| 'Wait, you want to depose me under oath concerning who is financing my lawsuit? You know $5,000 sounds like a reasonable settlement to me." |
On Thursday, the borough filed a motion brimming with exasperation, asking the court to order Miller to “stop playing games” and require Miller to produce the documents outlining his legal expenses and who has paid them, even though the case is close to being finally settled.
“At the risk of understatement, using campaign funds for personal reasons unrelated to the campaign would seem to be a problematic interpretation of federal election law,” the document states. “This is probably why Miller willfully refused to discuss his damages in any detail. … For unknown reasons, Miller has persistently and continually refused to ‘come clean’ about who was funding his litigation and in what amount.”
The latest filing also requests Miller pay the borough’s legal fees.
In previous documents Miller had cited attorney-client privilege as well as the need to hire an expert when declining to answer questions about his legal expenses.
In the months leading up to the judgment, Miller had offered to have the borough agree to a judgment of $50,000, then later $25,000. The borough made one settlement offer where Miller would get nothing.
The June 6 hearing resulted in a judge ruling against Miller’s claims for monetary compensation for damages resulting from the alleged leak of information. The only remaining issue after the hearing was the question of whether the borough had violated his privacy.
On June 18, the borough filed a request to depose Miller on July 31, where it would have also asked Miller to produce documents relating to his legal fees, any statements made by borough employees that he believed are false, secretly taped audio recordings of conversations with borough employees the borough believes he has as well as complete records of any conversations he had with political figures, such as Sarah Palin or David and Charles Koch, regarding his employment at the borough.
As we know on Tuesday, the day IMMEDIATELY after the borough's request to depose Miller, he SUDDENLY decided that this had gone on long enough and accepted a payoff of a measly $5,000.
Which of course means we now don't get to learn exactly who was financing Miller's personal crusade to punish the North Star Borough for daring to educate the voters of Alaska as to why they should NEVER elect Joe "Palin butt boy" Miller to political office in Alaska. And THAT, by the way, sucks!
But obviously it was somebody that Miller did NOT want revealed in court, and I am pretty sure that it was the same people who financed his Senate campaign in the first place. If that is true than Miller will do everything in his power to keep that quiet.
Want a hint? They were NOT from Alaska, and what they did (Which was well before Citizen's United) was VERY, VERY illegal at that time. And THAT is not something which the "Vaguely Bearded One" wants anybody to find out.
But do you know what? That information is on it's way. Oh yes it is!
And so is the connection between Miller, the GOP takeover, and Sarah Palin. Count on it.
Oh yeah--Joe's a Kochsucker along with Sarah. She's sitting back rubbing her claws together actually believing she's invisible. It is pitiful. And let's face it--Joe will do anything for funds.

ReplyDelete---------------------------
When ? Soon ? Or just another 'iceberg' ?
The Palin's and the Miller's colluding with Outside interests to boost their own sense of importance and acceptability to Alaska voters?
ReplyDeleteRemember Sarah breezily walking out of the Captain Cook a dozen times for her campaign commercial with Outside dollars?
This is why corrupt conservative douchebags don't deserve to live past primaries, they fight dirty to get there and then measure curtains and harass employees before they even get the power of office.
How's Mrs. Miller's shiny new overpaid political appointment working out for Alaskans?
Joe, how's your SuperPAC anyone but Romney going?
ReplyDeleteSarah, what was it you said to McCain's people was your one and only skeleton in your closet (other than, wink wink, being a "C" word? Creationist?)
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, a D- in economics in one of your five colleges.
Your one, and only, skeleton.
Your one and only skeleton in your best-selling-childood-journal-keeping-while-listening-to-Joe-Biden-speeches-since-you-were-seven-reading-any-of-em-all-of-em-books-cause-your-an-intellectual-in-the-Wasilla-library-while-being-a-mediocre-student-forced-to-run-thigh-burning-trail-of-tears-runs-for-your-awesome-hard-working-teacher/dad-while-holding-warm-moose-eyeballs-in-your-over-the-top-Frontier-Woman narrative.
You think you are so clever, you and assjacks like Joe Miller think you are so clever, above the law, when it comes to your ambition. And the liberties you take in pursuit of feeding your ego.
It catches up. You won't be shopping your naughty monkey's or other ungodly fugly shoes to the paying public for long.
Damn straight it's catching up. Take one LOOK at how ghastly she's becoming in bodily appearance. Drugs to go to sleep, drugs to wake up, drugs to go on TV, drugs to.......
Delete5:02....
DeleteThat was beautiful, man!
Sarah's skeletons have their own closets full of skeletons. In fact if you opened one up it would be reminiscent of the stateroom scene in the Marx Brothers movie 'A Night at the Opera'.
Delete:o) Perfect!
Delete" But do you know what? That information is on it's way. Oh yes it is!

That will be the Day....
Did Sarah have sex with Joe?
ReplyDeleteIt looks like her short and curlys are stuck on his face.
It continues to surprise and delight me that Sarah Palin, an airhead of the first order, who, it would be a good bet, never even graduated from any college, after trying and trying, imagines herself to be in the same league as the big boys.
ReplyDeleteFor example, the Koch brothers, whom my grandfather knew in the Texas oilfields. They went to MIT. They're not just rich, they're smart.
Mitt Romney, albeit an automaton, has two Harvard graduate degrees.
The Masters of the Universe on Wall Street didn't get there by throwing cans at a refrigerator, marrying a barely-high-school graduate, and producing a litter of cringe-making children. (Four of them -- Trig, whoever his parents are, is excluded for many reasons.)
Sarah, Joe, you are puppets. Most elected officials are becoming puppets, but you don't seem to realize, in your hearts, that you're just like my dog: you come when the Powers whistle for you, you stand on your hind legs, you beg for treats, and you snarl and anyone who comes nearby.
Well said. What Paylin still doesn't know is how powerful the forces are behind the McCain and Romney machines, and what their real agendas are.
DeleteWhen the election was over in 2008, and $arah realized that her Couric interviews had utterly ruined her political career, she knew her only way forward was to get a book deal, and become a fame whore.
Joe Miller, and $arah Paylin are 2 of a kind, and sooner or later their crimes will come out, just like Schaeffer Cox's have in the recent trial
Things that make you go hmmm.

"Joe Miller transfers election funds to new committee, 'Citizens for Joe Miller'
Dermot Cole Jun 21, 2012
Joe Miller terminated the Joe Miller for U.S. Senate Committee as of June 4 and transferred its assets to a new committee "the Citizens for Joe Miller Committee."
The Joe Miller for U.S. Senate Committee had $825,000 on hand at the end of 2010, a number that dropped to $454,000 by the end of 2011.
At the end of the first quarter of 2012, the campaign fund was down to $444,000.
Now the committee has emptied its bank account."
But don't jump to conclusions, there might not be anything mysterious going on.
"On Thursday, the borough filed papers in court saying that "days before oral argument on the motion for summary judgment seeking dismissal of Miller's indemnification claim, Miller terminated his campaign committee and transferred the balance of all funds to a new committee.""
You guys in Alaska have got a big ole hornet's nest of corruption to clean up. Glad to hear that they are getting started, because I am afraid it will take many years.
ReplyDeleteI think I had better go and read the original articles to catch up on this one...But what was his lawsuit about?
What was the original dollar amount that he was seeking?
He seems very arrogant, and cocky about wanting other people to pay his way.
Dude is Sarah Palin in a suit (and vague beard).
Ha, Alaska corruption is nothing compared to Wisconsin. Seriously, why keep picking on Alaska when there is so much worse in lower 48?
DeleteGryphen? Are you familiar (meaning can you call her up and give her an assignment?) with Rachel Maddow? Maybe if you could get her to investigate there would be answers forthcoming.
ReplyDeletePS It seemed like she (or it could have been Larry O'Donnell) was reporting on Paxson this past week.
I look forward to hearing more about the connections, we all know they exist, they just need exposing.
ReplyDelete"But do you know what? That information is on it's way. Oh yes it is!"
ReplyDeleteI hope so, Gryph
He is so GROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing pending with Palins and Miller. Miller has his own agenda and Palins have nothing to do with it.
ReplyDeleteRepeat it till you believe it. Actually, a better idea would be to write it down. That way you can honestly say "I read it somewhere".
DeleteFive Grand says it all.
ReplyDelete"n previous documents Miller had cited attorney-client privilege as well as the need to hire an expert when declining to answer questions about his legal expenses.

Follow the money, and it'll lead you right to the sources, including Sarah Palin. The article is worth reading in it's entirety. They're not backing down and letting "shady Joe" any outs.
