ANCHORAGE, Alaska The lawyer for Gov. Sarah Palin's husband fired back at Alaska state senators Saturday, disputing that Todd Palin and others "ignored" subpoenas issued last fall during the Troopergate investigation of the governor.
Attorney Thomas V. Van Flein said that immediately after a judge's decision refusing to intervene, all subpoenaed witnesses, including Todd Palin, filed detailed written responses to lawmakers.
"These are not the actions of contemptuous witnesses, rather, they reflect a studied and deliberate invocation of law and due process, and in accord with the rule of law, once the court issued its decision, the parties then responded in full to the subpoena," Van Flein wrote in a letter to state Sen. Hollis French, D-Anchorage.

These rats just won’t give up.
The vote was 16-1. Establishment Republicans are just as big a problem up there.
French and his ‘RATS got their boy “elected.” They now want their “trooper” fiasco to go away. Todd Palin now needs to line up his lawyers to go after THEM. Start with the “media” rags like the Nat’l Enquirer.
The next ‘real’ conservative party will start with a 1-2 punch....a point by point response to dinosaur ‘Palin Derangement Syndrome’ stories, and a legal defense fund to back it up. RINOs have accepted the rope they continue to hang themselves with (dangling participle intended).
