He was sure denying it until the emails were released.

Washington Speaking to reporters Friday for the first time since the release of thousands of previously sealed documents, Gov. Scott Walker declined to say whether he knew of or personally used a secret email system in his office when he was Milwaukee County executive.
"The only comment I am going to say about all of this, on all of this, because I am not going through 27,000 pages of stuff, is that a Democratic district attorney looked at all that information and interviews ... and ultimately issued charges against the people that they did and concluded that legal process as of March last year," Walker said. "They didn't find any other action to bring that forward and so that's the end of it. So I am not going to go back and relive all these things."
...
Walker was asked if he would agree to hold a news conference to address the document disclosures, as New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie did when controversy erupted over the closure of lanes heading into the George Washington Bridge.
"No, because I am done," Walker said. "The difference is he (Christie) was just at the beginning of his process. This has been done. Your paper and others have reported on it. You are basically getting a splash because political opponents of mine want to draw attention to something that has already been resolved as of last March."

Sorry, Squatty, it ain't over 'til it's over.
Oh, we don't want to miss the comments section ....
These last few days have been so inspiring! JSOnline rolls out one story after another after another, desperately trying to turn a dead issue into Pearl Harbor just like they did two years ago. Hundreds upon hundreds of lefty posts announce their joy, clutching at straws, clinging to the hope that they can get their power back with junior high level finger-pointing, continuing to reach back four years to an administration that no longer exists. This is inspiring because it shows how effective conservative governance is when it's finally given a chance! The lefties have no policies to criticize, they have no leaders, they have no principles or ideas of their own anymore because it's now been proven that they fail and that big government isn't the answer. Control of the state belongs again to the hard-working taxpayers, not to the public employee union extortionists, not to the big government, big spending debt accumulators, not to the nose-in-the-air Madison academia. Another two years have passed and they still are grasping at the same futile anger, sniveling, and demagoguery. God bless Wisconsin!
If only the media would have had the same voracity over all of the Obama scandals, actual scandals, not ginned up ones like this.
Great answers to reporters acting like wh*res
To paraphrase Democrat paragon of virtue Hillary Clinton, "What difference does it make now?"

100,000 people clogging the capital. Cold weather-- singing in the capital, banging drums. I will never forget it
Walker is a total tool of the Kochs ---who are presently attacking Burke with 1 1/2 million dollars of negative TV ads 10 months ahead of the election

It would be nice if we didn't have immunity for elected Republicans.
