The man overseeing the investigation, Sen. Hollis French, is the bald guy near the back (fifth from left, by the Obama 08 posters). Any doubts about this hacks objectivity yet?
Well, it gets better. Last week, for obvious reasons, Rep. John Coghill asked the Alaska Legislative Council to remove French from the probe. Coghills request was rejected:
On Monday, the head of the Legislative Council turned down his request. Democratic Sen. Kim Elton responded that he is sure that partisan politics can be kept out of the probe.
You know whats coming, right? Senator Elton is also in the picture. Hes the tall bearded guy on the far left (ahem) of the photo. His Alaska State Legislature web page can be found here.
So, there it is. The guy overseeing the troopergate investigation and the man charged with keeping him honest are both proud Obama partisans. If ever there was a put up job, folks, this is it.
(hat tip to Catron)
I’ve also found that Stephen Branchflower, the retired DA in charge, is a longtime friend of Monegan.
Can you email that photo to Rush et al?
