revelation is a matter of interpretation of a story published on Monday the 28th.
