Walker, WI Governor, Eyed in Corruption Probe after FBI Raid

Scott Walker, Wisconsin Governor, Eyed In Corruption Probe After FBI Raid On Cynthia Archer's Home

MILWAUKEE — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said Friday all he knows about FBI agents seizing items from the home of one of his top agency officials is what he's seen in the media and that his office has not been told anything about the raid.

The first-term governor said "it's hard to tell" whether he should be concerned about Wednesday's raid on the home of Cynthia Archer, who was his aide while Milwaukee County executive and followed him to work in state government when he was elected governor.

"We don't know what exactly is involved," Walker said Friday when asked about the raid following an unrelated event in Milwaukee.

"Until we know, obviously it's a concern but again, I don't know any more details than what I've seen reported in the media outlets around the state," he added.

The raid came amid a secret Milwaukee County investigation that the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, citing unnamed people familiar with the case, has reported focuses on whether county staffers in Walker's office did political work on the taxpayer dime.

Walker said he has not been in touch with Archer.

Archer told The Associated Press on Thursday that she has done nothing wrong and hasn't been told whether she is part of the ongoing investigation. When asked what kinds of items were taken from her home, she said law enforcement officials had given her strict orders not to comment further.

Archer's neighbor, Dale Riechers, said FBI agents also came to his home and took a hard drive from an old computer he bought from Archer at a garage sale a few weeks ago.

Well, golly...It just gets better and better... Stay tuned as the plot thickens...

What was that thread awhile back? "They Can't Win Without Cheating"? And January isn't that far off...

Well, I guess the FBI didn't take archer's computer because it looks like she's still posting! lol

Like the e-trade baby in the crib? Nobody knows... :woo hoo:

So the FBI now has the ability to restrict the free speech of people? Where did this power come from I wonder?

FBI has been doing lots of raids lately. I wonder when they are going to raid the White House...the Crook in Chief.

Maybe when they are done with your house?

Oh yeah, I started a solar company.

Let us know when this becomes a real story.

An FBI investigation involving corruption near a prominent Republican is not a "real story"?
