Related: About this forumFormer Scott Walker aide refuses to sort through emails
http://journaltimes.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/15237d5f-d502-5212-876a-75a731e8e545.htmlA former aide to Gov. Scott Walker convicted of misconduct in public office declined Friday to look through "tens of thousands" of pages of emails to identify which should be withheld from public view.
On Tuesday, an appeals court judge said she planned to unseal documents used to prosecute Kelly Rindfleisch, a former aide to Walker when he was the executive of Milwaukee County.
Judge Patricia Curley gave Rindfleisch 30 days to review documents and request that certain information, such as Social Security numbers or medical information, remain confidential. At that point, Curley said, she would issue a final ruling and release the records.
But in a letter to Curley Friday, attorney Franklyn Gimbel said it would be too expensive and time-consuming for his client to review all of the records, which Gimbel contends were collected using "overbroad" warrants that violated his client's right to privacy.

I do not think a responsible court will release the emails knowing there is probably sensitive info in them.--such as SS numbers, addresses, etc
