'Troopergate' Panel: Gov. Palin Broke No Law
wcbstv.com ^ | October 11, 2008 | AP

Posted on 10/11/2008 6:32:57 AM PDT by Berlin_Freeper

The chief investigator of an Alaska legislative panel concluded Friday that Governor Sarah Palin broke no laws when she tried to have her former brother-in-law fired as a state trooper. The inquiry looked into her dismissal of Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan, who said he lost his job because he resisted pressure to fire trooper Mike Wooten. However, Palin says Monegan was fired as part of a legitimate budget dispute, and the panel said his firing was lawful.

There has been a constant daily onslaught against Palin since she hit the national political scene. Not one word spoken against Biden, period.

They did a hatchet job on Hillary, buried her and moved on to Palin.

If she were a democrat, there would have been no invstigation.

After all, look at the following.

. Barney Frank runs a male prostitution ring from his DC apartment.

. Barney Frank has a homo love affair with a Fannie Mae exec.

. Chris Dodd gets over $300,000, Obama gets over $200,000, and Schumer gets over $100,000 in gifts from Fannie and Freddie.

. Barney Fwank says outright in hearing in 2004 that there are no problems with Fannie and Freddie.

Not only are there no investigations of wrong doing or corruption, the DemoncRATs, which includes the Media, have successfully pinned all the blame on the Republicans.

Astonishing!

Reiterate: No law was broken.

You would think that Governor Sarah Palin had been caught furtively sneaking a cigarette in the Governor’s mansion, or something.

In the first place, she wouldn’t smoke, or in the second place, do furtive things of any nature in the Governor’s mansion.

Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan was offered an alternate position, as it appeared that HE was insubordinate. As a reminder, the position is filled and the appointee serves “at the pleasure of the Governor”.

Obviously, the Governor was not pleased.

So is the counter to this that Barry used taxpayer money to campaign in Kenya? He clearly broke the law, and Sarah did not - both may have had lapses in judgement, but c’mon - Barry did the dirty deed and got away with it.

The legal analyst on FOX was laughing at the report this morning. Since nothing more will come of this the story will be dead by Monday and anyone who doesn’t follow the news on the weekend (which would most likely be any dunderhead who is undecided still) won’t hear much about it.

It’s not like she gave money to a group committing voter fraud in almost 20 states.

Democrats are trying so hard to make something of this, really trying to do their very best. Mike Wooten is the Son of Hondo Wooten, who lives in St Robert, Missouri, near to where I live. Hondo has been a Sheriff's deputy in St. Robert in the past. He was ousted with the last sheriff, in the last election. Mike Wooten had tasered his own stepson, and he did not deserve to be a deputy. That alone is just too senseless.

What the report said is that the Governor violated a provision of the Alaska Executive Ethics Code. But the report, as far as I’ve seen it, is pretty vague about the particulars.
