An inquiry Monday by officials for the Public Safety Employees Association concluded that investigators did not delay a search warrant for political reasons, said union president Rob Cox. Charges of political meddling erupted last week because of misunderstandings between investigators working on the case and senior state public safety officials, Cox said.
The drug-selling case against Johnston -- whose son, Levi, is the father of Palin's new grandson, Tripp -- did draw unusual scrutiny from top public safety officials, Cox said. He said union and state officials hope to meet Tuesday to sort out any misunderstandings and determine whether political considerations had any effect at all.
"At this point, it really is a non-issue," Cox said.
Public Safety Commissioner Joe Masters issued a statement late Monday, repeating his assertion that the governor's office was never clued in to the drug investigation and that trooper leaders were only trying to assure that the case was handled like any other.
So let me get this straight. A trooper involved in the Sherry Johnston drug investigation sends an internal e-mail to his union complaining of "interference".
He never intends for it to be made public and therefore has no other agenda then to inform the union of potential harm to the investigation. And yet we are to believe that Trooper Young is less believable then an official denial issued by Palin appointee Joe Masters, who was featured just today in Countdown's "Worst Persons in the World" segment.

Do you buy it? Because I sure as hell don't.
I seems fairly obvious that once again the Palin-bots are desperately trying to put out a fire caused by somebody telling the truth about their use of political pressure to make sure the needs of Governor Sarah are always put first and foremost before the needs of the citizens of Alaska. And how do they put out that fire? By applying even more political pressure. I believe the term "one trick pony" applies here.
And once again Palin and her stormtroopers are tone deaf as to how this is going to appear to their constituents. After all of her blatant lies and obvious obfuscation does she really believe that she can put this genie back in the bottle?
Just because the local Alaska media is kissing her feet does not mean that the average Alaskan will buy this load of moose crap.
Remember that Trooper Kyle Young sent this e-mail to "all the union members in the state". You don't do that unless you are pretty damn sure of your facts.
And also remember that "Union officials backed up Young at first, saying they had verified his allegations with the rest of the Mat-Su drug unit."
So did you get that? The Union backed Trooper Young up after they "verified his allegations with the Mat-Su drug unit". The Union did not simply go off half cocked to protect one of their own. They had their ducks in a row and were confident the facts backed up Trooper Young.
Facts don't change, which means their original statement was true and this is nothing more then a Palin administration manipulation of reality. And at this point who has not seen that a dozen times or more?
It is time for the Union to reach down to adjust their "boys" and stand up to these bullies once and for all. If they do that they will have the support of grateful Alaskans all over this state.
it's like watching a political comedy of errors. next thing you'll hear from the Palin-bots will be that the McCain campaign reps put pressure on the troopers to stall the investigation. SHE won't say, someone else will, while she's out getting a manicure. she is so out of her league, politically speaking. she's like the Lucille Ball version of Blagojevich. actually that's not fair...to Lucy, may she rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteAnother Troopergate in the making. Kyle Young better watch out. He will be sitting next to Mike Wooten soon.
ReplyDeleteShe is something...and they will protect her at his expense I am sure.
