ANCHORAGE, Alaska – An independent investigator has found evidence that Gov. Sarah Palin may have violated ethics laws by trading on her position in seeking money for legal fees, in the latest legal distraction for the former vice presidential candidate as she prepares to leave office this week.

The report obtained by The Associated Press says Palin is securing unwarranted benefits and receiving improper gifts through the Alaska Fund Trust, set up by supporters.

Palin is not the President. She does not run Congress. We have more serious problems going on because of those two institutions. Let’s not lose sight of what is going on in our government.

And how about that BJ Clinton and his legal defense fund. Wasn’t it cool how all that worked. It’s not that he solicited funds or anything like that.

State run media, the doom of America.

"...trading on her position in seeking money for legal fees..."

Palin needs to get her chit together and do this RIGHT!

She ought to talk to Bill/Hill and find out the legal way to do this. Didn't both of these criminals find a way to take in legal fund donations?

The more the enemies of America attempt to discredit and destroy Sarah Palin, the more Americans rally behind her.

The same people who are saying she violated ethics laws are the SAME people who Okayed the web site to begin with. We don’t live in America anymore. Now, if you dare speak out against Obama, this is your future. It is sick, and not the America I once knew

To fight off frivolous lawsuits like this one...

Perhaps someone ought to post that video in the Web to discredit Rachael D Oro like the Tea Party people discredited the CNN reporter in April 2009.

Ummmm..., someone is saying that it is unethical for Palin to receive funds from a legal defense fund created for Palin, because Palin is a public figure and she is “using” that “public figure status” in order to raise the funds... LOL...

Some liberals sure have weird ideas... :-)

ALASKA FUND TRUST
OFFICIAL SITE FOR SARAH'S DEFENSE
TAKES DONATIONS AS SMALL AS $5

For the record, I have donated $50...my second donation coming today after I saw the story about the junior high harassment tactics being partially successful against her.

HA. Take that libs--you just put more $$ in Sarah's pocket.

An ordinary citizen facing legal charges is not likely to be able to generate donations to a legal defense fund, he wrote. "In contrast, Governor Palin is able to generate donations because of the fact that she is a public official and a public figure. Were it not for the fact that she is governor and a national political figure, it is unlikely that many citizens would donate money to her legal defense fund."

So where were these idiots when Bill Clinton was raising millions in his defense fund?
