ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) -- Alaska's attorney general is investigating whether a former aide of Sarah Palin wrongly used email messages between her and staffers as the basis of a book critical of the ex-governor and former vice presidential candidate, the Anchorage Daily News reported Tuesday.

The book by Frank Bailey is due to be released May 24.

The probe was initiated following an ethics complaint lodged by Anchorage resident Andree McLeod last September.

WE need to change the laws so the Dem operatives pay the cost of these non stop phony inquiries and the Media can be sued for these hit pieces !

I'm not sure what this is about.

It sounds like they're not investigating Palin. It sounds like they're investigating an aide to Palin who took emails from Palin to her staff and used them in a hit-piece book.

Hmmmm....seems they are after the author of a book critical of Sarah who abused the éthics vs Sarah being in trouble.

Maybe I’m reading it wrong....?

Seems like this ethics complaint is not against Sarah, but against one of her former aides. He used e-mails that were part of the correspondence in her office, while she was Governor, in his new book.

McLeod isn't a friend of Sarah's, so I have no idea why she would file a complaint against someone who was writing a book critical of Sarah.

Right. They’re going after the staffer for sharing otherwise confidential emails.

Note, though, where the ethics complaint came from:

The probe was initiated following an ethics complaint lodged by Anchorage resident Andree McLeod last September.

Ms. McLeod previously filed six ethics complaints against Gov. Palin -- so I rather doubt the target is anybody other than Palin.

Back in September she didn't know it was going to be a critical book.
