McCain Shuts Down Palin Investigation

Yesterday on Thom Hartmann's radio show, an Alaskan resident called and basically told Hartmann that the McCain campaign has taken over the Alaskan Department of Justice.

But you won't find such things in my MSM report. Nor will you find that it is REPUBLICANS that want to investigate PALIN'S CORRUPTION!!!

"Palin's husband refuses to testify in investigation" by Associated Press And Globe Staff | September 19, 2008

ANCHORAGE - Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's husband has refused to testify in the investigation of his wife's alleged abuse of power, and a key lawmaker said yesterday that uncooperative witnesses are effectively sidetracking the probe until after Election Day.

Todd Palin was one of 13 people subpoenaed by the Alaska Legislature and was to appear today and testify as to whether Sarah Palin, now the Republican vice presidential nominee, fired Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan in July because he refused to dismiss a state trooper who had gone through a bitter divorce with Sarah Palin's sister.

Ed O'Callaghan, a spokesman for John McCain's presidential campaign, said yesterday that Todd Palin no longer believes the Legislature's investigation is legitimate.

Sarah Palin at first welcomed the investigation, known as "Troopergate." But since McCain selected her as his running mate, the campaign has raised objections and is now calling it partisan and unfair.

Palin has said she fired Monegan because he wouldn't carry out her budget orders.

But last night on Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes," she also talked about the trooper.

"This trooper tasered my nephew," she said. ". . . It's all there. His threats against the first family, the threat against my dad. All that is in the record. And if the opposition researchers chooses to forget that side of the story, they're not doing their job."

--more--"

Yeah, if you can turn it into a partisan, he-said, she-said affair then it is that much easier for the MSM to avoid the stench of Sarah's rule!

What does she have to hide, anyway?
