Thousands of Gov. Walker-Related Emails Released
ABC News ^ | October 21, 2014 | By SCOTT BAUER

Posted on 10/21/2014 11:08:24 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Thousands of emails prosecutors collected during the first secret investigation into Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's former aides and associates when he was a county executive were released Tuesday, prompting allegations from Walker and other Republicans that the timing two weeks before the election was politically motivated.

Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele's office made public the nearly 16,000 emails and attachments that prosecutors seized from county and personal computers during the investigation that ended in 2013. Walker was never charged but six of his aides and associates were convicted on charges ranging from theft to misconduct in office.

The documents' release comes in the midst of Walker's fierce re-election contest against Democrat Mary Burke. A Marquette University Law School poll released last week showed the race is tied.

Clearly an attempt to cast a pall over the upcoming election. I don’t think it will work. Who wants to wade through thousands of other people’s emails? Especially when 2 juges have gone on the record saying that there is nothing there.

Freep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.

The ones about “doughnuts in the conference room” will undoubtedly be interpreted to be a new Republican racist dog-whistle.

Here in Michigan, Mark Schauer (the democrat) is claiming that Rick Snyder is being investigated by the feds.

Rick Snyder is the one who asked for the investigation.

Nothing. Just the usual Rat hijinks. Walker will win in a cakewalk.

If Wisconsin does not re elect Walker, one of the best Govs Wisconsin has ever had and a major reason Wisconsin’s economy is doing great, then they deserve what they get.
