Tim Russell, an aide to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) when he served as Milwaukee County executive, has been charged with three counts of embezzlement. Russell, who was Walker's county housing director, allegedly took more than $10,000 from an unspecified business. The arrest comes more than a year and a half after an investigation began into people who worked for Walker in Milwaukee.

This is a big deal. Anyone who has former aids or friends that were arrested or involved in some kind of criminal situation should be ousted (Of course this would include all Obama).

Expergoat can't let anything go without an Obama deflection.

Remember to thump your bible extra hard tonight, loser. No matter what your big black boyfriend says, it really is gay even if you don't swallow.

Deflect deflect deflect, lie.

Do the Exper-goat dance!!

Former? Walker got rid of him? Good on Walker.

There is no deflection you tards. We should get rid of anyone who has former aids or friends that were arrested or involved in some kind of criminal situation. I just added, for the sake of your own consistency, that Obama would also be one of them.

I'm find with getting rid of all of them. Are you?

Aids when he was County Executive. Fine. He's no longer County Executive.

Sorry Wissy, they're still involved with walker and the GOP. And since when does getting elected Governor excuse your staff from criminal charges? But nice try anyways.

Russell is accused of taking more than $20,000 from a veterans group known as the Heritage Guard Preservation Society, as well as thousands from two Milwaukee County Board candidates' campaign committees, the complaint said. He allegedly used the money for trips to Hawaii, the Caribbean, to meet with former presidential candidate Herman Cain and campaign operative Mark Block in Atlanta, and for renewing campaign websites for Walker's gubernatorial campaign.

In August 2010, as part of the probe, authorities seized computers used by Wink and Russell. Both worked for Walker at the county, and both were active in the county Republican Party and Walker's campaign for governor. Wink, Walker's constituent services coordinator in Milwaukee County, quit last year after admitting that she posted political pro-Walker comments â€" and comments slamming his opponents â€" on the Web while at work.

...Did he have a brain tumor too?

You libbies do realise that the Walker camp are the ones who 1st got the Milw. Cty DA involved correct? Over 2 yrs ago Walker saw something not quite right was going on & they went to the DA to get this all started. Walker & his people did exactly what we expect of public/private officials. He didn't try to cover anything up, he went to the authorities & let the system (lead by a VERY liberal/progressive DA) sort it all out. Maybe if we had more elected officials on both sides of the walkway do this, the public would be able to once again have some trust in publicly elected people & govn't itself.

Walker should be hailed over this, not scorned. The Milwa DA should also be hailed, he could have used this to really embarass the Gov., instead, he just did his job & went after only those guilty.

We should get rid of AIDS....

Aids when he was County Executive. Fine. He's no longer County Executive.

and clinton was out of the whitewater deal for years when starr went after him...

we need a special prosecutor to explain the child porn and disabled vet benefits theft aspects of this case....maybe marquette has some legal eagles they can lend to the cause...

Frankly, I hate Walker, but based on the facts of this case as it has been presented so far, it smacks of desperation to try to tie him to this. I'm hoping that more facts come out that DO tie him to this, but as of right now, no.

We should get rid of AIDS....

Ha ha. Thank you for pointing this out. Yes, the term for an assistant here is "aides."
