Scott Walker's closest political aide has just been named in Milwaukee County Circuit Court Monday as the source of damaging revelations that undermine Walker's claim that he has cooperated with the John Doe criminal corruption probe into his current and former administrations.
Tim Russell, who was hired or promoted by Scott Walker even after he was fired for stealing from a state agency,
was said in court Monday to have given Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Dan
Bice information that showed that, contrary to Walker's claims, Walker
was stonewalling investigators all along.
The shocking revelation that Scott Walker's closest aide sought to
damage Walker on the eve of Tuesday's historic recall election indicated
that Russell was cooperating with a prosecution against Walker himself.
"If Republicans are wondering who is leaking information about
crimes that Scott Walker may have committed, they need only look into
their own house. That Scott Walker's longtime and closest political
aide, who is charged with stealing from veterans, is the source of
information undercutting Walker's self-serving claims of cooperation
shows with crystal clarity just why Wisconsin must remove Scott Walker
from office tomorrow," Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Mike Tate
said Tuesday.
"Today's revelation removes any doubt that Scott Walker is the target of a criminal prosecution."
