"Hillary Clinton's potential evasion of laws is something she should answer questions about," Kirsten Kukowski, the communications director for Walker's political organization, said in a statement. "Wisconsin has a strong open records law with a broad presumption of access to records and the governor has very specific policies in place in his office to assure the laws are complied with fully."
Democrats quickly began calling foul in response, saying Walker staffers used personal laptop computers and set up a clandestine wireless router to conduct campaign business on government time when he was Milwaukee county executive. These details have been a major focus of one of the "John Doe" investigations.

"It was Scott Walker who had a secret email system that was used in his office to avoid public scrutiny when he was Milwaukee county executive. Walker routinely used a campaign email account himself to discuss official business and to email county staffers also using private email addresses," an email from the Democratic National Committee said. "Walker's county aides even set up a secret wireless router in the county executive's office and traded emails that mixed county and campaign business on Gmail and Yahoo accounts."

"The past few weeks have revealed Scott Walker to be the least prepared, least knowledgeable Republican presidential wannabe, but now he's making a run at being the most hypocritical, too," American Bridge Vice President Jessica Mackler said in a statement. "These cheap, political attacks are ignorant of Governor Walker's record--and reality."

The RW union-busting republican might win or lose the race, but with a conservaDem running for our side ... our side loses for sure.
Are you one of those quislings who won't vote for Hillary in the general cause you're sad that your preferred candidate didn't get the nomination? So you'd prefer a dangerous nincompoop like Walker? You're not just cutting off your nose to spite your face, you're performing malpractice on the whole country. No thanks.

Just wondering--does Walker's new communication director have any knowledge of Walker's secret email account? She must!!

Scott Walker, whose office once had a secret email, hits Hillary...
The Daily Beast points out that as Milwaukee county executive, Walker's staff made extensive use of private email.

.....But the Daily Beast's Lloyd Green pointed out Wednesday that "Hillary is not the only one with an email problem. Can you say Scott Walker, the Wisconsin governor and Republican 2016 frontrunner?"
Green notes that prosecutors in the John Doe investigation into illegal campaigning by Walker aides uncovered a secret wireless router in Walker's office when he was Milwaukee County executive.
"On top of signaling criminality, the emails were windows into just how Team Walker operated, namely that being inside the private email group was a badge of honor," writes Green. "One email from a senior Walker aide, Cynthia Archer, to [Walker's then-deputy chief of staff Kelly] Rindfleisch read, 'Consider yourself now in the inner circle ... I use this private account quite a bit to communicate with SKW [Scott Kevin Walker] and Nardelli.' Nardelli is Tom Nardelli, Walkers chief of staff. Archer added, 'You should be sure you check it throughout the day.'".......
