Scott Walker Has Smoking 50-caliber As Emails Network Administrator Comes Forward

The release of some 27,000 emails from the secret e-mail system used by Scott Walker and his Milwaukee County and campaign staff should put to rest the myth that Scott Walker didn't know of or Scott Walker has not been part of the system on which Walker and his most trusted County and campaign aides communicated.

No smoking gun, say some observers.

Now comes late-breaking news from Matthew DeFour in the Wisconsin State Journal:
Gov. Scott Walker's Milwaukee County executive office was using a secret Internet system as early as 2002, according to a former county administrator who said he helped set up the network.

That's several years earlier than prosecutors disclosed in a complaint against one of Walker's former aides who was convicted of using a secret system to campaign on the taxpayers' dime.

Milwaukee County human resources assistant director Bob Kiefert said he was called into Walker's office in 2002 by then-deputy chief of staff Tim Russell. Kiefert showed Russell how to set up a hard-wired Internet connection using a DSL modem and a telephone line. The network allowed county executive staff to send and receive emails and surf the Web outside the public system set up by the county's Information Management Services Division in 1998.
Kiefert first disclosed the story in a piece in the Green Bay Progressive.
