Anchorage Police Department admits there were misstatements in press release concerning Todd Palin and prostitution bust.

Dave Parker APD Spokesman
Malia Litman has received a response from Dave Parker the APD spokesman behind the release, and here is part of what he had to say:

Officer Parker confirmed that no attempt was made by him, and to his knowledge, by anyone with the Anchorage Police Department, to check the computer records or cell phone records of either Kashawn Thomas or Shailey Tripp. Thus he confirmed that the names of many people could be on the computer or cell phones seized, but he would not know about that. Thus if Todd Palin’s name appeared on the cell phone or lap top of Shailey Tripp, Officer Parker was not in a position to confirm or deny that. He did say that “Rabid” anti-Palin people might try to “conjur” something up. He did confirm that the cell phones and computer would be returned when both cases are closed, and that there would be no reason for any phone numbers or names to have been deleted.

Malia also learns that the person who called the APD asking for the press release from them was none other than Tomas Van Flein. I guess working as Rep. Paul Gosar's Chief of Staff in Arizona gives him plenty of time to harass the Anchorage police on behalf of the Palins. I guess he is still not far enough away that he doesn't have to jump when Sarah tells him to.
There is much more to this story so please head on over to Malia Litman's Blog to find out all of the juicy details.

    This is so sad it’s almost time to put away the Palin bashing, even though she’s a vicious, cruel person who’s so incompetent and obsessed with her own myth that she’s ruined just about everything she’s touched. Still, this is sad.

    So the flea bag asked him to do it huh. Why aren't i surprised. My guess is he intentionally didn't look at all the evidence because he knew what he would find.

    It is interesting that Van Flea said IF you don't find anything please issue a press release. IF is a BIG word in this sense.

  6. The implications are immense. The chief Palin lawyer contacts the APD and gets them to issue a misleading press release which was circulated to kill or discredit a story adverse to Sarah Palin.

    The big question now is, will this story have any legs? Will other media sources have the courage to publish it? Because if there was ever a reason for this story to go mainstream, this is it.

    How come the lame stream media, FOX or Sarah Palin the journalist with the college degree and the who, what, when,where and why knowledge is not digging this stuff up?

    Why do we have to do their work?

    I hope Sarah learns by creating so many enemies, she created this hornets nest.

    Sarah, the chickens are coming home to roost.

    Sounds like Officer Parker didn't do his job very well. Maybe it was suggested to Parker by "friends of Sarah" at APD to gloss over his initial investigation.

    That kind of thing happens a lot in Alaska.

  9. I have to assume Shailey knows exactly where Todd Palin's name is in her records. Perhaps if there is a trial names will be named. I am still curious about that anomaly regarding Todd's privates...I seem to remember Michael Jackson having investigators examine his.

    Congrats to everyone working together to get the facts out....it takes a village.

    Gryphen,
    I hope you post the link to Malia's blog post to your connection at the National Enquirer as there should be a new Press Release correcting the errors and omissions in that the release Parker put out is totally misleading.

    What I don't understand -- Since when does the Police in AK issue a press release for a 'citizen' when asked by someone he actually was not firm on in the identification - VanFleece?? Would they issue a release for you or me. Yearightsure!! Don't hold your breath.

    I am also baffled that Parker made the decision himself that it's not to be included on the website for press releases. Sounds like he oversteps his 'powers' for what should and should not be submitted. All Pressers should be submitted and posted. It has the similar sounds like that of using a State server for emails or private email accounts.

  11. This is all lies because by not putting their statement on their web site they revealed they were lying.

    And they continue to do so.

    At Mailia Litman:
    Officer Parker indicated that after the National Enquirer story involving Todd Palin and Shailey Tripp was published, the Anchorage Police Department was contacted by the attorney for Sarah Palin who he believes was Thomas Van Flein.

    Which is not quite what you have.


    Malia also learns that the person who called the APD asking for the press release from them was none other than Tomas Van Flein.

    There is some more confusion generated by the APD concerning this statement. It's not a coincidence. If Parker couldn't say conclusively who made the contact- why might that be?

    This might be a red herring.

    I think Officer Parker's conduct was questionable, and I hope he gets disciplined for it.

    On issues connected to the former Governor, he should have checked with the Chief of Police before responding to a request from a civilian (even an attorney such as Van Flein)or with legal counsel for the ADP.

    He should not have commented on the press or bloggers as he did. Doing so conveyed a bias that is unacceptable. The police are supposed to be non-political in their professional duties.

    Parker should be officially chastised for his comments and conduct.

    Wonder if SarahPAC will have to pay Van Flein $10K for this phone call. Maybe only $5K since his efforts didn't stick for long - it only worked until Malia got on the job.

    Come on, Anchorage Police Department. Get your stories straight. Do you need to pass all of your Palin-related press releases by Van Flea before you post them? You owe your allegiance to who? Are you going to actually do your job and search for Todd's name in the confiscated items or not?

    I find Officer Parker's statement that "there would be no reason for any phone numbers or names to have been deleted" to be incredibly unbelievable considering the scandals that routinely arise in Alaskan politics.

    Either Parker is supremely naive or trying to be too cagey by half.

    There is every reason for Todd Palin's name and number to be deleted from the computer and phone if it appeared in either. The Palins have a lot to lose.

    It is obvious that Parker is a Palin supporter by his comments, and it is likely there are others who are who might have access to the evidence.

    The credibility of the APD has been compromised by Officer Parker's comments and conduct.

    Lord above us, it was this easy to get the truth? And not one of the "journalists" who wrote articles citing the APD press release bothered to call and verify anything?

    Does it not anger the good citizens of Alaska, the way this woman has made them look like fools? The way she uses public servants-- whose salaries they pay--against them?

    The emails I've seen released from Bailey's book show a woman who used the apparatus of the state to go after anyone who said anything about her family, to puff up her own image--to do everything except actually govern the state! Where was Bailey's head? (And everyone else working for her) Why were the people of Alaska paying these people's salaries to try to stop rumors that Sarah's 16 yr old was knocked up or to keep Sarah's poll numbers from slipping? Just because she had no concept of the separation between her personal business and state business doesn't mean her staff should have gone along. Beyond belief!

    Is anyone else suspicious of the near TWO MILLION followers of sp on facebook? I sure am!
    Today we learn that her staff spent countless hours (per Politico released e-mails) voting relentlessly on polls to boost her popularity - countless "votes" to paint her in a favorable light.
    WHY is it the same 50 to 75 people positing the adoring comments on her FB if there are apprx. TWO MILLION fans?
    Could it be that the bots have many, MANY facebook i.d.'s (like Lou sarah) so they can make her look so adored? Keep in mind that lots of them voted up to 100 times each for bristol on DWTS.
    This behavior seems to have been standard operating procedure during sp's term as gov. and beyond.
    It is important because the bots keep posting her FB fan numbers to PROVE how loved and popular she is.
    I call B.S.

    They are investigating a prostitution business without investigating if there were in fact clients?

    Johns are just as much, if not more so, criminals as the woman.

    More so because without their money there is no prostitution and there is not business.

    If they try Tripp they will have no choice but to expose the Dude during discovery or in the trial. That would put him as an criminal in court records.

    Bet they eventually drop charges on Tripp.

    If they do then we know the Dude was criminally involved.

    A private citizen's attorney requests a press release from APD. APD issues the requestd press release to a single media outlet.

    APD representative admits to a blogger that the press release contained at least one false statement that APD knew was false when the press release was issued.

    That's the way things go down in the land Palin still controls with an iron fist. Faking a pregnancy in that environment should be EASY, yet Palin still managed to screw up even that simple task. The woman is an idiot.

    The fact that Sarah has not left the stage does not mean that people are not noticing this stuff. The fact is, this stuff IS "juicy" and continues to chisel away at Sarah's facade. You can deny it all you like. It's not going to stop the snowball from growing, and may even help push it along. But since you think it's nothing, I'm sure that you won't mind as more of it turns up.

    "Is van Flein guilty of impeding an investigation or attempting to suppress evidence of a crime?"
    -------------

    Good question.

    VanFlea and Parker have done much to misrepresent the truth in the media. The fact that Parker "believes" it was VanFlea calling. Hello - you best be damm sure who it is before you issue any information in the public forum. Did he get authorization to release this - from what I've read of Parker - I seriously don't think so and truly believe the issue of the Press Release and Parker's dealing with it and his choice to not submit it to be included on the Press Release webpage, should be an issue discussed with his superiors as he has gone off the rails on this.

    His reference to things 'not be deleted' sounds like the opening discussion of the cover-up that they have deleted information.

    Can you call it a scum cop - I would and would take it over his head in a nano second to have him suspended and demoted as there is no trust there.

    Todd and Sarah are horrid people! It is appearing more and more that they should be investigated for various things.

    Andrew Halcro reported more stuff today. And, national news is covering things she did while in office here in Alaska. The words coming from the manuscript do not appear to stopped even though a legal firm has tried to stop them with letters to various folk. ried folk!

    The fact the police department (Anchorage) played into their antics absolutely takes the cake. Parker should be fired for spreading untruths in his statement. It sure seems that anyone who gets involved w/this Palin group goes down and absolutely ruins their reputation -i.e. Meg Staplemouth here in Anchorage and many others.

    I'll wager John McCain has gotten a copy of this manuscript - thank God they weren't elected. He probably taught her some hinky stuff while they were on that national campaign.

    Sarah is going down - slowly but surely!

  54. Personally, if I were David Kernell's attorney, I would be very interested in looking at all of these e-mails and public servant abuses by the entire Palin apparatus. Kernell's e-z college-kid's exposure of the whole circus could have revealed all of this off-the-state-record nonsense very early on. These revelations sure point to why the vendetta against this young man was so important to them all. And why they made such dramatic noises in the courtroom.
