If you’re one of those one-percenters who wants to use your fortune to influence politics, and you’re looking for a general election-friendly alternative to Tea Party-aligned candidates like [Senators] Rand Paul (R-KY) or Ted Cruz (R-TX), the sudden fall of Chris Christie has left you taking a long, hard look at Scott Walker,” Hayes said.

But Wednesday saw the release of more than 28,000 emails from former deputy chief of staff Kelly Rindfleisch. The messages suggested Walker, a former executive for Milwaukee County, was part of a secret email system using hidden wireless routers, which he and his staff used to coordinate his 2010 gubernatorial bid during office hours.

While Walker has denied being connected to the email ring, one message from administration director Cynthia Archer to Rindfleisch welcomed Rindfleisch to the “inner circle.”

“I use this private account quite a bit to communicate with SKW and [then-chief of staff Tom] Nardelli,” Walker wrote. “You should be sure you check it throughout the day.” Hayes noted that “SKW” stood for Walker’s whole name, Scott Keith Walker.
