Casper<br />3) the TGTBT factor combined with unsubstantiated sources, and based on leaks of *future* developments.<br /> The latter aspect supports the theory the story was a plant (i.e. sucker-bait) intended to undermine the DA's investigation as much as the recall effort. Why would the DA leak word of coming indictments but wait until after the election? They wouldn't - when they have the evidence, they'll announce charges. <br /> But planting such a sensational story is certainly a sign of panic and desperation.

The GOP is clearly terrified of the huge Milwaukee and Madison early voting turnouts and trying to use any diversion they can. Don't fall for it these last 9 days.<br /><br /> But I wouldn't count on Dan Bice reporting anything on Walkergate between now and June 5. His editors at the J-S have clearly ordered him off the case, and instead are telling him to do 'union power' stories to play into the hands of TMJ radio and the 262 trailer trash that the J-S panders toJake formerly of the LPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660401299391001751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-25305692809349795092012-05-27T07:59:46.594-05:002012-05-27T07:59:46.594-05:00Good work on this.

You have earned the respect of many readers as the go-to source on Walkergate.<br /><br />Which begs the question, what is the connection between Goodson and Walker, WIGOP, or other right wing groups?

Corrupt political operations typically have many tentacles. Every time someone is granted immunity their testimony brings more players into the frame, which means the investigation gets extended.<br /><br />The authorities are not going to rush indictments only to later discover they missed some of the miscreants or failed to uncover facts that would weigh against some charges being filed. They are trying to make sure they get it right. This is called integrity, a concept our Wisconsin Republicans unfortunately are no longer familiar with.Garethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-70868086277655554182012-05-27T07:27:16.730-05:002012-05-27T07:27:16.730-05:00Thank you for stopping the rumor, Capper.

My first thought on reading it was, how cautious and circumspect of the DA to wait until after the election to announce any indictments, since to do so before the election would inevitably invite a vicious round of denunciations from the reich-wing blogosphere and everyone else with dogs on that side of the fight. After reading your column here, I'm still not convinced. I certainly don't see why anyone would choose not to vote because indictments might be forthcoming.Bill Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15173233213415100012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-75234961815816365772012-05-26T23:40:44.420-05:002012-05-26T23:40:44.420-05:00Scooter Libby trial, not administration.Scooter Libby trial, not administration.John Caspernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-89440800351187192622012-05-26T23:39:56.590-05:002012-05-26T23:39:56.590-05:00Thanks Capper.

Tremendous expectations that the prosecutor, Pat Fitzgerald, would indict Karl Rove. One by one, all the major news outlets went with badly sourced rumors. The only holdout was Firedoglake, who refused to confirm. Their readers were screaming at them. You've broken all the biggest scoops on this story, why won't you break this one? Very simple. The story was wrong. Rove was never indicted.John Caspernoreply@blogger.com
