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.

There shouldn’t even be an investigation.
Since he served at her pleasure she could have canned him because she didn’t like the way he combed his hair, in fact for no reason at all!
Has he said whether or not he has stopped beating his ex-wife?
“In the mean time the terrorist, racist and corrupt Obama relationships go ignored.”
Yes, this is even more relevant than Lehman Bros., Merrill Lynch, Fannie/Freddie, etc. In the long term. If we HAVE a long term.
For instance, MOST people have heard NO reporting about the public Protest Against Nuclear Iran next week that’s become a political issue - such as Hillary and Palin each being invited - HRC refused because she didn’t want to be there with Palin - so THEN, the Left (Soros/Obama peeps et al), got Palin’s invitation revoked, saying “no politicians can participate.” Although she WANTS to appear (unlike HRC), she’s now “dis-invited”.
Meanwhile, far-leftist (and MAJOR Obama contributor) Penny Pritzker, Hyatt Hotels heiress, has planned a big Reception for Mahmoud Ahmedinejad when he comes to NY to speak at the UN. !!!!!!!!
Here are a couple of good site links with articles on this important subject -

Putin/Venezuela are seriously pow-wowing to plot our demise. On and on and on.
Pelosi/Reid can’t wait to adjourn Congress/Senate for the rest of the year (only recently being back in session) after 5 weeks of “recess”/vacation, without passing even ONE clean energy bill for the People’s sake, putting politics and hatred of GW and Republicans ahead of the good of their country. Shame, shame, shame. Go ahead, Dems/Libs - put politics ahead of country. You/we won’t have EITHER a country OR politics.
America, Pay Attention.
Has he said whether or not he has stopped beating his ex-wife?You mean the wife who failed to obtain a restraining order during a bitter custody battle?
Has ABC once reported the story about Biden’s son?
“They MUST NOT let the public understand where the blame lies. Now more than ever, we need reformers to come in, shine the light on the dirt and clean house.”
Yes, my FRiend - But before the reformers CAN come in (get elected), they must FIRST inform and educate the public where the blame lies.
I think Monegan is still a state employee as well. I came across a .pdf that listed him as a training director or some such. I wasn’t looking at items pertaining to him at the time so I didn’t bother to save it.
I think Monegan is still a state employee as well.Maybe so, I didn't really think to check either. I meant that he's no longer employed in the Alaska DPS.
There was a post on 9/16 saying
“Alaska’s attorney general says state employees subpoenaed in the investigation of Gov. Sarah Palin will not testify. In a letter to the Democratic state senator overseeing the investigation, Attorney General Talis Colberg asks that the subpoenas be withdrawn. He also says the employees will not appear before the investigator unless either the full state Senate or the entire Alaska Legislature votes to compel their testimony.”
What is the issue about them not coming into speak with the Hollis French Democrat hit men with the backing of the AG? Fox never mentioned this when Greta spoke the the guy from the DNC arm Time Mag. It sounded as if they had done something unexpectd or wrong.
I'm trying so hard to not despair over this BLATANT unfairness, but we just get more marginalized by the day :(
