FBI at home of former top aide to Gov. Walker

Madison - At least four FBI agents visited the home of a former top aide to Gov. Scott Walker.

The home on Dunning St. on Madison's east side is listed in City of Madison property records as belonging to Cynthia A. Archer, the former deputy administration secretary to the Republican governor.

One of the agents had a large camera and two of them were wearing latex gloves. They spent time in the backyard and then went into the house. One also removed a large banker's box and put it in the truck of a car.

Archer, who abruptly left her top post with the Walker's administration last month for "personal family matters," had another politically appointed job under the governor already lined up. She took a $25,000 pay cut in moving to a position at the Department of Children and Families, but the nearly $100,000 salary in that job is still tens of thousands of dollars more than the pay of others who have had the job. State officials have said Archer remained on leave. Department spokeswoman Stephanie Hayden has not answered whether Archer was being paid while on leave, saying that was confidential. Archer, 52, followed Walker to Madison from Milwaukee County after the former county executive won the governor's race in November. She had held the county's top staff position under Walker.

There's a lot of red flags here.

2. Well,

it's the FBI. This little stuff about the John Doe seems way below their league.

Bribery? Corruption? Coordination with political entities? Election law? Not sure.

9. Story has been updated.

It makes a strong implication that she is now a subject of the John Doe investigation that relates to county staffers' use of county computers to promote Walker on political Web sites while they were working for Walker when he was Milwaukee County Executive.

I guess this John Doe is more serious than I thought.

..."One of the agents had a large camera and two of them were wearing latex gloves.
They spent time in the backyard and then went into the house. One also removed a large banker's box and put it in the truck of a car." Just wow!

This is like a script from some B movie! Hmmm...

A LARGE bankers box...?(As opposed to a small one...?)
Maybe, something buried in the back yard...? Interesting!:evilgrin:

We're going to need plenty of popcorn for this one!:popcorn:

8. Is anyone surprised?

Nice to see Walker's corrupt cronies getting "tens of thousand" dollar raises on the backs of teachers.
