Thread: TrooperGate UpDate!

More evidence that at the very least she lied! Read whole article though.



The Attorney General's investigation quickly turned up evidence that Palin's initial denials were false. Multiple members of her staff had raised Wooten's employment with Monegan. Indeed, the state police had a recording of one of her deputies pushing Monegan to fire Wooten. That evidence forced Palin to change her story. Palin said that this was the first she'd heard of it and insisted the deputy wasn't acting at her behest, even though the trascript of the recorded call clearly suggested that he was. (Hear the audio here.)

Just yesterday, Monegan gave an interview to the Washington Post in which he said that not only Palin's aides, but Palin's husband and Palin herself had repeatedly raised the Wooten issue with him and pressured him to fire him. And now he says he has emails that Palin sent him about the matter. (In an interesting sidelight, that may end up telling us a lot, Monegan says no one from the McCain campaign ever contacted him in the vetting process.)

Talking Points Memo | Getting Real About Palin

Youtube video or it didn't happen.

The guy should have been fired (and as of now he hasn't been fired). Trooper investigations indicted that Wooten told the family that he would shoot the father if he got his ex-wife a lawyer. Complaints were made about Wooten before Palin ever became Governor.

He was suspended for using a taser on his stepson . . . . and this guy Monegan reduced his suspension (although it was coupled with other offenses). The guy should have been out of a job a long time ago, that is, unless you advocate using tasers on your children.

Do you think this guy who threatens to kill people whould remain a state trooper?

Don't taze me Bro!

Take the politics away from this matter. Before she was the Governor, this Wooten had affirmed he was a bad cop besides a lousy husband, who just happened to be Palin's then brother-in-law.

Palen's complaints regarding him were in 05 before she was Governor. And it seems no matter what she did with regards to Wooten, by the time she became Governor she's in a trick box.

If the Wootens' were living a happy marriage and this guy was abusing his power, and for the sake of the family (her sister) did nothing to get him off the force, then she would be accused of covering up for the sake of family harmony. This is a damned if you do, and damned if you don't for Palin.

The question you have to raise is who do you want to prevail in this equation. A Governor weighing in on the firing of a dirty Cop? Or having the Governor wink and nod his abuse of power?

Once again the libs have stepped in it. They make this issue into a family divorce vendetta, instead of looking at the principles. To reduce this firing to a personal vendetta, is to prop up a dirty cop, who just got steam rolled by an over reaching Governor.

The reality is, Wooten exhibited behavior of a cop similar to those we saw over and over during the Rodney King beatings. And a decade and a half of that visual should make any politician, any Chief of Police aware that this style of behavior can't be allowed on any force.

Then when you get into the 5 day suspension given by Col Grimes, the duplicitous complaints of Palin from Monegan, you begin to see "Blue wall"/good ole boys network. Palin seems to be above the good ole boys network and has proven she stands up to it.

This gets lost, because of an agenda the left has. They would rather victimize Wooten the bad cop, than to honor a champion of the people. So typical

I like your avatar, dogs are cute.

If LCOF ever stated any facts, it was purely accidental.

That said, hopefully Palin is proven innocent of these corruption allegations.
