Trooper’gate latest expected news - Todd Palin refuses to testify

You can always count on that “Marine” Hollis French and little Kimmy Elton, along with Steve “My wife is a Monegan boot licker” Branchflower to keep their inquiry above board.

Ofcourse the standard they apply are Stalin’s show trails in the late 30’s!!!!!

Yes, Obama is really going to get a boost from this. The AG has stopped the Inquisition because it goes against the Alaskan Constitution. And Obama will get what from this??? Probably more people go to the other side for having his minions try to go over the Constitution of Alaska on his behalf.

So what you are saying it is fair game to put out lies in order to win. Way to go. Your surely do belong to the right party. Birds of a feather and all of that.

No lies. The simple facts.

A unanimous bipartisan approval for an investigation that Palin welcomed. She said “Hold me accountable” and waved off the need for subpoenas as she had instucted her staff to fully cooperate.

Then she refused to testify.

Her staff was instructed not to testify.

Subpoenas were approved.

Subpoenas were ignored.

What had looked totally innocent now looks like a cover up.

It dosen’t matter if she is guilty of anything or not, she now carries the taint of suspicion.

The new media/libertard meme: Palin Cover Up!

Fit-Fit…have you even read the previous posts by MH? There is a time line and lots of info the MSM is NOT telling the public.

Sure, Palin welcomed the investigation, but when it appeared that it was going to be a witch hunt (remember French’s “October surprise” comments….BEFORE any depositions were taken), Palin and her staff “lawyered up”. If you also read the previous postings, you would had discovered that Sen French is meddling with the investigation which is supposed to be the jurisdiction of Mr. Blackflower alone.

That is because McClatchy is a rag and is worse than AP or al-Rueters.

It’s seems that the Trooper’saga is not harming too much the McCain/Palin ticket… read this:

Today, McCain-Palin 2008 released a partial transcript of a conference call held this afternoon with Miguel D. Lausell, Senior Political Advisor to Hillary Clinton, and Clinton Delegate-at- Large Luchy Secaira (Florida). Both Lausell and Secaira endorsed John McCain for president.

(ABC News) An internal government document obtained by ABC News appears to contradict Sarah Palin’s most recent explanation for why she fired her public safety chief, the move which prompted the now-contested state probe into “Troopergate.”

Fighting back against allegations she may have fired her then-Public Safety Commissioner, Walt Monegan, for refusing to go along with a personal vendetta, Palin on Monday argued in a legal filing that she fired Monegan because he had a “rogue mentality” and was bucking her administration’s directives.

“The last straw,” her lawyer argued, came when he planned a trip to Washington, D.C., to seek federal funds for an aggressive anti-sexual-violence program. The project, expected to cost from $10 million to $20 million a year for five years, would have been the first of its kind in Alaska, which leads the nation in reported forcible rape.

The McCain-Palin campaign echoed the charge in a press release it distributed Monday, concurrent with Palin’s legal filing. “Mr. Monegan persisted in planning to make the unauthorized lobbying trip to D.C.,” the release stated.

But the governor’s staff authorized the trip, according to an internal travel document from the Department of Public Safety, released Friday in response to an open records request.

The document, a state travel authorization form, shows that Palin’s chief of staff, Mike Nizich, approved Monegan’s trip to Washington, D.C., “to attend meeting with Senator Murkowski.” The date next to Nizich’s signature reads June 18.

In response to inquiries about the document Friday, the McCain-Palin campaign provided a statement from Randy Ruaro, another aide to Palin.

According to Ruaro, Monegan asked for — and received — approval for the travel without telling Palin’s staff his reason for going. “As a matter of routine, the travel was approved by Mike Nizich … weeks before the actual purpose was made clear by former Commissioner Monegan,” Ruaro wrote.

“When you receive permission to travel, it does not mean that you receive blanket authorization to discuss or do whatever you would like on that trip,” he added.

Last week a legislative panel approved a subpoena for Nizich to be interviewed by Stephen Branchflower, the prosecutor hired to conduct the Alaska Legislature’s inquiry into Troopergate. The Attorney General informed the Legislature earlier this week that Nizich and other state employees subpoenaed in the matter would not submit to interviews.

Nizich did not respond to a message left Friday afternoon.

In Palin’s court filing Monday  to stop an investigation by her state Personnel Board she earlier had requested  her lawyer, Thomas V. Van Flein, included numerous emails from her staff expressing confusion and incredulity over Monegan’s planned D.C. trip. None of those emails were sent by or to Nizich, although he was cc’d on several.

Contacted Friday, Monegan confirmed the travel authorization was to pursue funding for the anti-sexual-violence program. He said the travel authorization form was completed in a fashion consistent with practice, even though it showed no expenditures. The signed form approved the travel, he said, and authorized him to use a government credit card or seek reimbursement for expenses he incurred during the trip.

Monegan said he didn’t know why Palin’s chief of staff approved a trip that confounded her other aides. “It sounds like it’s a breakdown of communication internal to the governor’s staff,” he said.

Go and look at Strata-Sphere. AJ has a commmentor that did some research and believes that this whole thing started with the Union that Montegan belonged to revenge on her for firing Montegan. She was the only one to defeat one of their endorsed candidates and Halco was the one that started a lot of the rumors about her. He was endorsed by the PSEA.

Accusations tying Monegan’s firing to an attempt by the governor to get Wooten fired first became public Thursday on former state lawmaker Andrew Halcro’s blog. Halcro, who lost to Palin in the 2006 governor’s race, wrote on his post about the Monegan firing that the public safety budget was cut by .06 percent for this year under Palin. He conceded that was an error Friday.But Halcro also suggested Monegan’s Friday revelation that he felt pressured by Todd Palin and others to fire Wooten should make those who attacked his blog reconsider.

“And just a note for all our skeptics and the Palin defenders since our story broke yesterday morning. … here’s looking at you kids,” Halcro wrote Friday.

The blog of the man Palin defeated is the source for the third attack on Palin? This is reporting? Have journalists now become nothing but repeater stations for any information they wish could be true, and so the avoid even investigating it so that their hopes can be realized? The man lost to Palin and then posts on his blog an accusation that the Monegan mess is not about budgets (as Monegan and his allies agreed it was) but about Mike Wooten, and people felt this was a credible source? Strata-Sphere

Go and read it.

Hilrarious defense of Sarah “Tricky Dick” Palin here. Ya right, and those dozen repubs flipped on the first bailout bill because they were hurt by the Pelosi speech….and then not one of the NINE repugs that followed her at the podium mentioned a word about it.

If you idealogical geniuses believe that… I’ve got a bridge in Alaska I was/was’nt for to sell you.

My favorite time will come after the election, when the truth about Palin’s sordid holy roller hyporcrite family life will hit the presses. What a fraud of a mother, especially her kids who I’d expect to be those of an irresponsible rock star. Just wait, it’ll be a doozy, you betcha!

Sarah Palin…time to go back to the “toothless meth capital of Alaska” as one Alaskan republican described Wasilla. What a moron….but perfect for today’s lowest common denominator republican.
