John Doe emails: 'Dark side' was code for Scott Walker campaign
Source: WISCONSIN STATE JOURNAL
Scott Walker’s Milwaukee County staff had a code name for his gubernatorial campaign with which they secretly coordinated strategy and messaging nearly every day: “the dark side.”
The winking reference appears several times in emails that are among some 227,000 pages of records released Tuesday by Milwaukee County. The records, from 2009 and 2010, are among hundreds of thousands of documents seized by prosecutors in the John Doe investigation into Walker’s county executive office before he became governor and are now being released at the request of various media.
It was the fifth release of records related to that investigation, which closed in 2013. The probe resulted in charges and fines against six former employees and associates of Walker — including two for campaigning on county time. Walker was not charged.
Most of the correspondence involves routine county business, but many of the messages were sent using private email accounts.
County staff also used private emails to conduct campaign business and communicate with Walker and his campaign staff, sometimes during regular working hours. In one email from September 2009 with the subject line “county vs. dark side,” Walker’s county spokeswoman, Fran McLaughlin, warned Walker chief of staff Tom Nardelli and campaign manager Keith Gilkes about not crossing the two email systems.
