Troopergate Documents released... what the MSM isn't telling you
Breaking News...
Troopergate documents have been released. What are the findings?
"Governor Palin’s firing of Commissioner Walt Monegan was a proper and lawful exercise of her constitutional and statutory authority to hire and fire executive branch department heads.” It cites the Alaska Constitution, which says “the governor may discharge department heads without cause” and that department heads “serve at the pleasure of the governor.”
She could have fired him for any reason or no reason.
They also concluded that his insubordination when it came to the attempted firing of a state trooper was only a contributing factor, but that there were other reasons that lead to his being fired.
The issue comes in with what they call a willful failure to control her husband from actively pursuing to fire the trooper she claims threatened her father, and tasered his 10-year-old son... that allowing him to continue to pursue the situation was an abuse of her power.
However, she did not benefit from these actions as the trooper not only remains gainfully employed, but he was also promoted.
So because she did not rein in her hubby, she was found to have violated ethical codes, but it does not fall into the realm of illegal activity.
However, I guarantee you the Main stream media will only push the point that she was found to have abused her power.
Palin found to have abused her power
the legislative commity investigating Palin in "troopergate" have said she did abuse her power.
The investigative report concludes that a family grudge wasn't the sole reason for firing Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan but says it likely was a contributing factor.
Critics claim Palin fired Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan after months of pressure on him to fire Mike Wooten, a state trooper involved in a nasty divorce and custody dispute with the governor's sister.
What the AP reports and lefty blogs don't mention is that the state trooper was suspected to have made death threats against Palin's father (his father-in-law), and tasered his 10-year-old son, and the saftey commissioner's continued insubordination. on many occassions he went behind her back and did the opposite of what her orders were. This was another occassion. Because of the seriousness of the accussations of tasering a child and death threats against her father, it deemed serious investigation... since Monegan once again ignored her, he was fired.
This is all about a bitter man fired for not doing his job, and her enemies in the Alaskan GOP angry with her for standing up to them on a number of occassions.
While she was found to have abused her power... no law was Violated. While they feel the firing was an ethical violation, it was not illegal.
