WI John Doe Probe: What did Walker Know? When Did He Know It? - The Nation -- John Nichols
Just hours after he delivered a State of the State address that he hoped would set the tone for his campaign to avert a recall election threat, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker was hit with exactly the sort of news that embattled politicians fear most.
Two former aides to Walker -- one of whom was in the employ of his campaign until just days ago -- have been charged with felonies and misdemeanors in the ongoing "John Doe" investigation of wrongdoing by aides, political allies and campaign donors with links to the embattled governor.

The aides charged Thursday were, according to Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm, engaged in fund-raising activities and other political work while working on the staff of Walker when he served as .
Chisholm explains in a 57-page complaint that Russell and the newly-indicted aides established a "secret e-mail 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. It's existence was "never disclosed to county employees outside a closely held group within the Walker administration."

Quite a bit of "fresh meat" in the complaint. Enjoy your steak tartare.
