Additional Statement from Statement from Palin Attorney Thomas Van Flein Regarding Legal Fund News Report
"The resolution of the Trust Fund is not final. I have been working with the investigator regarding supplemental information. The matter is still pending. Whatever you have seen was released in violation of law. There has been no Board finding of an ethics violation and there is a detailed legal process to follow before there is a final resolution."

Appears the left wing nits are throwing everything with only a few days remaining. OTOH, let’s hope there is no truth to this latest attack.

Apparently, the fund is to pay off the $500,000 in legal debts she owes. The problem is that it's not a capped thing. Some building contractor for example could throw $250,000 there and then have state business.
It is a pretty ethically difficult area when it comes to legal defense funds.
To: My Favorite Headache
we are talking ethics violation???? with the US pres. not qualified to serve and a liar? ethics?????? get a grip people!!!!
To: My Favorite Headache
Uh...isn’t that what legal defense funds are for?
To: Hildy
I believe that Palin is going to take it to them like no Repub has taken it to the left in decades.
I look forward to it.

No insult to you but this isn’t breaking news. When it happens every week it is recurring news.

The operative word and the misleading word that AP is putting out is “may.”
The word “may” covers the legality of libel but this is a smear pure and simple.

She set up a Legal defense fund because using government funds would be an ethics violation.

Is Alaska the only place where that is illegal?
To: Colvin
Can’t these people eventually be prosecuted for these frivolous attacks?
