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.

How can he NOT be way up in the polls??

Because 47-48% absolutely despise his very existence and would vote for anyone or anything with a (D) just to see him gone. He committed the most serious form of blasphemy in WI... he went up against the unions and won. And they've had a jihad against him ever since.

Who wants to wade through thousands of other people’s emails?

Unemployed democrat hacks wanting a temp job from the Burke campaign.

I dunno.
I visited Wisconsin last week and saw a TON of pro-Walker signs all over the place. They love the guy.

The DEMS never quit, unlike the Republicans who roll over and play dead most of the time.

These guys are so corrupt it is not even remotely funny. Surely the good citizens of Wisconsin will see through this and it will backfire.

Likely be like other “revelations” like this, in which nothing scandalous came out.

Our terrific Milwaukee afternoon top talk Show Host Mark Belling is talking about this in length. Stating that Russ Abele and wife (County Exec who released these e-mails) have donated $63,000 to Mary Burke's election effort and that the Milwaukee Urinal Sentinel newspaper also has an editorial today. Boy, what coordination. Surprise, Surprise.

Unions are livid, hate Walker. Let's remember teachers had NO cost for their expensive health insurance (Walker drastically reduced this cost by dumping the Teacher's Union owned Health Plan), made the unions re-certify every year, took away the unions forcing union dues being deducted from teacher's paychecks. I could go on and on, but the ACT 10 has been a success.

Everyone PLEASE get at least 5 extra people to vote that normally might not. We need to pull this off in grand style. Walker needs all our help.

I just tried to watch the local TV news from Madistan. All 3 stations were doing their liberal best to smear Gov. Walker.

I gave each channel a chance to be worthy of staying tuned into, and each lasted about 2 seconds. Then click! Back to Fox News and FR!

So the alleged crimes were coordination between Walker’s political staff and the county officers, yet the persecutors just decided to release the e-mails at the same time as Burke made a big ad buy about the e-mails. Wow, what a coincidence

Imagine the way the Democrats talked about George W. Bush; Abele really is that way. He just barely graduated high school and basically got by on his family’s vast wealth. Google “Chris Abele drunk driving” for some interesting stories.

Business as usual. Of course none of this stuff is an issue when democrats are in charge. But all heck breaks loose once republicans win office and the media spins it as life is out of control. It’s all in their playbook.

I hope the people see the evil politics involved.

People will not see unless instructed on what the truth is and how to interpret it. This is where Conservatives fail, in communication. We hope people will see facts and put them together correctly while the democrats feed the people constant lies and interpret them for them. People don't do a lot of thinking, so we must do it for them.

WTH is going on in WI?

Likely what is going on is Soros and it needs to be exposed big time.
