It is/was Walker's full responsibility to fully vet anyone whose name he offered as a person to be placed into power within his administration. How many appointments were made by Walker because of political connection and cronyism without fully vetting them before offering their name? He should have known anything that would cause even the slightest suspicion of corruption if he was anxious to protect his good name. He went before the County Board and presented these people as men/women of sterling character fully qualified to run the department or hold the position to which he was appointing them. Not only were most not vetted but few were qualified and did an abysmal job in the position to which they were appointed. I was there when most of these people were appointed and remember the personal endorsements Walker made for Tim Russell by him. He should be known by the company he has kept and held accountable for giving them access to do what they did.bmwnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-66682681401771030022012-01-07T01:47:50.562-06:002012-01-07T01:47:50.562-06:00I was just reading over some of the old posts here...I was just reading over some of the old posts here, and laughed out loud when you described Walker and Russell as "special friends."

Oh the scenarios that could be fabricated but entirely supported by available facts.jimspicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16316014985662331998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-755063040848540052012-01-07T00:33:24.966-06:002012-01-07T00:33:24.966-06:00@Anonymous 4:01

Pedophiles trade their images with each other like baseball cards. I would expect much more to break in this part of the investigation as the Feds will almost certainly be involved. One possible result might be the unraveling of a pedophile network.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-34229011392783425202012-01-06T08:15:11.596-06:002012-01-06T08:15:11.596-06:00I'm still not seeing the common thread of this...I'm still not seeing the common thread of this, and while I have no love for Walker (I even disliked him before it was cool to do so) at this point I'm almost more curious about what's really going on here.<br /><br />Chisholm's office must either know, or at the very least, strongly suspect, that a very serious crime occurred with someone high up in Walker's campaign or administration while he was County Exec. Whether or not it is Walker personally....I'm just not sure. <br /><br />Nardelli seems like he has a target on his back, but it seems like the charges here could be to put pressure on the smaller fish to talk. I believe this to be even more true knowing that 1.)that's how Chisholm's office operates with large cases and 2.)the all you can eat buffet of immunity deals that seems to be on the menu these days.<br /><br />What I can't figure out is what this crime might be. There's just too many questions, and some very odd connections between the railroad, the realtors and the staffers. I know a ton about campaign fiance law, and I still can't see what links this all together in a way that would be worth all this effort.<br /><br />Thoughts?Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00941589888549269060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-23885595813505478662012-01-06T07:54:19.271-06:002012-01-06T07:54:19.271-06:00Way to avoid the facts, Cindy!
