milwaukee mayor tom barrett, who lost to walker in the 2012 recall, said he was shocked. i have to admit, my reaction was wow john doe investigators were looking into whether walker's campaign and the club for growth had coordinated illegally. last year, the state supreme court shut down the investigation, saying it found nothing illegal. walker's campaign spokesman sent a statement calling the john doe investigation "baseless." that statement did not provide an explanation for the lead paint issu. does supposed to be secret? yes -- although this one has been leaking from the beginning. theo keith fox six news. milwaukee county d-a john chisholm -- who's one of the john doe prosecutors, -- says it's a crime to leak john doe material. he supports an investigation to find out who did it. republicans are also questioning the leak.

"crowds at minnesota have always been loud the old metrodome was rocking there a few years ago and you gotta withstand that surge of energy that starts. i just talked with their media and i guess that the viking on the motorcycle is not going to be there so it will be a little quieter in pregame but we expect it to be rocking when we are on offense."
