Regardless of recall, Walker may face indictment

[SeattleGirl]

According to government lawyers familiar with a Milwaukee criminal corruption probe, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is now a "target" of the investigation.

The legal sources, who are not involved in Wisconsin's recall, spoke on condition of anonymity. They said Walker faces "serious legal challenges," including "a possible indictment," regardless of the election results on Tuesday.

The sources indicate Walker's status was clarified more than a week ago, allegedly following a series of requests by Walker's legal team that prosecutors publicly clear him of any wrong doing before the recall election. Take Action News reached out to Governor Walker's spokesperson for comment on this story and received no response.

The investigation began in 2010 when Walker served as Milwaukee County executive. Six people have been charged, with accusations ranging from campaigning for Walker on government time to embezzlement. 13 other Walker associates have been given immunity from prosecution in exchange for their testimony in the case.

If this lying, corrupt fool wins the recall but then gets indicted and has to leave office anyway, would that mean another election would be called for or would another corrupt Republican be installed in Walker's place?

I assume that the next corrupt Republican in line would be installed.

And I further assume that everybody who voted to keep Walker in office would have egg on their face.

Republicans aren't smart when it comes to voting. Crooks abound and then they try to make excuses for them. Look at the nuts in WV who voted for the damned convict over PBO. They don't call them sheeple for nothing.
