Darlene Wink pleaded guilty Tuesday to two misdemeanor charges of fundraising in the courthouse for then Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker's campaign for governor.

Wink, 61, worked as Walker's constituent services coordinator in the county executive's office at the time. She was charged with working on fundraising events for Walker's gubernatorial campaign in 2009 and 2010 while supposedly working her taxpayer-funded county job.

The charges grew from the secret John Doe investigation, now in its 20th month, into a variety of issues from the time Walker served as county executive.

"What I was doing was putting together fliers that were for a fundraiser," Wink told Circuit Court Judge Daniel Konkol.

1. Ohh the irony of it all!!! *wink wink*

In one email exchange in 2009, she asked friend and fellow Walker aide Timothy Russell how she could erase a document from an online chat session. Russell told her it would disappear from her computer when she logged out, though investigators were able to ferret it out.

"I just am afraid of going to jail - ha! ha!" Wink wrote.

6. from Politiscoop: Wink Turned Fink - No longer Denying Walker Knew

...Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Mike Tate commented following Darlene Wink’s Tuesday's guilty plea stating:

"The guilty plea by a Scott Walker aide, who is cooperating with the ongoing John Doe probe, is the clearest evidence yet of the culture of corruption built to benefit Scott Walker on his crooked path from Milwaukee to Madison. In the coming weeks and months we will learn more about what Scott Walker knew and when he knew it. This much is clear: No governor in modern times has been so closely linked to political corruption and today's guilty plea punctuates that. The people of Wisconsin have every right to be afraid that Walker has brought this criminal culture with him to Madison."

9. This post in General Discussion included Walker's quoted "outrage"

after Georgia Thomson was indicted (before she was cleared) of
putting party before public interest:

His quotes might make a good sound bite for an ad during the
recall election.

7. I think Walker will resign either right before recall or

if he's charged. He'll resign and see if the Lt. Gov. can carry on his mission.

Any way you look at it, Wanker is toast.

8. He'll only resign if his Koch Masters force him to.

He can't think for himself with ALEC or Koch.
