AP source: Walker donor arrested as part of probe

<snip>The investigation began in May 2010, around the time that Darlene Wink quit her job as the Milwaukee County constituent services coordinator under Walker when he was county executive. Wink admitted to posting anonymous political comments on websites and blogs while at work.

Authorities searched her home in August and took the work computer of Tim Russell, a former Walker campaign staffer who was then working as Milwaukee County housing director.

In September, law enforcement officers raided the Madison home of Cindy Archer, who had worked for Walker at the county and followed him to Madison, where she was one of his top aides at the Department of Administration. Archer maintains that she's innocent and continues to work for the Walker administration, but in a lower profile job at the Department of Children and Family Services.

Walker has said he has not been contacted by prosecutors and he's defended his integrity, saying he lives by the standards he got from his mother and father, a Baptist minister.

I smell a pay for play scandal.
