Documents released in first John Doe investigation... 14 gigs Worth.

[Ellipsis]

MILWAUKEE -- Reporters here are beginning to go through a mountain of documents seized as part of a now-closed secret investigation into aides and associates of Gov. Scott Walker while he was Milwaukee County executive. The Milwaukee County Executive’s Office released the 14 gigabytes of data Friday morning. The records constitute a small portion of the material seized as part of the John Doe probe.

Unlike previous disclosures into the once-secret investigation, the records released Friday are not emails but rather documents saved on county employees’ work computers, such as spreadsheets, photos and other documents.

Six Walker aides and associates were convicted as a result of that investigation, including two for campaigning on taxpayer time.

A second John Doe investigation, which was triggered by the first, is focused on alleged illegal coordination by conservative groups and Walker’s 2012 recall campaign. It was halted by a federal judge earlier this year, but that ruling is under appeal. More documents linked to the second probe could be released soon.
