Scott Walker needs to fire Brett Davis and Cullen Werwie -- now

Both of them were up to their eyeballs in the illegal fundraising scandal for which a former Walker staffer, Kelly Rindfleisch, was charged with four felonies on Thursday.
A key finding in the charges against Kelly Rindfleisch, who was Walker's deputy chief of staff in the Milwaukee County exec's office, is that Rindfleisch spent most of her time doing political fundraising at taxpayer expense. She was, the criminal complaint says, raising money for Davis, who was then a state representative running for the GOP nomination for lieutenant governor. He was Walker's preferred running mate, but lost the primary to Rebecca Kleefisch.
The complaint says that she sent some 300 emails to Davis during her working hours at the county, most related to fundraising. She also sent or received some 1,380 emails related fundraising activities during working hours.
Werwie, who was running Davis's campaign, was in the loop and exchanged many of those emails with Rindfleisch, the complaint shows. Davis and Walker were Rindfleisch's bosses.
Werwie, you may recall, was granted immunity when he testified in the John Doe investigation that so far has produced charges against four Walker staffers, and is continuing with more almost certain to come. Whether it reaches Walker himself or not, it has exposed some of his top aides in the county exec's office as lawbreakers and thieves.
