Fired 'Troopergate' figure accuses Palin of lying


Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is lying when she says she did not try to get her brother-in-law fired from the state's police force then sacked the public safety commissioner who would not go along with her planned vendetta, the official at the center of the scandal says.

ABC News, which secured the first televised interview with the Republican vice presidential nominee, reports the accusations Monday:

"She's not telling the truth when she told ABC neither she nor her husband pressured me to fire Trooper Wooten," said Walt Monegan, the Alaskan official whose dismissal by Sarah Palin is the focus of a state investigation known as "Troopergate". "And she's not telling the truth to the media about her reasons for firing me."

In an exclusive interview with ABC News.com, former Alaska Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan said he resisted pressure by the First Couple to re-open an old case against a state trooper, who was in a hotly contested divorce and custody battle with the Governor's sister Molly.

Alaskan lawmakers are investigating whether Palin and her husband used the power of the Governor's office to conduct a personal vendetta against their former brother-in-law, whose behavior during the 2005 divorce was described by the Palin family as " threatening."
Monegan recently spent several hours of sworn testimony to a legislative body investigating whether Palin abused her power. The results of the investigation are expected in October, although Palin has been trying to delay the proceedings until after the election.

Palin, who came to the GOP ticket touted as an honest, reform-minded candidate, has dodged inquiries about her and her husband's involvement in Monegan's firing. Among 1,100 e-mails the governor's office has refused to release in response to a public records request are dozens of exchanges among her husband and government aides regarding the public safety union that represents the state troopers.

Where's the msm?

So far it the New York Times, ABC and the Wash Post.

Busy with their heads up her rear end.

palin is stopping the investigation it seems

Oh ... that's old news, I believe. I thought this was something new (these days, 4 days ago is "old").

It's on ABC News from 3 hours ago

This bitch is John Gotti with a vagina. She will do everything she can to stop the investigation, except the big wigs in Alaska aren't taking the bait it seems.

Gotti was a talented leader who successfully managed a wide network of people. Granted he was also bent, but no comparison to Palin.

Unless you meant THIS John Gotti (Agnello).

Dishonest, Corrupt, and in the pocket of Big Oil

You're being facetious, right? The "MSM" has been all over this since about two days after she was announced, building the case with more information every couple of days.

CNN was going through her lies last night. People cannot get away from the truth if they just open their eyes and allow the sound waves in. Synaptic firing required.

And she has no friggen respect for Bears.

That's disgusting. Has absolutely no regard for life. Poor pooh bear. Sicko witch.

Who do you believe?



Sarah and Todd or Walt Monegan

It was on MSNBC today as well. They had Monegan on telling everyone that she was totally involved in this crap. How long is this bullshit going to go on. She is now avoiding an investigation, sound like any administration you know of?

Somebody needs to make a "We Believe You Walt" bumper sticker, like the "We believe you Anita" ones we had circa 1992.
