Gov. Scott Walker has been subpoenaed to testify in the trial of his former aide, Kelly Rindfleisch.
WKOW-TV in Madison reports that a subpoena has been served on Walker’s attorney, Michael Steinle and was filed with Milwaukee County Judge David Hanscher. The document was submitted to the courts Friday.
Rindfleisch is accused of using county time to complete campaign work for a Republican who lost the lieutenant governor race in 2010, according to the Wisconsin State Journal. Rindfleisch has pleaded not guilty to four felony counts of misconduct in office.
Authorities say Rindfleisch committed misconduct while working her government job as deputy chief of staff for Walker, who was then Milwaukee County executive, WKOW-TV reports.
Rindfleisch is one of five individuals going to trial in fall associated with the ongoing John Doe investigation. The investigation has resulted in 15 felony indictments so far. The first trial is expected to begin Monday.
Barring a last-second plea deal, a jury will be picked to hear the case of 62-year-old Kevin Kavanaugh, who is charged with embezzlement and four counts of theft by fraud, according to WTAQ.com.
IF Moammar did not adequately evaluate his threat threshold when he took occupancy of the state house, he is even dumber than I know him to be. That is usually of paramount importance, especially to someone with his background, to make sure that his office is safe and communications are secure. Additionally, anyone who would setup a wireless router in either a sensitive business or government environment is just asking for the type of jail time Moammar is going to face. I am not in government and we disable/pull both the CD-ROM and USB drives. I am sure that some of your inane questions will be asked by the defense attorneys when Moammar goes to trial, and I am equally sure they will be blown away as whimsical. You see, the main issue here revolves around PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY and Moammar’s lack of it. Either Moammar knew, approved, assisted in this misadventure, in which case you may write to him at a Federal Club Med or he was unaware, blissfully so, could not even manage a basic supervisory capability over his own personal staff, to the point of criminal malfeasance in office, in which case he should be summarily thrown out of office and then still be sent to a Federal Cub Med. I do not know what you defenders call a man that just always seems, no matter what office he holds, to attract a cadre of criminals around him… maybe it is just coincidence… The Godfather had the same sad issues…
Cow, it is possible that someone might not recognize that a router is non-government issue I'll agree. But remember that "no more laptops" comment after the story began to break--that's the remark that made me perk up my ears. That exchange took place on the illegal system. The item that Walker should have recognized is the different email account address. He would have to sign in occasionally at least. The larger issue for me is intent. A few years ago a colleague in the field told me about a group of interns who had installed an illegal router in the workplace. These guys wanted to play games on break. The system installed in the county executive's office wasn't for gaming. There was intent to take taxpayer money paid for county work and use it for partisan campaigning. Not good.

Read the complaint or something. The only thing that makes you sound even more stupid, than spouting your lack of facts, is your constant use of "Moammar".
You didn't even know what office the events allegedly occurred in, yet you expect others to take what you have to say on this topic seriously?
Yeah, sorry about the STATEHOUSE... COUNTY EXECUTIVE might sound a bit better, however, everything else still applies... Routers, WI-FI, Laptops and secret email accounts... really sophisticated NSA operation Moammar had going... had any of these clowns known ANYTHING about SECURITY at all... but what do you expect from someone who can't even finish college... There are so many investigations sourrounding this Moammar Walker buffoon... it is really hard to keep up on all of them... Regarding Moammar... apparently it really does not matter what I call him... you defenders all know who we are discussing...
Considering that I have to explain such a simple thing to you, I'm starting to agree with Greg...
More to your disliking SHOULD be Chris Abele (current CE, who's had staffing issues in addition to pursuing the same course as Walker in terms of taxing and spending, curtailing services, etc. with no complaints from the left whatsoever), who's announced he's going to be asking county employees to kick in more for their health benefits while denying coverage to part timers: http://www.jsonline.com/news/milwaukee/abeles-health-insurance-proposal-draws-criticism-ru75d8s-173194461.html Where's the outrage? Non-existant, apparently. Instead, lets get excited over a Walker subpoena. And you wonder why no one takes you guys seriously.
You need to learn how to read before you post; the Tea Party has a lot of Teabaggers, especially on the Patch... now if that's "kinky sex" you have some very serious personal issues...
That's a little bit harsh, even for Moammar, I'd rather see him handcuffed to Willard or Lyin' Ryan for a year...
Sorry for my error, and for offending you... I talked with my great friend, Bill Maher, late last night and got the Full Monty on just what the Tea Party, as opposed to the word I used in a post actually meant in the world of the sexually elite. Obviously, had I known that – and, I guess I am not the sexually elite – I would not have used that term. Conversely, I am remarkably surprised by religious, conservative folks who’s head explodes when someone uses a swear word [insert your most hated swear word here] and yet have no qualms about sending our bombs, drones, and troops to kill people all over the planet, mostly tanned people, knowing full well that many innocent people are also going to be killed by our troops – collateral damage. These same folks head explodes when you even suggest the elimination of the DEATH PENALTY – disproportionately used, again, on tanned people – in the entire USA. Therefore, do not ever use a swear word [whatever: George Carlin’s famous 7] but kill as many people as you possibly can… that’s a great philosophy, policy, and political party…

Peace, I am very happy to hear that...
There were multiple articles linking Walker to the John Doe over the past years. Barrett even made false accusations during the recall campaign.
