The state Senate Judiciary Committee voted 3-2 today to subpoena 13 people -- including the husband of Gov. Sarah Palin -- in an investigation of whether Palin abused her power in trying to get her former brother-in-law fired.
Retired prosecutor Stephen Branchflower asked the state House and Senate judiciary committees for power to subpoena the 13 witnesses, including Todd Palin, the governor's husband.
"He's such a central figure. ... I think one should be issued for him," Branchflower said.
The Senate committees granted the request.
Well it seems perfectly reasonable since "Mr. Sarah Palin" seems to have used his wife's access to badger people about personal concerns that he had no right to even talk to.
Personally I can hardly wait for this thing investigation to start producing evidence that we can all pick through and blog about. This part in particular might prove informative and entertaining: In addition to authorizing subpoenas for the 13 witnesses, most of whom are state officials, the committee OK'd subpoenaing the cell phone records of Frank Bailey, a Palin aide who was placed on leave last month.
Damn it is a blast being a political blogger in Alaska right now!

ReplyDeleteAs blogger KarenZipDrive said, Palin is the Jerry Springer Show!
ReplyDeleteGryphen,
ReplyDeleteThe question now becomes, how could Todd Palin -- a non-elected, private citizens, have access to state personnel files and act on behalf of his wife?
man you are having all the fun!
ReplyDeleteHey Gryphen, this is from Mark Crispin Miller's blog, thought maybe it could be a good resource for you? I just scanned it & it looks like they have A LOT:
ReplyDeleteDear Mark Crispin Miller,
We've created the most comprehensive page of information on vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin on the Internet:
http://dailysource.org/palin.
Since Gov. Palin is new to just about everyone in the country, little
is known about her record and her policies. Our special section has
in-depth research, videos, audio clips, excerpts and links to
hundreds of articles, including many from newspapers and TV stations
in Alaska.
The level of research is unparalleled, and the page is updated
regularly. Our site's editors and volunteers include an Emmy-award
winning CNN reporter, the former operating editor of the Christian
Science Monitor's Web site, the former head of NPR's News Blog and
the Executive Director of the Online News Association -

Because we have created such a wealth of knowledge that much of the
public may not know about, please let your readers know about this
resource by writing about the site in your blog. We also hope that
you will benefit from our research and will visit us whenever you
need information about the upcoming elections.
Best regards,
