Troopergate Report: Palin Abused Power Unanimous but Contentious Vote to Release the Report to the Public By JUSTIN ROOD Oct. 10, 2008

(AP Graphic) Sarah Palin abused her power when she fired her Public Safety Commissioner this July, a state investigation has concluded.

The Alaska legislature voted to release the several-hundred page report on the "Troopergate" scandal, a state kerfuffle which has come to haunt Gov. Sarah Palin's vice presidential bid. The scandal centered around her firing of Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan, which Monegan and others believed was part of a personal vendetta against one of his subordinates.

The 14-member, Republican-dominated Legislative Council met in closed session this morning with the investigation's special counsel, Stephen Branchflower. After seven hours of exhaustive review, the legislators voted unanimously to release the report to the public.

"I'm going to vote to release it, but it's not a vote in total agreement," said Republican Sen. Gary Stevens.

"There's not a consensus for the conclusion," said GOP Rep. Bill Stoltze. He said he expected there would be "robust and vigorous intellectual debate on that in other corners."

Stoltze said he had received hundreds of e-mails from all over the country calling for the public release of the report. The state added extra servers to handle the traffic expected when the report is posted electronically to the legislature's Web site.

The Legislative Council voted unanimously to initiate the investigation in late July, after Palin fired former Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan. The probe was to determine whether she fired Monegan because he refused to take action against a state trooper who had been through a messy divorce from Palin's sister.

Palin denied wrongdoing and initially voiced support for the investigation. But after she joined the national Republican ticket, she and her supporters said the legislature had no right to investigate her, and accused legislators involved in the probe of supporting Democratic Sen. Barack Obama's presidential bid.

A lawsuit to stop the probe, which echoed many of the campaign's charges, was thrown out yesterday by the state Supreme Court.

Pitiful excuses for human beings they are. Ignoring Obama's ties to terrorists while making a big deal about a witch hunt over firing a state employee. She had very right to fire the dude. She doesn't even have to give a reason for firing him. The guy she fired abused his wife and threatened to kill her.

Her violation is not firing Wooten. She abused power by pressuring subordinates, including Wooten, to fire that brother-in-law of hers.

Do you understand abuse of power? It's the thing that scumbags such as Stalin, Mao or Nixon were known for.

But, I bet, you don't understand much.

vast...

Your credibility as an American is zero.

Everyone sees you for what you are, namely a partisan political sheep that will never see the light.

You are in fact a part of the problem in that you have always demonstrated that you are unable to think for yourself. Supporting anyone within the system is voting for our one party government.

One hundred and thirty million programmed sheep including VAST will do their patriotic duty and cast a vote as programmed.

Disgraceful.

Disgraceful.

Oh - Let's not take this so seriously. The President is just a mouthpiece for the men behind the curtain. The real power brokers don't even care if they get a R or a D in the White House.

They've already bought Obama. He's their boy.
