Wisconsin’s soon-to-be-recalled (I hope) Governor Scott Walker is always in the news, but not for the right reasons. He usually manages to make headlines by trying to do things like obliterate unions, a major source of funding for the Democratic party; or allowing his gang of thugs to publicly treat regular people like dirt; or showing favoritism… more than once; or going so far as to cheat and lie.
In this episode, a bunch of law enforcement officers, including FBI agents, popped in on one of his former top aides, Cynthia A. Archer, his former deputy administration secretary.
If it isn’t one thing, it’s another.
One of the agents had a large camera and two of them were wearing latex gloves. They spent time in the backyard and then went into the house. One also removed a large banker’s box and put it in the truck of a car.
Archer had abruptly quit her job for “personal family matters.” But she had “another politically appointed job under the governor already lined up.”
Walker’s office has deflected questions on Archer to the department she left and to the one to which she is now assigned. [...]
Archer’s departure coincides with a growing John Doe investigation in Milwaukee County, started last year after the disclosure that a Walker staffer at the county had posted political commentary on websites while on her job in the county executive’s office.
In her email Friday, Archer said she was “not involved in any way in the John Doe investigation.”
Stay tuned.
