You knew this was coming, right?
Back in July, Palin tells us:
“I’ve said all along, hold me accountable,” Palin told reporters in Juneau. “And I’m telling the truth when I say that there was never pressure put on Commissioner Monegan.”
Then we have the ex-Commissioner responding:
“She’s not telling the truth when she told ABC neither she nor her husband pressured me to fire Trooper Wooten,” said Walt Monegan, the Alaskan official whose dismissal by Sarah Palin is the focus of a state investigation known as “Troopergate”. “And she’s not telling the truth to the media about her reasons for firing me.”
And today:
Spokesman Ed O’Callaghan initially said Palin, the Republican nominee for vice president, would not testify as part of the probe “as long as it remains tainted.” He later clarified his statement to say Palin is “unlikely to cooperate” with the inquiry.
Tainted? Please.
And now she’s got Karl Rove-style email problems — using private accounts to do official business, and withholding emails regarding state business from investigators.
I’m revising the idea she wasn’t vetted — she most certainly was, and it was to make sure that she’s got the rules of GOP corruption down pat.
