Levi-Bristol custody fight over Palin grandchild will be public
Miami Herald ^ | December 29, 2009 | Lisa Dehmer

Posted on 12/29/2009 6:12:13 AM PST by chickadee

"Johnston fought to allow the custody matter to unfold in public, saying in a sworn statement that doing so would help put everyone on best behavior. He noted that Van Flein also represents Sarah Palin.

"I know that public scrutiny will simplify this matter and act as a check against anyone's need to be overly vindictive, aggressive or malicious, not that Bristol would ever be that way, nor that I would. But her mother is powerful, politically ambitious and has a reputation for being extremely vindictive," Johnston said in his affidavit. "So, I think a public case might go a long way in reducing Sarah Palin's instinct to attack."

Johnston said he didn't want to hurt or embarrass his son -- or Bristol. He thinks Sarah Palin, not Bristol, is acting with "sheer malice," Butler wrote in a court filing.

"He feels Sarah Palin, through her lawyer, under the guise of Bristol Palin's name, would run roughshod over his very bones," Butler wrote."

I guess this is what you expect from a guy that takes advice from Jon Gosselin and thinks that Gosselin is “a great guy.”

You’ve said it all, chickadee.

It is what it is: politically motivated against Sarah Palin.

My prediction: another win for the Palin family.

Levi, aka Rock Hollywood and his handlers have gone too far. They’ve now made Bristol and her baby the sympathetic characters in this charade.

Sadly it doesn't matter to these Socialist destroyers. It is about getting this televised live on that seedy law channel if it still is on cable, just to paint the Palin's once again as white trailer park trash as they have been trying to do for the last two years.

Bristol attorney can request another judge. Family law cases are done in private for the benefit of the child.

Intercessors will be praying for Bristol, the child and the entire Palin family.

Bob J,
every thing that comes out of your mouth sounds like it comes from the mouth of Levy.

What an @$$ this little twit is. I want to know who is paying him to be this way? Some group needs to send a PI out to track his every move and find out. I don’t think he has a chance of getting custody sincehe hasn’t been in Alaska for what about a year now and given his white trash family background but you never know with judges.

Nothing to fear = no reason to pay. As Al B said earlier if Johnson’s got any provable dirt on Gov Palin he would have got 30 pieces of silver for it long ago. He’s not a discplined individual as his actions to date clearly illustrate. Time for him to put up or shut up.

That channel and those people are never going to like Sarah or change their minds about her, just like we’re never going to change our minds about their hero Obama.

I am speaking to the larger electorate that matters. Sarah’s family is well known, and Levi’s is rather notorious for his felon mother’s drug addiction and his own PlayGirl “modeling.”

Let the court record show that Bristol is pursuing her education and he is NOT, let the court record show his source(s) of income and those of his family. It’ll take a court order to bring his mother into court since she is doing the remainder of her prison sentence at home.

He wants a public display. I think he’ll rue the day. Sarah Palin won’t.

You know what is glaringly missing from all this BS? The vindictive words of Sarah Palin. Where are they? I haven’t seen any. What interview did she give that went over the top?

Seriously, this is a case of the pot trying to make a fire.

Good luck with that Levi. I hope you lose everything. You deserve it.

Palin should have paid this guy off long ago, make him go away.

And had she done that, you'd be attacker her for doing such, Bob.

Here's a hint - if you want other freepers to listen to you, start being more objective on the subject of Sarah Palin yourself. Right now, you come off like a two-bit David Frum.

No, I got the right debate. There is a disconnect between what she wrote and what actually happened. I actually think what she really said is better than what she wrote.

I want as much about her to be known as possible...the good, the bad and if there is any, the ugly. Then we can decide.

Van Flein, in his court filing on behalf of Bristol, said that Levi to date has supplied less than 1% of Tripp's support.

The punk can grandstand all he wants. The truth is about to come out on him. Unfortunately, it's to the child's detriment. Sad. This should be kept private for the child's benefit.

I'm wondering if they can't get a look at his bank account, to see who is funding him. Who is paying for his lawyers?

Good question. Can he be compelled to provide that information, especially since his finances will be an issue (Bristle is requesting child-support)?

It is clearly the right one. Palin acquits herself well but her version in the book of what happened is not accurate. Make of that what you will.

She approved the quote for the book.
