The panel concluded she had no motive to do so other than personal reasons, which is an abuse of power. The investigation began before anyone would have guessed that Palin would be the VP nominee. The investigation was approved by a bipartisan panel consisting of 10 Republicans and 4 Democrats. The vote was unanimous. Palin and her favorite creationist supporter, SU, want to argue that this was all a politically-motivated act, but that just doesn't comport with the facts. |

Still, I agree the cop himself is entitled to due process per state and federal law. But this report is rank hearsay. This morning NPR acknowledged that the report was politically motivated. NPR also noted that it's possible to admire Palin for making so many political enemies in a state where political corruption is so rife, even in her own party. Bottom line: it's politics. |
Also, the most powerful force at work here may be Judge Ito complex. These small-time political hacks weren't going to pass up a chance at fifteen minutes of fame and opportunity for advancement.

If it has become political, it is because Palin made it so. She and her husband initially indicated they would cooperate. They initially did cooperate. She was then nominated as VP, and all cooperation ceased. Instead, an army of attorneys from the McCain campaign flew to Alaska and tried to shut the investigation down. Palin and her husband were then subpoenaed, and they still refused to cooperate. Everyone who was available for interview and who was relevant was interviewed. Really- what do you want? Rather than saying "NPR thinks it was politically motivated" (who knew you took NPR as gospel?), present some facts to support your argument. You are becoming more Tex-like by the day. |

My favorite part of Palin's reign as governor is using her Yahoo email account to conduct state business, so as to avoid the Alaska public records law.
Yahoo? (I'd go with G-Mail, personally, so Google can suggest products related to the content of your message. You know, so if your message said "investigation" Google could suggest a local law firm. Geez...) If Palin ever held the highest office, would we see an official Snowmobile Racing Association Month? "Bush League"... well... actually, worse. |
