BREAKING: Scott Walker Says Aide Indicted Was Doing What She Was Expected To Do

[Pharaoh]

MADISON - In a rare moment of candor, Scott Walker yesterday admitted to reporters in Madison that his indicted former fundraiser and deputy chief of staff, Kelly Rindfleisch, “did the things she was expected to do.”

Previously revealed court documents show that Rindfleisch stated she was hired to Scott Walker’s administration for the purpose of doing policy work for Walker’s gubernatorial campaign, and that she took her assignments from another indicted Walker aide, Tim Russell.

While on taxpayer time, Rindfleisch sent or received more than 1,300 fundraising emails, including hundreds with Walker spokesman, Cullen Werwie, who has prosecutorial immunity for his testimony against Rindfleisch, and Brett Davis, Walker’s preferred Lt. Gov. candidate who currently serves as the state’s Medicaid director.

In addition to her extensive illegal fundraising, Rindfleisch exchanged more than 1,000 emails with Scott Walker’s campaign managers on taxpayer time.

2. HELLO Mr. Prosecutor........!!!

3. Is there a Wisconsin State version of the Hatch Act?

Because this is a CLEAR crossing of partisan politics into policy.

5. Haven't you heard republicans don't think rules apply to them.

[quakerboy]

13. Reality seems to bear out

that they are correct in that belief. Rules are applied against democrats who are then put in jail. Republicans get supreme court rulings installing them in presidencies regardless of votes.

15. Now your talking facts for sure.

4. Wow, that statement could make a great campaign ad.

6. HUGE K & R !!!

7. What, we don't believe in establishing private fiefdoms like the Koches do?

Vote him out or we're all going back to the Dark Ages. Meet the new face of cronyism in government, just like the old ones. Too bad that a century of progressive legislation has been eroded so completely in just the amount of time the Kochroach has been in office. It's horrifying that the election is anywhere near close.

8. Well, then, it's settled...

He should be indicted as an accomplice ... After that, he can add "stupid" to his portfolio, right next to "criminal".

9. It will be a big waste of repub money if Scott

Gets his butt beat and I would love it more if he was convicted. What a great victory for the citizens of Wisconsin. Vote like you never have before.

10. I don't think this TV show is on anymore, what's the current one?

The website shows 2007 as the last comment:

11. Just doing Satan's bidding, nothing unusual -- now move along...

The google-eyed homunculus hired by Koch Industries can't screw the state up without some hired help on the state's dime...

[EC]

12. So, he's saying clearly that she was hired to do

campaign work in a State office by his, on State payroll, during State time?

[WI_DEM]

14. And why isn't this getting more play in the media here?
