Documents Tie Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker to Secret Email System 
-----------------------------------------------------------------


 
A trove of newly released documents has raised new questions about ties
between the campaign of Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker and his
former post in county office. Walker served as Milwaukee County
executive while running for governor in the 2010 election. Two of
Walker's aides have been criminally convicted of conducting campaign
business on the taxpayer dime. Documents unsealed Wednesday reveal just
how closely Walker and his aides blurred campaign and official business.
They link Walker to a secret email routing system used by his county
staff and show he directed county staff to hold daily strategy calls
with campaign aides. The revelations come as Walker eyes a potential
presidential bid in 2016.
