"Everything she did was within her rights as a governor." The investigative committee said:
FINDING ONE
Governor Sarah Palin abused her power by violating the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act. That states: "Each public officer holds office as a public trust and any effort to benefit a personal or financial interest though official action is a violation of that trust."
* The most damaging finding. Stephen Branchflower, the investigator appointed by Alaska legislators, concluded that the Governor abused her power by conducting a campaign to have her former brother-in-law Mike Wooten fired as a state trooper, or by failing to prevent her husband Todd from doing so. He deemed this an effort to secure "a personal interest" under the Ethics Act, through her position.
She
was within her rights to fire Walt Monaghan.
BUT, she was
not within her rights to put pressure, and knowingly allow her husband to put pressure, on her subordinates in an effort to get Officer Wooten fired. Two different issues. Two different findings. Really, how hard is that for you, Sarah and the rest of her talking heads to grasp?
Art has a double face, of expression and illusion.
