Judge orders documents released in probe of Scott Walker aides

Madison — An appeals court judge ordered the release Wednesday of numerous documents in the closed secret investigation of aides to Gov. Scott Walker, including the personal emails of convicted aide Kelly Rindfleisch.

Also to be filed with the Court of Appeals are the search warrant for seizing records from Walker's office when he was Milwaukee County executive and a transcript of the secret hearing over that and other warrants. The search warrant was issued on Nov. 1, 2010, the day before Walker was elected governor.

Appeals Judge Patricia Curley ordered the filing of the records within 15 days as part of Rindfleisch's appeal. The office of Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen, a Republican, sought to include the records in the court file as it fights Rindfleisch's contention that the warrants were overly broad.

The release of the records would give a glimpse into the 21/2 year John Doe investigation of Walker aides. A John Doe proceeding is Wisconsin's form of a secret judicial investigation of potential crimes or public misconduct and is similar to a federal grand jury investigation.

I can't imagine anyone doing time for that piece of shit, and the Koch's money train isn't going to buy enough defense to keep everyone out of jail.

So much damage has been done to civil society in WI by the Koch-Walker cabal. It almost seems too late. Keep on it, Badgers.

needs to go.

He'll get so much money from his rich buddies that he can flood the tv with lies. He's already running ads trying to convince us the economy is great.

The best way to counter this is to expose his character to the Republicans who regret voting for him. A Democratic candidate won't be willing to do this, they will campaign on the issues.

Like a real quid pro quo or something.
