Haz's story was from the AP - what do you think they were going to say. I've put some of the article from the Anchorage Daily News (
http://www.adn.com/palin/story/552393.html) below, but Haz has a point - the MSM will spin this, as someone else said, portraying Palin as Public Enemy #1 while ignoring b-ho's background, character, and just what kind of fascist commie he is.
Remember, this state trooper was drunk in a squad car, tasered an 11 year old just because the kid said he wanted to be, and threatened Palin's father. In reality, much ado about nothing, but yes, a very feeble October surprise.
FTA:
Branchflower's report contains four findings. The first concludes that Palin violated the state's executive branch ethics act, which says that "each public officer holds office as a public trust, and any effort to benefit a personal or financial interest through official action is a violation of that trust." (Path here - BTW, the Legislature has no authority or control over the Governor, this is essentially an opinion piece by an Obama supporter)
...
The investigation also looked into whether Palin dismissed public safety commissioner Walt Monegan because he resisted pressure to fire Wooten.
...
"Governor Palin knowingly permitted a situation to continue where impermissible pressure was placed on several subordinates in order to advance a personal agenda ... to get Trooper Michael Wooten fired," Branchflower's report says.
...
In the second finding, Branchflower says Monegan's refusal to fire Wooten was not the sole reason for his dismissal but that it was a "contributing factor." Still, he said,
Palin's firing of Monegan was "a proper and lawful exercise" of the governor's authority.
The third finding says a workers compensation claim filed by Wooten was handled
appropriately. Number four concludes that the attorney general's office failed to comply with Branchflower's Aug. 6 request for information about the case in the form of e-mails.
...
In a five-page response issued Friday night, Palin's attorney, Thomas Van Flein, accuses Branchflower and Democratic Sen. Hollis French, who oversaw the investigation, of using the probe in a partisan attempt to "smear the governor by innuendo."
Van Flein says Branchflower's finding that Palin violated the ethics act is flawed because she received no monetary benefit from whatever actions she and her husband are accused of. He cited several prior ethics investigations.
