In reply to the discussion: Absolutely no one in government should implement a 'private email server'... [View all]Pharaoh
(8,209 posts)Madison Thousands of documents unsealed Wednesday link Gov. Scott Walker to a secret email system used in his office that would avoid public scrutiny when he was Milwaukee County executive.
The records also show that on the day before he was elected governor in 2010, the secret investigation into links between Walker's county government staff and his political campaign was widened to include four more aides. That same day, search warrants were executed on Walker's campaign and county offices, as well as the homes of some of his assistants.
It is against state law in Wisconsin for public employees to work for political parties and campaigns while being paid by taxpayers to provide government services.
Throughout the secret investigation, Walker said he had zero tolerance for government employees doing campaign work while on the clock. But the newly released records detail almost daily interactions between his top county and campaign staffers.
