Former Walker aide sentenced in ‘John Doe’ investigation

Former aide to Gov. Scott Walker Kelly M. Rindfleisch was sentenced to three months in jail and three years’ probation Monday for illegal campaigning on behalf of Walker in 2010, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Rindfleisch pleaded guilty to felony misconduct in October after being accused of conducting campaign business using a secret computer system while working for then County Executive Walker at his Milwaukee office.

During sentencing, Assistant District Attorney Bruce Landgraf presented emails between Rindfleisch and members of Walker’s campaign staff that were gathered during a “John Doe” investigation in which investigators took computers from Rindfleisch’s home and office.

Landgraf said Walker was among those who exchanged campaign emails, but the investigation did not target him.
