UPDATED: Conservative Cat Fight! Scott Walker ready to cut deal with prosecutors

Although the reporting is wrapped in a convoluted opinion piece attempting to soften the blow and paint Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker as some kind of First Amendment hero, the Wall Street Journal is suggesting that the attorney for Walker's campaign is working on a deal with John Doe investigators. The prosecutors are looking at possible illegal campaign coordination between Walker's campaign and outside groups.  
The special prosecutors' efforts were delayed recently when Walker's lawyers were able to get a hyper-partisan federal judge to grant a temporary stay. That ruling, like many previous partisan rulings from Judge Rudolph Randa, will almost certainly be overturned on appeal. You can read more about Judge Randa in this recommended post from puddytat.
According to the Wall Street Journal:
We've learned that Steven Biskupic, who represents Friends of Scott Walker, has been negotiating with Wisconsin special prosecutor Francis Schmitz to settle the state's investigation. The understandable concern among the direct targets of the John Doe is that Mr. Biskupic will cut a deal that would exonerate Mr. Walker while wresting concessions from some of Mr. Walker's allies.
if he walks free are we seeing Koch money buy their WISC. golden boy's freedom, or if he pays the piper have the Koch pimps kicked him to the curb, don't see him going anywhere if convicted a charge will not rid us of the bought and paid for republican gov. who is paid by taxpayer to shaft them and paid by Kochs for doing it.
