Troopergate Report: Palin Abused Power


abcnews.go.com
Sarah Palin abused her power when she fired her Public Safety Commissioner this July, a state investigation has concluded.

The Alaska legislature voted to release the several hundred page report on the "Troopergate" scandal, a state kerfuffle which has come to haunt Gov. Sarah Palin's vice presidential bid. The scandal centered around her firing of Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan. Monegan and others believed Palin fired him because he refused to take action against Mike Wooten, a state trooper under him who had been involved in a messy divorce with Palin's sister, Molly.

More excerpts


“Governor Palin’s firing of Commissioner Monegan was a proper and lawful exercise of her constitutional and statutory authority to hire and fire executive branch department heads.”

This is old news because the conclusions were politically motivated and announced before the investigate ever started.

If the democratic party wants to stand by a wife beater, that's fine with me.

Please provide a link to the news coverage of this report being released prior to tonight? I would hate to be posting non-breaking news in the breaking news forum!
Thanks for your assistance!

"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 of claims that Palin abused her office to get the Alaska public safety commissioner, Walt Monegan, fired.

Palin, who has denied any wrongdoing and has said she has nothing to hide, has hired private lawyers to represent her in the matter. "

Okay. That article from Sept 2nd
(which, incidentally, also mentions that "The Alaska state senator running an investigation of Gov. Palin says the McCain campaign is using stall tactics to prevent him from releasing his final report by Oct. 31, four days before the November election.")
is talking about the ongoing investigation.

It doesn't release the final results of the investigation. It doesn't provide the complete report of the investigation.
That information was released less than an hour ago, and that's the news that is being discussed in this thread.

Ergo, this is not "old news." I'm sorry if it's news you don't like or don't agree with, but it is not "old news."

Yes it old news because the conclusion were arrived at before the report was release. But, that doesn't matter to obamatrons.
