Palin’s Ethics Investigation Moves Forward
Well, with how the Bush administration fired federal prosecutors illegally, Sarah Palin might fit in just fine with a third Bush term under John McCain, his lap dog.
Subpoenas Due In Palin Trooper Probe
The Alaska Legislature is hastening its ethics investigation into Gov. Sarah Palin’s firing of her public safety commissioner, announcing that a report on the matter will be released three weeks earlier than previously announced.
A lawyer for Palin had said earlier this week that the governor would not speak to investigators, preferring to have the investigation transferred to a state personnel board (whose three members are appointed by the governor) for review. Palin had previously said she would cooperate with the probe.
Sounds like Sarah Palin has a lot in common with former Attorney General Gonzalez, except, in her own words, she made executive decisions. Gonzalez did what bush and Cheney told him to do. Sarah Palin decided on her own to fire people she didn’t like.
In July, a state oversight committee approved $100,000 for an investigation into whether Palin fired public safety commissioner Walt Monegan because he would not dismiss a trooper, Mike Wooten, who went through a messy divorce with her sister before Palin’s election as governor.
Monegan has said that he received calls from Palin, members of Palin’s office and her husband, Todd Palin, about Wooten. Todd Palin has no official role in the Palin administration. Bailey, the governor’s director of boards and commissions, was recorded on tape questioning why Trooper Mike Wooten was still employed.
So, just like John McCain is just more of the same, so is Sarah Palin it seems.
