Is Scott Walker John Doe? - - The Center for Media and Democracy
Edited on Sun Sep-25-11 03:31 PM by Ellipsis
There are some emails posted from the FOI request, otherwise not much new here. I just had to post it for the heading.

Wisconsin was riveted the week of September 20 by reports that more of Governor Scott Walker's top aides may be implicated in an ongoing "John Doe" investigation into potentially illegal campaign practices related to Walker's 2010 gubernatorial race. Although the investigation, first reported on by Dan Bice of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, has been underway for at least a year, a recent FBI raid on the home of Walker's chief lieutenant, Cynthia "Cindy" Archer, has the state abuzz with speculation about who may be the target of the investigation.

The emails reveal an administration well aware that by introducing the collective bargaining bill they would be "dropping a bomb" in the state. Archer, along with a few key political personnel, was deeply involved with preparing the governor's union-busting policy and organizing the "contingency planning" for protests and other actions. The emails also reveal how important a role Archer played in the administration.
