Exclusive: New Doubts Over Palin's Troopergate Claims
Internal Government Document Contradicts Sarah Palin, Campaign
By JUSTIN ROOD
September 19, 2008
An internal government document obtained by ABC News appears to contradict Sarah Palin's most recent explanation for why she fired her public safety chief, the move which prompted the now-contested state probe into "Troopergate."
Fighting back against allegations she may have fired her then-Public Safety Commissioner, Walt Monegan, for refusing to go along with a personal vendetta, Palin on Monday argued in a legal filing that she fired Monegan because he had a "rogue mentality" and was bucking her administration's directives.
"The last straw," her lawyer argued, came when he planned a trip to Washington, D.C., to seek federal funds for an aggressive anti-sexual-violence program. The project, expected to cost from $10 million to $20 million a year for five years, would have been the first of its kind in Alaska, which leads the nation in reported forcible rape.

Keep digging, ABC. Total insignificance can’t be too much deeper.

What a friggin’ joke. It looks like the Chief of Staff was rubber stamping practically blank request forms. It does not prove the governor approved or wanted this clown running off to Washington.

So the guy that threatened to kill his wife (and already had broken her arm--but it was just tickling) is claiming the real reason he was fired was because he did not fire a trooper that threatened to kill Palins father (after tasering Palins nephew).
Sounds like a winner.

They just won’t let this non-story die, and yet you never see ANYTHING on Obama’s connections to Rezko, Ayers, etc. The MSM is a total disgrace.

This is called a leak. A criminal leak in fact. Oh goody, now we can have another stupid investigation while Americas financial markets melt down. ABC is a joke.

Exactly, imagine all the real women (not liberal women who are NOT real women) who can relate to a husband beating up on his wife and kids, I am sure they won’t be siding with THAT loser over Palin.

Oh gosh, it’s beginning to look like the 15th story on Chris Dodd’s sweetheart mortgage deal.
What, they didn’t dig into that actual bit of wrongdoing and dog him mercilessly????
And they really need to lay off Leahy for revealing classified information. I mean, that was so long ago.
I could go on with this.
