“Independent” Media Trackers requests Rep. Pocan’s travel records after Pocan campaign requests Gov. Walker travel records

On September 9, the blog on Congressman Marc Pocan’s campaign website posted an entry noting the Pocan for Congress campaign put in a request to the Wisconsin Department of Administration for records pertaining to Gov. Scott Walker’s air travel from June 4, 2014 to September 5, 2014.

Just hours after the Pocan for Congress campaign made their request, right-wing smear group Media Trackers, a supposedly “independent” media (and I use that term loosely) organization, filed their own request for Congressman Pocan’s travel schedule through September 1.On Friday, the Pocan campaign for Congress put a request into the Wisconsin Department of Administration for Governor Scott Walker’s air travel from June 4 to September 5, following a previous request for the balance of his time as Governor. Campaign staff personally delivered the request at approximately 10 a.m. Friday, September 5 and confirmation email was sent at 10:36 a.m. CST from the Walker administration.

At 1:33 p.m. EST/12:33 p.m. CST that same day, an allegedly independent, disreputable right-wing organization, Media Trackers, sent Representative Mark Pocan’s official office in Washington a request for his official travel schedule, through September 1. That request came just hours after the Pocan campaign made the request of Governor Walker’s office.

For a supposedly “independent” right-wing organization, Media Trackers sure did seem to have some inside information regarding the request for Gov. Walker’s travel records by Congressman Pocan’s reelection campaign, given how quickly Media Trackers made their request of Congressman Pocan.

But remember folks…..there’s no coordination between Gov. Walker, his staffers, and the assorted right-wing organizations who are only too eager to do Gov. Walker’s bidding.
