The report was just released. Palin was found guilty of misconduct and violating public trust in the Troopergate case. They also mentioned the emails and charging the tax payers for sleeping at her own house.

Well, it was stated that she was guilty of "abusing her power" but that nothing she did was actually against the law.


Still, let's talk about how this actually reflects on her character!

You know, if I was in the same situation as the Palin family, I probably would have done the same thing that they did to get the bil trooper fired if half of what he was reported to do was true.


The main difference would be that I would have blinked and turned down the invitation to be vp.

The trooper was abusing his power when he threatened Sarah Palin's family, stunned his 10 or 12 year old stepson, shot moose illegally.

The commissioner actually wasn't fired, he was demoted. And the BIL's offenses were investigated and punished - evidently they weren't considered fire-able offenses.

I've heard that he was fired from so many people. Oh, well.

If she was found guilty, why was there no recommendation of prosecution?

But, but, but...it's not her *fault,* of course:

I'm smelling something but it certainly isn't the perfume of personal responsibility.

They did mention later that it would be up to the prosecutor of Alaska
