Default imminent Palin scandal was true

Like I said... The FBI was never necessary for an investigation. Their claim of "huh? what?" meant nothing. ...

AP NewsBreak: Palin implicated in ethics probe


AP NewsBreak: Palin implicated in ethics probe - Yahoo! News

By RACHEL D'ORO, Associated Press Writer
Rachel D'oro, Associated Press Writer – 1 hr 14 mins ago
ANCHORAGE, Alaska – An independent investigator has found evidence that Gov. Sarah Palin may have violated ethics laws by accepting private donations to pay her legal debts, in the latest legal distraction for the former vice presidential candidate as she prepares to leave office this week.

The report obtained by The Associated Press says Palin is securing unwarranted benefits and receiving improper gifts through the Alaska Fund Trust, set up by supporters.

An investigator for the state Personnel Board says in his July 14 report that there is probable cause to believe Palin used or attempted to use her official position for personal gain because she authorized the creation of the trust as the "official" legal defense fund.

Does this mean that Clinton broke the law with his legal defense fund?


It's not like it was under the table they set up a web site....

That is huge news.

Quote:
The practical effect of the ruling on Palin will be more financial than anything else. The report recommends that Palin refuse to accept payment from the defense fund, and that the complaint be resolved without a formal hearing before the board.
Quote:
The investigator, Thomas Daniel, sided with Palin in her frustration with having to defend herself against a barrage of ethics complaints. He suggested that Alaska lawmakers may need to create a law that reimburses public officials for legal expenses to defend complaints that end up being unfounded.

From the Facebook page of Palin's attorney:

Quote:
“The resolution of the Trust Fund is not final. I have been working with the investigator regarding supplemental information. The matter is still pending. Whatever you have seen was released in violation of law. There has been no Board finding of an ethics violation and there is a detailed legal process to follow before there is a final resolution.”

Thomas Van Flein
Private Attorney for Sarah Palin


A smear before the is found to be innocent like she has been on the other 17 frivilous charges that have been filed by dem activist?

"Frivilous".... That's funny... And those repeated allegations about Michael Jackson and young boys was also "frivilous." .... Because of course, Michael never did anything wrong, and it was just a witch hunt. Proof being that he was never found guilty.

Here's something to remember for all of you trumpeting the "nah, nah, 17 exhonerations" song:

All of the members of Alaska's personnel board were appointed by Sarah Palin, and they are the people reviewing and passing judgment on these complaints.

All the 'complaints' from 3-4 dem activist, all dismissed, But the bias of the press is why newspapers are dying...more phoney scandals from a phoney press..

So you've punted to Flogic's ridiculous premise to explain to yourself why newspapers are ill. That's excellent. Next, you'll be promoting the sacred hand-picked family unit and homosexuality as "sin."

Newspapers are dying because of free internet advertising. Period. But don't let that stop you from ignoring facts in a post put to you, and keeping those goalposts moving.

Your hero's political career is over. This thread was merely about our prediction that a new scandal was brewing, not that we're concerned about this partisan loon.

Thanks for playing.

All the manslaughter, serial adultery, and stone-walling lies the Kennedys, Bill Clinton, John Edwards, and a whole host of other Dems have done is removed from the news shelves immediately, while a single hang-over by a Repubs is given the legs of an Ethiopian marathon runner ... all by our "fiercely independent" <cough, cough> press in America. The First Amendment has turned into the Dominant (Left) Media Culture monopoly, much to the world's chagrin.
