Troopergate Verdict-Palin did NO WRONG
| Mon, 11-03-2008 - 7:56pm |
An independent review of the case (read that no political axes to grind) has found that Sarah Palin did NOT violate any ethics laws or any other laws in the case involving her brother in law and the firing of the Public Service Commissioner.
I'd say I hate to say I told you so, but I don't.

An earlier investigation launched by the state Legislature concluded Palin violated state ethics law by trying to get Wooten fired. The law bars public officials from pursuing personal interest through official action
and
There is no probable cause to believe that the governor, or any other state official, violated the Alaska Executive Ethics Act in connection with these matters," Timothy Petumenos, the Anchorage lawyer hired to conduct the investigation, wrote in his final report
ETHICS VIOLATIONS, as in
Sandy, the point is is that Palin was found to not have violated the Ethics laws in Alaska.
Here is the truth melanie230. It's a split decision. One investigation found her guilty of ethics violations. The more recent one, suspiciously literally on the eve of the election, did not. Hmmmm.
"The conclusion by an independent investigator for the state Personnel Board contradicts a determination last month of an inquiry by the Alaska Legislature that Ms. Palin had breached the ethics act by pressing to have the trooper, Michael Wooten, dismissed. That investigation found, however, that the governor was within her right to fire her public safety commissioner, Walt Monegan."
"In an interview on Monday night, he said: “Obviously I’m disappointed with the outcome and the contradictory nature of this investigation, compared to the first one.”
“It’s not only me. There were senior members of the department of public safety who got the calls, felt the pressure and knew exactly what was going on,” Mr. Monegan said. “I will always feel that there were conversations and e-mails that were intended to inappropriately use an official government position to settle a family matter.”"
