The criminal complaint that documents the email is against Kelly Rindfleisch, Walker's deputy chief of staff while he was Milwaukee County executive. It demonstrates that the story clearly concerned Walker about the activities of his employees.

"This email ... with its reference to no more laptops during the workday, provides an apparent explanation for the drop in Rindfleisch's daytime fundraising activity in the few weeks following Darlene Wink's resignation," the criminal complaint against Rindfleisch states.

Walker's email references a story about Wink, a county employee who resigned after the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel learned she had posted about 70 comments favorable to Walker on the newspaper's website while on the clock. Wink was also charged today and faces two misdemeanor counts of solicitation by a public employee for fundraising activity in a county facility with county equipment.
