Palin - “Hold me accountable.”
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A campaign spokesman says Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin won’t speak with an investigator hired by lawmakers to look into the firing of her public safety commissioner.
She was not subpoenaed. She is not required to. Perhaps the real reason she is now unwilling to talk, is that Democrat Senator Hollis French has turned the investigation into a political media circus. Maybe had he conducted the investigation with in the confines of the committee instead of in the court of public opinion and media smear, she might be more willing to cooperate.
Palin - “Hold me accountable.”
"a Republican dominated Legislature voted unanimouslyto proceed with the investigation by special investigator Stephen Branchflower"
Actually, wrong again. Several legislators voted against it.
Palin - “Hold me accountable.”
McCain campaign spokesman Ed O’Callaghan told a news conference Monday that the governor, the Republican nominee for vice president, will not cooperate.
"The McCain campaign said on Monday that Palin, who was not subpoenaed, was unlikely to cooperate." Taken from AP article

Palin - “Hold me accountable.”
Earlier she claimed to be innocent and said she would assist in the investigation. Now since the findings seem to implicate both she and her husband in a felony, she now refuses to cooperate with the Republican led investigation.
There have been no findings released. Instead, there has been a flurry of democrat activity trying to dig up dirt on her so they can smear her before the election. What is fact though is this:
1: Trooper Wooten had a domestic Violence Order issued by a judge against him to protect his estranged wife.
2: Trooper Wooten tazed his eleven year old step son.
3. Trooper Wooten was found to be driving a cruiser with an open beer in 2004.
4. In a letter to DPS employees announcing his termination, Walter Monegan wrote that he was an at-will employee and knew his dismissal was "a possibility ever present", and that he had been advised that the governor wanted to take DPS in a "different direction. The next day during an interview he said the dismissal came out of the blue.
5. On August 28, in an interview with Anchorage Daily News, Monegan said, "For the record, no one ever said fire Wooten. Not the governor. Not Todd. Not any of the other staff. What they said directly was more along the lines of 'This isn't a person that we would want to be representing our state troopers.'"
6: On September 15, 2008, McCain/Palin campaign spokeswoman Meg Stapleton held a news conference at which she accused Monegan of "egregious insubordination," "obstructionist conduct" and a "brazen refusal" to follow proper channels for requesting money. Asked why someone with a history of insubordination would be offered the leadership of the Alaska Alcoholic Beverage Control Board, Stapleton said that without having to deal with a budget, Monegan would be able to focus on alcohol abuse issues. She added that Palin "respects the fact that [Monegan] was respected in the community"
This clearly indicates one thing. That Trooper Wooten should not have been in law enforcement after his repeated violations of department policy, and that Walter Monegan should not have sent an email the day before he lied in an interview.
Palin - “Hold me accountable.”,............... except if you have something that might stick, then go mask yourself.
Maybe you should stop trying to smear Palin based on some BS crap cooked up by the Democrats and instead just dig through her political past to find something that glaringly says she should not be VP. My bet is you can't which is why you resort to continuing a smear campaign that is absolutely low class. Which in my opinion smears you along with it.
