Well, Walker no doubt has more ugly shit to hide. Bush knew better than to put his dishonesty in email.

Gov. Scott Walker won't follow Jeb Bush's lead by voluntarily releasing all of his emails from his first term in statewide office. "I don't see any reason why to do that," Walker said at a Milwaukee press event on Wednesday.
Earlier this week, Bush said he would make public some 250,000 emails from his two terms as Florida's governor and publish a new e-book in the "interest of transparency." Bush made the announcement a day before, saying he will "actively explore the possibility of running for president."
...
Of course, thousands of Walker's emails have already been made public as part of a secret criminal investigation of his aides and associates during his time as Milwaukee County executive. But those records cover the period only up until November 2010, when Walker won the governor's seat the first time. Last year, additional emails were released some accidentally and some intentionally as a result of a federal lawsuit challenging a second John Doe probe of the Walker campaign and conservative political groups in Wisconsin.
Those records showed an out-of-state company hoping to set up a mine in northern Wisconsin gave $700,000 to Wisconsin Club for Growth, a nonprofit closely tied to Walker, during the 2011 and 2012 recall elections. Walker has said he did not solicit the money and doesn't think he knew about the donations.

I'm sure he will be just as adequate at following the dictates of his shadowy overseers as Obama and the other Bushes were.
Scott Walker might still get indicted! (in my dreams.) I'm sure his legal staff won't allow any docs out.

Men like Bush and Walker are your leaders? These are men that are following in Bush and Cheney's footsteps. If you elect one of them, you forfeit the right to ever again mention "the founding fathers".
Get a fucking clue!
