The chief investigator of the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office, David Budde, testified on November 1, 2010, that Walker himself, as Milwaukee county executive, was illegally using the private communication system that his staff had set up.

Budde was asked under oath: “Did you find any e-mails written by the County Executive himself” on “personal laptops in the County Executive’s Office?”

Budde answered with one word: “Yes.”

Two examples are cited. Both are non-consequential in terms of content, but damning in terms of Walker's use of the secret email system, illustrating that he was campaigning on the County taxpayers dime and knew that his staff members were too.

I have some confidence that the John Doe I investigation would have resulted in charges against Walker if there was a good case to be made, so these probably don't constitute strong enough evidence against Walker to get a conviction. But is that the bar we have set for our Governor? Does he have to be convicted, or indicted, to be judged unfit? Note that the Milwaukee Urinal/Sentinel still has not withdrawn their endorsement of the little slime bucket, I mean, er, the Governer (sic).

I hate to think he will win re-election in November, but in my humble opinion, he will if John Doe II doesn't nail his ass to the wall.
