Investigation into Palin Now on Fast Track
ABC ^ | September 5, 2008 | Len Tepper, DNC Hack

Posted on 09/05/2008 11:55:05 AM PDT by TitansAFC

ABC News has exclusively learned that Alaska Senator Hollis French will announce today that he is moving up the release date of his investigation into whether Gov. Sarah Palin abused her office to get the Alaska public safety commissioner, Walt Monegan, fired. The results of the investigation were originally scheduled for release Oct. 31 but will now come almost three weeks earlier, according to sources. The announcement is set for 9 a.m. AKDT time. The Alaska state senator running an investigation of Gov. Palin had accused the McCain campaign of using stall tactics to prevent him from releasing his final report by Oct. 31, four days before the November election. "It's likely to be damaging to the Governor's administration," said Senator Hollis French, a Democrat, appointed the project manager for a bi-partisan State Senate Legislative Counsel Committee investigation. Palin, who has denied any wrongdoing and has said she has nothing to hide, has hired private lawyers to represent her in the matter.

Sounds like another great “Fitzmas” for the dems. Hope they enjoy their lump of coal again.

Re: “It’s likely to be damaging to the Governor’s administration,” said Senator Hollis French, a Democrat

Should read: “I hope to do as much damage as possible before the election because there is no way an empty suit can beat Governor Palin,” said Senator Hollis French, a Democrat

Oh, surprise, surprise. We need to slam these Democrats every time they stick their ugly heads up. These people, the Democrats, show a complete lack of ethics and of scruples. I’ve had enough of their lowlife, low-down political tactics.

Maybe Hollis would enjoy someone doing a little checking on him...

I see. The investigation is not concluded, but ol' Hollis knows exactly how it's going to turn out.

They cannot help themselves.

Hey Hollis, while you are at it, investigate if your candidate for POTUS is really a US citizen.

I haven't been following this story, figuring it was just another made up issue by the press. What's is the worst that will happen to Governor Palin over this issue?

“to launch a mortor round straight up.”

Straight up in his nether parts, I hope.

Hollis French? Hmmmp. Sounds like a real defender of truth, justice and the American way!

From what I’ve read of this business, she made the correct decision.

How about we demand the press look into the Ayers connection. A radio talk show host mentioned that some documents regarding the board they sat on were released last week but no one is paying attention.

Well isn't this oddly phrased. How about this alternative phrasing, which is closer to the truth - "the McCain campaign is attempting to prevent Sen Hollis from using the results of the so-called investigation to affect the outcome of the election."

It is NOT stall tactics.

They are challenging whether the state legislature has jurisdiction to even investigate this.

They don't think the McCain team did their homework regarding this story?

Oh, how I hate the left.
