Milwaukee County on Thursday released thousands of pages of documents seized by prosecutors in the first “John Doe” investigation involving Gov. Scott Walker’s county executive office.

The records were requested following the closure of that investigation in 2013. That probe resulted in charges and fines against six former employees and associates of Walker when he was Milwaukee County executive.

The documents released Thursday include emails and other documents from the computers of Walker, former staff members — including chief of staff Tom Nardelli, aide Tim Russell, deputy chief of staff Kelly Rindfleisch and spokeswoman Fran McLaughlin — and others.

Russell and Rindfleisch were convicted of crimes stemming from the investigation. McLaughlin received immunity from prosecution for testifying in that probe. Walker and Nardelli, who died Sept. 1, were not charged.

This batch includes only emails from the public Milwaukee County system and no emails from private accounts exchanged using a secret wireless router that investigators found in the county executive suite. Those are due out at a future date.
