[[The Center for Media and Democracy]] previously reported on Walker's secret email system that he used for campaigning for Governor while working as county executive in Milwaukee [http://www.prwatch.org/news/2012/01/11264/secret-email-system-revealed-john-doe-probe-walker-staff here]. "On county time, the staffers allegedly communicated extensively with Walker campaign staff, organized fundraisers, made invitations, exchanged fundraising lists and sent out campaign press releases" using the private email network.<ref> Mary Bottari, [http://www.prwatch.org/news/2012/01/11264/secret-email-system-revealed-john-doe-probe-walker-staff Secret Email System Revealed in "John Doe" Probe of Walker Staff], ''PR Watch'', January 27, 2012.</ref> As Walker accuses Clinton of doing, his campaign used the private network (set up in an armoire) for his personal interest.

:"It’s a logical assumption that the secretary of state is talking about highly confidential classified information. How can she ensure that that information wasn’t compromised?" Walker told ''The Weekly Standard'' following an event with supporters in Des Moines. "I think that’s the bigger issue—is the audacity to think that someone would put their personal interest above classified, confidential, highly sensitive information that’s not only important to her but to the United States of America. I think is an outrage that Democrats as well as Republicans should be concerned about.”<ref name="ws"/>
"This is the ultimate glass house for the governor," said state Rep. Mandela Barnes (D-Milwaukee). "I can't see how the governor can make any kind of comment on Hillary Clinton's emails."<ref name="w2"/>
