Report: Palin abused power, broke no laws in trooper case

CNN SAYS SHE BROKE NO LAWS

Uhhh..that's not what the report says, from my layman's reading. It seems to claim that she violated a statute of the state of Alaska:

Title 39. Public Officers and Employees
  Chapter 52. Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act
    Section 110. Scope of Code.

From the actual report:

Governor Palin’s firing of Commissioner Monegan was a proper and lawful exercise of her constitutional and statutory authority to hire and fire executive branch department heads.

They simply referenced the laws in which the findings where based. The end result finding is what is stated above.

The opinion of the investigator was that she violated some ethical statutes, but that she did not violate the law in firing him. She could fire him just because she woke up cranky that morning. That is her right.

She said,he said. She says she was within her rights to can him.
