Investigator: Palin May Have Violated Ethics Laws An independent investigator has found evidence that Gov. Sarah Palin may have violated ethics laws by accepting private donations to pay her legal debts.
"All options are open in terms of legal remedies. It is a clear violation of Alaska law that Mr. Daniel explicitly reviewed with Ms. Chatman prior to her illegal actions. We will be contacting the appropriate authorities for review and action."
Thomas Van Flein Private Attorney for Sarah Palin
More:
"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."

They are being controlled by the demons of hell
I may have found evidence that I may have found evidence
What bs
If I had to go through 5 percent of the emotional hell that she has had to go through I’d be in the looney bin right now yelling yabba dabba doo. This is more then just harassment. This is emotional abuse beyond anything I have ever seen
Have I got this right?
I hope so..and we need to have her back...that’s all there is to it.
The link went haywire after I posted it...check my follow-up post, which does work.
Why don’t we start an organized effort to do the same thing to Democrats?
LOL! They're not overdue. Those are the ones she banned :-P
Pretty much. If that doesn’t prove this is more about party politics than true ethics issues, I don’t know what does.

McNeil, Daniel awarded AFN’s top honors for their contributions
Fairbanks Daily News-Miner (AK) - Saturday, October 27, 2007
Author: Stefan Milkowski ; smilkowski@newsminer.com
Friday’s agenda for the Alaska Federation of Natives convention covered two pages and included more than 20 events and dozens of speakers. And that’s only a fraction of what goes on at AFN, which continues today. Here are a few highlights.
McNeil, Daniel honored
The Alaska Federation of Natives on Friday honored Sealaska Corp. president Chris McNeil and AFN counsel Carol Daniel with two annual awards.
McNeil, a Tlingit originally from Juneau, was given the AFN Citizen of the Year Award. Before joining Sealaska, McNeil served as chairman of the Native American Rights Fund, director of American Indian programs at Stanford University, and director of Goldbelt Inc., and held a number of other leadership positions.
He has been a supporter of Native causes for more than 30 years, and has been a “tireless advocate” for ensuring the voices of Natives are heard, said AFN co-chair Tim Towarak.
In a short speech, McNeil stressed the need for Native corporations to think about improving their communities and not just making a profit.
“In a sense, none of it is quite worth it unless we have healthy future generations,” he said.
Daniel was given the AFN Denali Award, which is given each year to a non-Native who has contributed to the Native community.
Daniel started practicing law in 1985 and worked for the Alaska Legal Services Corp. for more than a decade. She has served as AFN’s in-house counsel since 2000 and represented a number of other Native groups.
AFN Co-chair Albert Kookesh, a state senator, described her key role in a number of cases important to Alaska Natives, and praised her for late nights spent at work.
“We really appreciate you,” said AFN president Julie Kitka, “as an individual and Native advocate.”
Daniel was literally speechless.

No on Pebble
The prospects of a major mine near Lake Iliamna in Southwest Alaska has been a hot topic of late among Native communities. Gov. Sarah Palin on Thursday didn’t mention the Pebble deposit by name, but urged AFN attendees to give the state’s permitting process a chance to work.
On Thursday and Friday, anti-Pebble items showed up in many forms. There were anti-Pebble buttons, big stickers, and even balloons.
Now I know what it must be like to live in Iran. If you speak out against their Government, your either killed or destroyed. Welcome to the New America. I never thought that this would happen to my country, where a human being can be destroyed because she has the GUTS to speak her mind against what is happening to our country. Where are the complaints against Jindal, Pawlenty, any other Republican Governor, NO, they are ONLY after Sarah Palin, that says more then anything else
Really?
I know in practice now Presidents seem to be exempt from all laws (even murder!), but when do you think they became exempt from State law? What was the instrument that granted this exemption?
ML/NJ
Yes, it is. The abuse heaped on her children is worst of all. The relentlessness of it would be difficult to bear if not for her character and core beliefs.
They think we are all too stupid to figure it out or to realize they have gone so far overboard it has almost become funny instead of most of us (paying attention) taking it serious.

I just found out that this Thomas Daniel’s law firm has worked for Obama.
They'll be exempt from state laws with respect to campaign contributions that they relieve for the federal elections - which is the subject matter we're discussing. State laws or lawmakers cannot supersede or intervene in federal election's law. It's a simple as that. To imply that Bill Clinton broke Alaska state law when he created legal defense funds is at best laughable.
What, you serious. find the evidence, I will send it to Sarah’s twitter page
