Scott Walker's Legacy of Double-Dealing for Friends and Donors Revealed in New John Doe Emails

In 2011, prosecutors in the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s office suspected that Scott Walker committed felony misconduct while serving as Milwaukee County Executive due to his direct involvement in a multi-million dollar lease renewal for county offices at a privately held building called the Reuss Federal Plaza.

Newly-released emails, made public as part of a federal lawsuit, reveal crucial details about these bid-rigging allegations originally reported by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in 2012--details that were not known to the public when Walker faced recall, ran for reelection in 2014 or for the White House in 2015.

“The Reuss plaza procurement was one of the most egregious examples of procurement misconduct that I have seen," said Jerome Heer, the head of Milwaukee County's audit department. Heer has thirty-five years of government procurement experience, twenty-eight with the County of Milwaukee.

"In particular, the sharing of information with one 'insider' was unprecedented,” Heer told the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD) publisher of PRwatch.org.

One of the people in this story lives around the corner from me and has to pass my house every morning.

I just bet he is the guy who stole my IMPEACH BUSH.ORG yard signs four times.
