"The Alaska state trooper at the center of a probe into whether Gov. Sarah Palin abused her power says he has “made mistakes, and I’ve learned from those mistakes.” But in an exclusive interview with us, Mike Wooten, Palin’s former brother-in-law, also denies some of the biggest allegations against him.
Wooten says he has been offered $30,000 to tell his story to a tabloid. The Obama campaign has reached out to the head of his union. And he no longer answers any phone number he doesn’t recognize for fear it is another pesky reporter who wants his story."

What does this mean?
It means they are going to put the screws on the guy to talk...in other words, blackmail, extortion, loss of protection, etc.
It means they want the head of said union to cajole or coerce the trooper into saying something derogatory about Governor Palin.
vaudine
Break his kneecaps if he refuses the deal with the "tabloid?"
FBI investigation, IRS audit, etc.
So when will someone ask nObama about tossing this person under the bus also for reaching out to the union?
Yes. You know the drill.
I sure hope the McCain/Palin campaign is ready for this.
There was an article posted here on FR earlier today where Wooten had good things to say about Sarah Palin; he acknowledged some but not all of his bad acts. I remember it was a CNN link.
It means if you don’t play the game the “Chicago Thug Politics Machine” will take him out!
It means they are digging for dirt. And I hope it means that the American public will hear about that and understand that this is how Obama wins elections.
susie
Liberal thug union tactics 101
The Obama campaign has reached out....what slime the Obama campaign is
LOL< you have to ask the MSM! /S
Consider the damage that tale of fabrication that spawned Roe vs Wade.. Even after the truth was told.. few know it..
It means CNN will never speak of it again.
The point is, this story is NOTHING!
So she put pressure on HER OWN EMPLOYEE to do the right thing, and when he didn’t he wanted him removed from his position.
They filed complaints against this goofy trooper, and he is admitting he “made some mistakes.”
My guess is he doesn’t want all the dirt aired because he will look really bad, and show he was abusive to an extent.
Read the comments at the link. As folks find out just what the nature of Mr. Wooten’s offenses were - tasering an 11 year-old, drinking while on duty in his cruiser, illegally killing game, threatening the life of his father-in-law, to name just a few, people wonder what the fuss is about Gov. Palin.
If the Dems in the Alaska legislature try to tar Gov. Palin with this, it’ll once again backfire on the Dems, including Snob-ama.
Most folks don’t like “police” who abuse their powers and physically violate innocent people. The question folks making comments over at the CNN link are asking is why the pig Wooten is still an Alaska State Trooper.
If he gets drug into the national spotlight he'll end up looking like Mr. Bad Guy. Even if he does damage Palin, his career will be ended also.
The Dems will ruin his life if he doesn't lie.
Either way, his life is screwed if he gets involved in this at a national level.
No, no, they’re just making sure that the union continues to FIGHT for his job.
