EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WEAU) -- More troubles could be piling up for Governor Scott Walker.

Wisconsin Democratic Party Chair Mike Tate and Milwaukee County Supervisor John Weishan spoke at the Eau Claire County Democratic Party Headquarters on Thursday morning about the “John Doe” investigation.

Tate said the investigation by the Milwaukee County District Attorney and the FBI has uncovered two serious matters in areas that Walker oversaw in his time as Milwaukee County Executive.

“They include stealing of funds provided for children of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans. Scott walker put someone in charge who embezzled from it. We’ve seen his closest aides who sat 20 feet from his county office spent their whole job trying to get him elected,” Tate said.

Democrats say there is a smoking gun that Walker knew his employees were using the public’s dime to get him elected governor.

They said it’s an e-mail Walker sent about staff member Darlene Wink.

She’s one of five already charged in the federal investigation.

“It says ‘Hey, we can’t have another story like this, let’s not give them another opportunity to come after us," Tate said.

Democrats say this investigation into the republican governor will add fuel to the fire of a possible recall election against him.

But the Chair of the Eau Claire County Republican Party said there hasn’t been enough evidence to link Walker to the alleged criminal activity.

“For the democrats, nothing's off limits. They're trying to get people to see smoke regardless of whether or not there's a fire," Westrate said.

Westrate said the laws about employees doing personal tasks on government time may not be realistic in our internet culture.

"The law may at this point be a little bit anachronistic to the way the world actually works now," Westrate said.

John Weishan, a County Supervisor from Milwaukee County’s 16th District, said the Milwaukee County District Attorney is still perusing the investigation.

“I think that's very interesting because that means in the future there could be more possibility that other people could be charged,” Weishan said.
