The failed media assassination of Scott Walker

scott-walker

Back in November I wrote a post about the war on Scott Walker, the man democrats fear the most. It hasn’t gone well for liberals, and so they have resorted to outright slander and libel.

Demented democrat prosecutors in Wisconsin have been conducting a John Doe probe for the last few years, bottom feeding in an effort to find something with which to try someone on the right. Anything.

Watchdog.org has a done a marvelous job on this obscene war on Scott Walker. You can read about all the left wing media malpractice here. The probe was shut down twice. After the second shutdown, there was a predictable document dump. Again, predictably, the left wing media seized on it and tried and convicted Scott Walker immediately.

Gov. Scott Walker’s Campaign Violations

In the years since that disastrous opinion, politicians around the country have set out to prove Justice Kennedy wrong by stealthily working with the “independent” groups that raise money on their behalf. The latest to get caught doing so is Gov. Scott Walker, Republican of Wisconsin. According to state prosecutors, he was at the helm of a broad and illegal fund-raising effort that involved coordinating with outside spending groups and even controlling them.

Campaign violations! Done deal! Sentence first, trial later! What contemptible bullshit.

Evidence Mounting that Walker Campaign Is at Center of Criminal Probe

Newly-unsealed court documents and media leaks add to a growing body of evidence that Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s campaign is at the center of a wide-ranging secret probe into campaign finance violations during the state’s contentious 2011 and 2012 recall elections.

The John Doe probe began in August of 2012 and is examining possible “illegal campaign coordination between (name redacted), a campaign committee, and certain special interest groups,” according to an unsealed filing in the case. Sources told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel the redacted committee is the Walker campaign, Friends of Scott Walker. Campaign filings show that Walker spent $86,000 on legal fees in the second half of 2013.

Gov. Scott Walker Has Violated Campaign Finance Laws More Than 1,000 Times Since 2009

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has committed 1,115 violations of campaign finance law, totaling more than $500,000 worth of fines, since 2009. This includes 456 violations in the last 72 hours, worth nearly $284,000. Under Wisconsin statute, each violation invites a fine of $500:

“Scott Walker has improperly reported well over $500,000 in contributions from inside and outside of Wisconsin,” said Scot Ross, One Wisconsin Now Executive Director. “Scott Walker has absolutely no interest in following the campaign finance rules of the state of Wisconsin and we again call for state regulators to address his serial violation of our laws.”

Watching Scotty Blow

Politico:

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker participated in a “criminal scheme” to coordinate fundraising for Republicans trying to beat back efforts to recall him and state senators from office, local prosecutors argue in court documents released Thursday.

Scott Walker, eyeing 2016, faces fallout from probes as ex-aide’s e-mails are released

And what’s important to WaPo?

MILWAUKEE — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who has had his eye on a 2016 presidential run since his battles with labor unions made him a Republican star, is dealing with the fallout of two criminal investigations at home that could complicate his move to the national stage.

One is ongoing, and although the other is closed and found no wrongdoing by Walker, it has the potential to embarrass him.

And that’s what it always has been about- killing Scott Walker’s infant national campaign in the crib. I have no doubt that support for this comes from a white house in Washington DC.

Well guess what? Walker was NOT the target of the probe. It’s only fair that we send props to MD Kittle at Watchdog:

MADISON, Wis. – After last week’s breathless headlines putting Gov. Scott Walker at the center of a nationwide “criminal scheme,” the mainstream and left-leaning media are being forced to step back from such sensational indictments.

The man doing the forcing is the special prosecutor who raised the specter of said conspiracy in a court document — part of 268 pages of previously sealed records dumped last week by order of a federal appeals court and embraced by John Doe prosecutors.

An attorney for Francis Schmitz, one of several prosecutors involved in the secret John Doe investigation into dozens of conservative groups, sent out a statement Thursday, clarifying that Walker was not a target of the investigation and at no time “has he been served with a subpoena.”

Attorney Randall Crocker’s statement comes exactly one week after the 7th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals’ unsealing of documents related to a civil rights lawsuit against the John Doe prosecutors. Within minutes the legacy media and left-leaning outlets were frothing about what Schmitz had described in a court document as an “expansive” investigation. Stories everywhere pushed a theme of Walker engaged in a “criminal scheme.”

Not true, Schmitz’s attorney said a week after the damage of widespread press coverage had been done.

After several years and who know how much money prosecutors have nothing. This probe has been conducted with all the character of the KGB- in secrecy all the way.

What the left wing Obama-sucking media has done is a crime.

And a blessing.

These “news” outlets have just committed murder. They have killed their integrity. Regarding them as anything other than flacks for Barack Obama and the democrat party is simply impossible. Who would be stupid enough to put credence in anything they say now? This is the media who sees nothing wrong with the IRS targeting private citizens because of their political views. This is the same media who cannot find anything wrong with evidence being destroyed over and over and over. They’re despicable. They’re wretched.

And they may just have paved Scott Walker’s road to the White House.

I see this situation a little differently. All it does is prove that the ruling class media can lie with impunity and get away with it. As their utopic leftist fantasy world slowly crumbles around them, watch for the media to become more desperate, spewing even more blatant and vicious lies to try to prop up their failing agenda. They have always gleefully joined with Democrats in the politics of personal destruction of Republicans who threaten them. Now they have realized that there are no bounds or repercussions to their dishonest treachery.

All that crap thrown against the wall and nothing sticks. Something is very wrong with the crap.

Too many lawyers with time on their hands. America needs more engineers and techs and fewer lawyers.

Scott Walker (the man democrats fear the most) currently polls at 5% that is in 8th place on realclearpolourics poll for the GOP nomination
Dr john might this also be a good time to comment on that “scandal ” of the dem senator from NJ and the underage Dominican hookers ? ??

oil guy from Alberta
hi,
you know, they begun that crap from the day OBAMA HIRED THEM, LOTS OF THEM,
there was one paying a handicap person hundreds of dollar to enter the business
and report back , that he found a fault preventing him in a wheel chair to shop for items,
then the crooked lawyer would come to talk about the costing fees if he would fine him criminaly responsible,
and result to offer help by asking an amount of money to save all that trouble.
that lawyer was confronted by a journalist , he stood his lies as nessesary for checking on business,
A SUPER LIAR HE IS PROBABLY STILL DOING IT, INTIMIDATING PEOPLE AND BUSYNESS, TO GET PAY,
AND THAN WE HEARD OF A LOT MORE HAPPENING ON THE CITIZENS, WHO PREFER TO PAY THAN HAVING COURT CASE,
IT TOLD US THAT OBAMA AS SOON AS HE WAS MADE PRESIDENT, HAD FREED THE CRIMINALS
TO DO WHAT THEY COULD TO GET MONEYS FOR HIM. KEEPING THEIR SHARE,
IT SPREAD ALL OVER, AS BEING A GOOD PAYING JOB, LIKE
RUINING A CARREER OF A GOOD PERSON, WHO EXPOSE HIM,
IF YOU CROSS THEM THEY BECOME SPIDERS ON YOU,
MANY RANCHERS HAVE CLOSE BECAUSE OF THEIR INTIMIDATION, THEY WHERE BLEEDING THE RANCHERS,
WHO GAVE UP ON THEM AFTER FIGHTING SO LONG,
THE IRS DID IT TOO,
OBAMA HAS OPEN THE GATES OF HELL, SO NOTHING CAN EVER BE RIGHT,
BYE

How is media speculation about the investigations that might involve the Scott Walker administration any different from media speculation about investigations that might involve the Obama administration?

@Greg:
The difference is staggeringly stark. The media reports innuendo and false information as fact in order to destroy conservatives, but will report nothing, not even known facts harmful to Obama or other Dems in order to facilitate their corruption and treachery.

SCOTT WALKER IS WELL LIKE AND RESPECTED IN HIS place,
whatever they try to pin on him turn out to be a fabricated accusations,
he was targetted by the UNIONS, WHO TRY SO HARD, because
SCOTT, had to fight them,
not so long ago,
HE WOULD BE A VERY SMART PRESIDENT, HE LOVE AMERICA WITH ALL HIS HEART,
YOU CAN DEPEND ON HIM TO TELL AS IT IS, NOT A SMIDGON OF LIES IN HIS WORDS, not a smidgon of hatefull revenge on that man,
that is more than you got now,

Scott Walker is toast. And Beez, if you’re really against unions who protect average workers you’re dumber than I thought and have been sold a load of shit by Fox News.

Regarding them as anything other than flacks for Barack Obama and the democrat party is simply impossible.

Doc, man bites dog is news. This is dog bite flea. Duh.

@Greg:

Well, the main difference it that there are actual crimes being investigated in the Obama scandals.

Such as…?

And in todays Wisconsin State Journal, just one of the very liberal rags out of Madison, one of the head line stories on the front page is “Prosecutor: Walker not target in Doe”….That will not even begin to slow liberals down in this state…If you want to read some scary liberal obsession regarding Scott Walker look up the Capital Times on line…They are fanatical in their absolute hatred of the man…

Bobachek
HI,
those haters might be all UNION PEOPLE,

This one
you like to make judgement, that is dumb,
SCOTT WALKER , had a lot of problem with them, he had to hold his ground,
they where nasty bullies, from what we have seen,
so his enemies are that people, who want to destroy him,
easy to calculate,
i”m not against UNIONS, i am against anyone abusing the system,
NOW EAT YOUR WORDS
you are leaning to far left, watch it , you might fall down,

@This one:
Who have they protected? Jimmy Hoffa? Unions are just leftist government-sanctioned mafioso.

@This one:
You are always good for a laugh.

Clueless again you are.

The media equations:
Bad stuff reported about Republicans: divide by 1000 to get the truth.
Bad stuff reported about Democrats: Multiply by 10,000 to get even close to the actual facts.

@Greg: gregory th 8th iam,please sing a different tune already you really are pathetic,by the the way tap this one on the head and tell him its his turn to shriek
