Walker's John Doe Meeting Preceded By Misdirection, Lies

(originally posted Monday, Feb. 7, 6:14 p.m.)
You simply cannot believe Scott Walker - - whose PolitiFact ratings are overwhelmingly in the "false" categories, and who has a track record of drawing a blank when the chips are down.

So here we go again, as Walker shows his dark side - - which is not normal for a political CEO - - and is and reinforces the growing belief that when he states a fact, the opposite is true:

The Journal Sentinel's Dan Bice on Monday gets Scott Walker to admit that it was the DA who initiated the John Doe probe meeting with Walker, not the other way around:

Gov. Scott Walker acknowledged Monday that prosecutors initiated the upcoming meeting they will have with him as part of the John Doe investigation about activities that occurred during Walker's tenure as Milwaukee County executive.
And that campaign emails turned over to the DA in 2010 had been subpoenaed - - in other words, after an order:
On Nov. 1, 2010 - the day before the general election - Chisholm's subpoenaed Walker's campaign emails. He said Monday that the campaign has turned over thousands of emails as a result.
Three days ago, Walker said this to the same newspaper:

"Last year, my representatives voluntarily contacted Mr. Chisholm's office to arrange a time to discuss any outstanding issues. I will be voluntarily meeting with Mr. Chisholm," Walker said.

Voluntary actions - - after a subpoena? And a meeting after the DA asked for it?

Nah.

DA probably asked nicely.
Lawyers said - probably a good idea.
If you don't Governor- you'll see a subpoena.

Walker will need to check in with that alter ego.

Walker increasingly reminds me of a petulant teenager. What parent hasn't faced the obstinate
I-don't-know defense? We are looking at a classic case of arrested development, probably resulting in an actual arrest.
