Judge Expanded Probe Day Before Walker Election

“The day before Scott Walker was elected governor in 2010, a judge expanded the secret investigation to four more of his top aides, thousands of pages of documents released Wednesday show,” the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports.

“The documents reveal Nov. 1, 2010, was a busy day for investigators and prosecutors in the case. They conducted raids at Walker’s Milwaukee County executive office, his campaign office and the homes of several of his aides, including Kelly Rindfleisch. Those details spilled out Wednesday after a Court of Appeals judge ordered the unsealing of about 27,000 emails to and from Rindfleisch, as well as 434 pages of search warrants, affidavits and a hearing transcript.”
