Sarah Palin: GUILTY of Abuse of Power

Sarah did it! The standing Governor of Alaska is found Guilty of Abuse of Power by letting First Dude have so much access to state information, state employees, and making over 19 calls to pressure a state official to fire her BIL out of revenge. It was unlawful, but no charges??

I knew it. She did it as Mayor and got away with it. The McCain camp is making excuses as usual, instead of taking responsibility for her/their actions. Details will be released soon.

"No, dear". It's amazing to me how many Democrat men patronize women. Who are you, Joe Biden?

((Yes...it's already been pointed out the the heads of the investigation are known Obama supporters and that the investigator himself is a friend of Monegan.))

Palin tried to move her "investigation" to a panel that she is responsible for hiring and firing them. Partisanship is how Palin governs. She is known for appointing her H.S. friends to key gov't positions, whether they are qualified or not. Do you really think that a person that practices these "old school politics" should have control of the WH again? I don't.

Palin divided people in the GOP and state legislation instead of looking for common ground to solve the problem of cronyism and corruption. She is learning how burning her political bridges does not benefit her. Apparent.y, she does not disagree with people on a mature and constructive level, and it is biting her in the butt. ...as witnessed by the treatment of her BIL and the firing of Monegan.

She ignored a judge's order to stop harassing him for goodness sake. If she was not guilty, they would have reported that. The evidence must have been overwhelming for them to find her guilty. Sarah is out of control when given the power to wield like a sword. Bush43 was enough.

You realize that you are beating your head against an in-denial republican brick wall, don't you?

No, incorrect again: NO source says the vote was not unanimous, only that there "was some dissension." There may very well have been some dissension in the debate about whether to release the findings, and still have been the unanimous vote that the Times and other sources indicate. If you have a link to a source which explicitly says that the VOTE ITSELF was not unanimous, please post it.

I say "dear" just to yank your chain.

The whole "part of the report" bit is a red herring, as well: the reasons for dividing the report into sections was made quite clear in the section of the report that was released. It was never intended to be any different than it ended up being: there was a good amount of sensitive personnel data which was collected by investigators during the investigation which, by law, cannot be released to the public. But the material conversations and evidence is presented in the portion of the report which was released. I'll let the report itself explain:

(pages 5 and 6):

"Alaska law provides that personnel records and related information is confidential and may be disclosed only under well defined and narrow circumstances. The following two statutes apply to this report.....

Certain portions of this report contain highly confidential personnel information and may not be released or discussed with unauthorized persons by law. For that reason, and also because the specific terms of my contract with the Legislative Council require me to do so, I have divided the report into two volumes, which I have labeled "Volume One" and "Volume Two."

Volume One contains the public portion of the report. It is free of confidential information either because the information is not confidential as a matter of law, or, if it was confidential at one time, the confidential nature of the information has been waived by Trooper Michael Wooten when he released the information to the public, or, the confidential nature of the information has been explicitly waived by Trooper Wooten in writing with the advice and consent of his attorney. Certain portions of Volume One have been redacted to exclude confidential information. Additionally, Volume One contains only excerpts of transcripts of the testimony of the witnesses. Neither the transcripts nor the exhibits/attachments referred to in the testimony have been included because they may contain discussions about confidential material. I have made an effort to balance the legal requirement to preserve confidentiality against the public's right to information about the functioning of government and have redacted as little as possible. Volume Two contains the entire report, and has been released only to the Legislative Council."

-------------

In other words, "Volume Two" contains the entire report, complete with personally identifying and restricted information; Volume One contains the findings, the course of the investigation and the reasoning behind it, leaving out only personal information which is restricted by law.

Try again.

LOL! The Dems wouldn't know the meaning of impropriety if they tripped over it....and they often do. Honesty and integrity are hardly mantras of the party. It's amazing that these buffoons would even try a stunt like this...and yet, the proof is in the pudding...heads.
