Newly released emails... Walker Was Part of the O’Donnell Park Coverup

[Ellipsis]

In the initial phases of the John Doe investigation, the public learned how then-Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker’s county aides worked on his gubernatorial campaign while working at their taxpayer-funded jobs. Some of these aides were prosecuted for their illegal behavior.

But the release of hundreds of emails sealed for years under the John Doe’s secrecy order—recently released as part of the litigation involving the O’Donnell Park tragedy—reveals more serious evidence of how Walker’s top campaign advisers were actually calling the shots on county matters to protect Walker and his campaign for governor from political damage from this tragedy.

And make no mistake: Scott Walker was definitely aware that his campaign and county staffers were working together to shape his image as he ran for governor in 2010.

Walker was copied on almost all of the emails.

4. Doubtful... these emails were from the John Doe investigation and recently released.

More of an image thing, and counter to some of the earlier spin he's been giving on the delay to release the info earlier.

5. I don't trust DA John Chisholm to do the job anymore... We really need the Feds to investigate!!

I wouldn't want to re-open the last investigation. Start a new one w/FBI, CIA, DOJ, Internal Revenue or whatever.

I feel as though we are living in Mordor/hell w/all the corruption!!

It should be obvious that charges/indictments should be leveled against Wanker himself!!

3. Does not paint a pretty picture of Herr Walker and his goons. Thanks Ellipsis.

6. I used to think that walker was a puddle of diarrheic weasel shit.......

I've since concluded that that was unduly insulting to sick weasels. My apologies to the Mustelidae family.

I don't understand why he wasn't. (Besides the corruption part. . . )

9. Why is Walker's County spokesperson working for Clark?

From the emails it’s clear that McLaughlin had to run all communications through this inner circle, which apparently is the same circle that prosecutors dubbed “The Campaign Group.” McLaughlin was frequently overruled on her suggestions and deferred to Walker and his campaign advisors on statements about O’Donnell Park and responses to reporters.

McLaughlin was so committed to Walker’s political future that she monitored all news coverage of county matters and forwarded them to the group. No matter was too small for her attention. For example, she emailed Walker and his inner political and county circle “can someone get supporters to vote?” on a Business Journal poll asking if former Congressman Mark Neumann or Walker would win the Republican primary for governor.

McLaughlin was given immunity from prosecution for her activities while Walker was in office. She’s currently the spokeswoman for Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke.
