“All of them are equally well explained by legitimate concerns that Wooten was a potential threat to the Palin family (having already made death threats against Gov. Palin’s father) and/or an embarrassment to the Alaska Department of Public Safety and the entire state law enforcement community.”
Getting rid of this trooper would benefit the state anyway, so this is perfectly in line with serving the public interest.
This report is an outrage. The investigation was a partisan witchhunt of the most egregious kind.
You know, if Palin isn’t elected VP it means she’ll be returning to Juneau as Governor. Paybacks can get messy.
If I was a member of that investigating committee, I’d be damned hopeful McCain/Palin makes it into the White House.
