Uh oh! It looks like Tea Party favorite, and future presidential hopeful, Scott Walker did a no no!

Prosecutors allege Gov. Scott Walker was at the center of an effort to illegally coordinate fundraising among conservative groups to help his campaign and those of Republican state senators fend off recall elections during 2011 and '12, according to documents unsealed Thursday.

In the documents, prosecutors lay out what they call an extensive "criminal scheme" to bypass state election laws by Walker, his campaign and two top deputies — R.J. Johnson and Deborah Jordahl. The governor and his close confidants helped raise money and control spending through 12 conservative groups during the recall elections, according to the prosecutors' filings.

The documents include an excerpt from an email in which Walker tells Karl Rove, former top adviser to President George W. Bush, that Johnson would lead the coordination campaign. Johnson is also chief adviser to Wisconsin Club for Growth, a conservative group active in the recall elections.

"Bottom-line: R.J. helps keep in place a team that is wildly successful in Wisconsin. We are running 9 recall elections and it will be like 9 congressional markets in every market in the state (and Twin Cities)," Walker wrote to Rove on May 4, 2011.

Look I don't want to be all "I told you so" here, but I totally KNEW this guy was a lowlife.

He looks like the kind of skeevy used car salesman who is always turning back the odometers, lying about the vehicles accident history, and trying to sell you unnecessary rust proofing just to screw you out of every nickel possible.

And the fact that he was working with Karl Rove to me is just about proof positive of his guilt.

These Teabagger Republicans really ARE just like the old Republicans, corrupt, larcenous, and willing to bend or break any law in order to get elected.
