So Johnston was not arrested and charged for selling drugs...wait she was...the issue is that it wasn’t done before the election?
I am not getting the hubbub.

I’m with you, what’s actually going on in this case?

The issue is whether the investigation (and presumably the arrest) was held up due to the election.

From the article:

Young wrote that after it became clear who Johnston is, "this case became anything but normal."

"It was not allowed to progress in a normal fashion, the search warrant service WAS delayed because of the pending election and the Mat Su Drug Unit and the case officer were not the ones calling the shots," Young wrote.

And further:
Tension between the governor and the public safety employees union is not new. The union and Palin battled over the governor's July removal of Walt Monegan as public safety commissioner, and the allegations she pressured public safety officials to fire a trooper who was her ex-brother-in-law. Palin appointed Masters as the public safety commissioner in September.

1) ‘Rat union thugs wanted it to hit the fan the week before the election, so that with the energetic aid of the Mediascum this “October surprise” could have brought the Demagogues to the historic landslide they were longing for......

2) Probably more likely that this woman received extra close attention BECAUSE her son was involved with Bristol Palin.

3) How stooopid is this woman to be conducting drug deals when her son and the Palins were thrust into such an intense media spotlight? Is SHE a plant by the Demagogues? I’d like to know the whole history, how long she’s been dealing, was this fall’s activity any different than her previous dealing, etc. Seems awfully incredible that this could have gone on while the Mediascum were swarming all over Wasilla.

4) This DOES NOT REFLECT UPON SARAH AND TODD PALIN IN ANY WAY. There’s not the slightest hint that they ever knew anything about this, or had anything to do with anything. Even if the whole story is as being presented (always a big “if” when dealing with lib-scum media and unions), this has NOTHING to do with Sarah and Todd Palin except that it happens to involve an acquaintance who may or may not (who knows?) become Bristol Palin’s MIL.

"I am not getting the hubbub."

Makes you wonder why investigator Kyle Young waited so long to b*tch about the lack of action. Since Gov. Palin and her husband were being investigated through the whole election period, why hold his tongue until now? This is pure BS.

“So Johnston was not arrested and charged for selling drugs...wait she was:

The police and the prosecuting attorney decide who gets arrested, not the Governor. Some State Troopers evidently have it in for the Governor since that one trooper was forced out.
