The empty investigation into Palin as governor
Saturday, October 11th, 2008I’ve downloaded a copy of the report from the Alaska investigation. I started reading the testimonies of the people who were witnesses to the issue. They all say the same thing. Todd Palin was the one pushing the issue.
The report says that Sarah Palin handled the firing of the public safety official properly. What, then did she supposedly do wrong? She didn’t rein in her husband.
There are so many problems with this report that it might only take until morning before people expose the flaws in it. Here are a few that I spotted:
- It was Todd Palin’s behavior that was in question, not Sarah’s.
- Sarah was required to rein him in if there was a question of ethics violations, but the report shows no indication that there were any.
- The report did not recommend any charges be filed or any disciplinary action be taken against her.
- Todd’s concern, and it’s clear that it was shared by Sarah, was for the safety of her sister, her father and the people of the area where the ex-brother-in-law served as a state trooper.
