Palin’s Trooper Firing Still Under Investigation~Republicans Continue To Flip-flop
NBC and MSNBC are reporting Republican Attorney General Talis Colberg is doing one of the things Republicans do best…stonewalling the investigation to determine if Palin’s dismissal of the head of Alaska public safety because of his refusal to fire Palin’s ex-brother-in-law, was unlawful.
An Alaska newspaper reports on a letter from Colberg to state Senator Hollis French, the Democrat overseeing the investigation, in which Colberg asked subpoenas in the TROOPERGATE matter be withdrawn. Colberg also said the employees would refuse to appear unless either the full state Senate or the entire Legislature votes to compel their testimony.
It’s also been reported in Newsweek McCain’s campaign has sent former U.S. Attorney Edward O’Callaghan to manage the aggressive legal strategy to stop the state’s investigation. Last week in Anchorage O’Callaghan said at a McCain campaign news conference, Palin is ‘unlikely to cooperate’ with an Alaskan legislative inquiry into Monegan’s firing because it had been ‘tainted’ by politics. Hear the sound of flip=flopin’… O’Callaghan’s remark appears to contradict a previous vow, expressed by Palin’s official gubernatorial spokesman on July 28; at that time the public was told Palin “will fully cooperate” with an investigation into the matter.
We think this is a very smart move on the part of the Republican campaign. The electorate gets a pre-view of the kind of government we can expect to have before they come into power. It’s Nixonian, GWB, Cheney and Rove style secrecy in one convenient package.
The handwriting is on the wall, America. If it isn’t read now there will be much sadness and weeping later.
