++The Scott Walker criminal conspiracy case as revealed by the documents released today is a real bomb. Check out the New Republic's very good piece,Politico,TPM's various posts. This is about the coordination of donors dark and aboveground in violation of Wisconsin's campaign laws. A judge married to Scott Walker's own attorney ruled that the John Doe investigation should cease and the e-mails be destroyed. The prosecution appealed and as part of the appeals court making a decision on whether it should go forward,they ordered the documents released. In the several hundred pages released today,the prosecutors' own 36-page summary of charges are included.
++The Walker camp and the Republican Party have been trying to kill this investigation from the beginning. But it is key to understanding Walker's election and the recall campaign. Walker had problems in this upcoming campaign as his promises of job growth had dismally failed against reality.
++The Cook Report had this year's race as definitely Republican, then moved it to leaning Republican, and with recent polls showing a tie moved it to "Toss-Up". All of this before today's bombshell.
++Even the Wisconsin press, which had been supportive of Walker,has covered it.
++John Nichols, who is a progressive Badger and has covered this story in the past, is overseas today and missed this epic story.
++Walker has reserved $250,000 of airtime in Wisconsin to explain this case. He is now beyond "damage control".
