The judge overseeing the investigation into people who worked for Gov. Scott Walker when he was the Milwaukee County executive said Wednesday that the probe is not complete and remains open. . Walker said Tuesday that he hoped the so-called “John Doe” investigation would end as early as this week. He made the comments in response to a question at a meeting of the Dairy Business Association and said afterward that he was basing his hope on media accounts and a general feeling that the investigation was winding down. . But retired Waukesha County Judge Neal Nettesheim told The Associated Press in a telephone interview from his home Wednesday that anyone guessing that the probe was coming to an end was engaging in “pure conjecture.” .
Six people have been charged so far as a result of the probe:
•Tim Russell, a former deputy chief of staff for Walker in his county office, reached a plea deal with prosecutors in a felony embezzlement case. He has a plea hearing set for Thursday. Russell was charged with embezzling more than $20,000 from a veterans group that Walker assigned him to lead.
•Kelly Rindfleisch, another former deputy chief of staff, pleaded guilty to a felony count of misconduct in office after she did campaign work on taxpayers’ time. Three similar counts were dismissed. She was sentenced last week to six months in jail.
•Kevin D. Kavanaugh, whom Walker had named to the county Veterans Service Commission, was found guilty last month of stealing more than $51,000 that had been donated to help veterans and their families. He is scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 7.
•Darlene Wink, a former Walker aide, pleaded guilty this summer to two misdemeanor charges of working on Walker’s gubernatorial campaign on county time. She has a Jan. 10 sentencing hearing.
•William Gardner, president and chief executive officer of Wisconsin & Southern Railroad Co., was sentenced to two years’ probation in July after being found guilty of exceeding state campaign donation limits and laundering campaign donations to Walker and other Wisconsin politicians.
•Brian Pierick, Russell’s domestic partner, was charged with child enticement, evidence of which was allegedly discovered during the investigation of Russell. Pierick’s jury trial is scheduled to start Jan. 29
Me thinks it appears Scotty’s about to walk the plank! Karma is good hope the fall drop’s him down twice at least as far as the people he took advantage of.
Actual proof of what? . The legitimate media always “covers up for” those not yet convicted. They say “The Alledged” so and so, even if the evdence is right there. . The officers that beat Rodney were Alledged to have beaten him. That’s just the way that journalism and the judicial system works in this nation. . It’s not as if the entire White Water/ Robert Fiske/ Ken Starr/ Vince Foster conspiracy theories/ and on and on and on and on and on… weren’t discussed on every network newscast every evening and weren’t front page news in the New York Times every day from 1992 through till 2000 and then after as there were allegations of gifts to the Clintons being gifts to the USA and then there was Marc Rich’s pardon (never mind that George H Bush had pardoned everybody involved in Iran Contra, in effect giving himself a pardon with nary a "how do you do " from the gallery with the peanuts!) . Please. Just because you don’t remember it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen!
It would be extremely funny if it weren’t extremely sad, that the “family values” party of Rush, Newt, Etc. always accuses the Democrats of not having “family values”. Hello Pot? Kettle calling!

It’s a shame Dem Libs won’t go after Tim Geithner to pay ALL the back taxes he owes.
