The results of the investigation into Sarah Palin's firing of Walt Monegan, her Commissioner of Public Safety, are out. (pdf) Here is what Investigator Stephen Branchflower wrote:

As Flap noted in his post on the report, Sarah Palin's abuse of power stems from her INACTION, meaning she did little or nothing to stop her husband Todd from pushing the issue.

However, a sworn affidavit, Todd Palin says Sarah told him to "drop it":

In his sworn statement to legislative investigators, released yesterday, Mr Palin is unapologetic about his efforts to get Mr Wooten fired, but denied his crusade had anything to do with the dismissal of Mr Monegan.

He described his former brother-in-law, Mr Wooten, as a violent, unstable man who threatened the family's safety, used a stun gun on his stepson and unfairly collected disability benefit.

He said he was frustrated that Wooten kept his job and complained to senior officials in his wife's administration. He complained to his wife so much, he said, she told him to drop it.

Although the report also says the actions of the governor were "proper and lawful," the headlines are reading "Palin Abused Power." Or worse, euronews' headline reads: Palin found guilty over ‘Troopergate’ affair.

So what does it all mean? Freeper xzins sums it up best:

Here’s the bottom line: A group of political enemies announced that Governor Palin broke no laws but did things they didn’t like.

Political enemies? But there were 10 Republicans on the team and only five Democrats. You are joking, right?

Not so much.

No, but Branchflower is guilty of abuse of power and it’s sitting right there for all to see.
