My favorite part of that story so far is the secret email system that was set up in Walker's county executiveoffices in Milwaukee, run out of a router variously reported as from a few to 27 feet from Walker's personal office. Which he, of course, knew nothing about. Chisholm explains in a pair of detailed complaints that Russell and the newly indicted aides established a “secret email system available to and used by select ‘insider’ staffers for both official and unofficial business.” That system was built around a wireless router that was kept in an armoire in the office of Walker’s deputy chief of staff — just a few feet from Walker’s office. Its existence was “never disclosed to county employees outside a closely held group within the Walker administration.” Read more: host.madison.com Well, maybe he knew a little- he seems to have been a bit worried (from huffingtonpost.com ) See, the problem is not that they were doing anything wrong, but that the story got out. It seems that a lot of the email through the secret system has conveniently vanished, though. It's all a joke. Walker has had a lot of trouble with sleazy hires, it's hard to get good help when all your buds make way more money than you do, and you work in podunk Wisconsin. But Wisconsin doesn't have much in the way of major newspapers, so there's not a lot of investigative reporting.
