WTMJ Talkers Downplay The John Doe Charges

Wagner says the charges "won't hurt Walker at all," and both say Walker should (but won't) get the credit for asking for a probe into the missing money in the first place.

He and Sykes agree the charges are "non-political.

This is heavy, heavy spin.

What a big "nothing-burger" to show for 20 months of investigative work!

Good thing the Walker administration has such a fine moral compass and reported this upon noticing the accounting irregularities.

I could have only imagined the negativity directed at Walker had he actually done something wrong here.

The investigation is ongoing. Nothing? Hmm....

You're kidding right? Walker's county administration drops a dime asking the DA to look into what seems to be missing money. The DA now alleges that an employee stole from a Walker administration program and used the money for personal stuff, including a vacation to Hawai'i with his domestic partner.

That hurts Walker how exactly? You're the one that's spinning and, at your age (or mine), it's so much easier to get dizzy.

Always nice to hear from you, Rick. And you're right: we all need to take it easy. Glad you've taken a break from your heavy lifting for Gableman.

So Professor, I guess that wraps up the whole John Doe, and these other arrests and confiscations have nothing to do with it, and we can all move along, there's nothing to see?

The entire investigation does not cast Walker in a very good light at all.
Walker gave the entire fund raising event over to Russell-

Walker is a poor judge of character,a reflection of his deceitful ways.

John- No kidding. It looks like these arrests were "happy accidents" they landed on as they were looking into things a whole lot bigger and seamier. Then again, if you're dumb enough to listen to WTMJ in the first place.....

You can tell the Walker hacks know this is bad- it's why they're so quick to call it "nothing'. If you read the complaint, there's a whole lot more where this came from, in a lot of directions.
