calfoxwc Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Report clears Palin in Troopergate probe Nov 3 09:00 PM US/Eastern By RACHEL D'ORO Associated Press Writer 114 Comments Alaskans Excited, Proud of Role in Election ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - A report has cleared Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin of ethics violations in the firing of her public safety commissioner. Released Monday, the report says there is no probable cause to believe Palin or any other state official violated the Alaska Executive Ethics Act in connection with the firing. The report was prepared by Timothy Petumenos, an independent counsel for the Alaska Personnel Board. A separate legislative investigation recently concluded that Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, abused her office by allowing her husband and staffers to pressure the public safety commissioner to fire a state trooper who went through a nasty divorce from Palin's sister. Palin says the firing had nothing to do with the trooper. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below. ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP)—A report detailing whether Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin abused her power by firing her public safety commissioner will be released on the eve of the election. Timothy Petumenos, an independent investigator hired by the Alaska Personnel Board, says he will release the report during a news conference 7:30 p.m. EST Monday. A separate legislative panel earlier found that Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, abused her office by allowing her husband and other staffers to pressure the public safety commissioner to fire a state trooper who went through a nasty divorce from Palin's sister. She fired the commissioner, but denies it had anything to do with the trooper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted November 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Meanwhile, titmouse, The you liberals whined and gloated about this, and it ends up completely partisan backstabbing, which... liberals think is an honorable way to discuss matters. She never did anything wrong. Now, liberals who jumped on this phoney story, say you are sorry, because you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osusev Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 sure cal the people she appointed on that board for their jobs are going to be REAL UNBIASED...... It does not matter anyways. She is done on the national politics scene much the same way Pat Buchanon is. She only appeals to people like you and not to the moderate independent base.

calfoxwc Posted November 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 but if she were found guilty, it would have matter. Gotcha. Besides, she was only "investigated" because of partisan politics. Therefore, being CLEARED by an INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATOR is a big deal. It means "you're innocent". "Which only is important if we're talking about a Dem"... "gotcha" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OconRecon Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Report clears Palin in Troopergate probe... So. Only the media cared. Normal Dems didn't. Maybe the far left and those who drink blue KoolAid. I was on her side actually, even if guilty. He sounded like an absolute idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
