Walker questions timing of latest email release (approx 16,000 e-mails released today)

State Republican Party calls release of Walker emails 'slimy political stunt'

MADISON, Wis. -

Thousands of emails prosecutors collected during the first secret investigation into Gov. Scott Walker's former aides and associates when he was county executive have been released.

Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele's office on Tuesday made public the nearly 16,000 emails and attachments that prosecutors seized from county and personal computers.

The investigation ended in 2013 with six of Walker's aides and associates convicted on charges ranging from theft to misconduct in office.

Walker wasn't charged, although prosecutors launched a second secret investigation in 2012 focusing on whether his campaign illegally coordinated with conservative groups.

But, really, what is he complaining about? He didn't make any effort to ease voter ID requirements for the coming election.

Talk about slimy political moves.

...and would have been if Walker and his minions had not tried constant delaying tactics at all levels of the judicial system.

And the prosecutors worked so hard on it. He should be grateful he isn't already in jail.

Abele and walker have been mighty cozy these last few years.
