This was done after she hired an attorney in the matter (probably at the behest of the campaign committee, as I suggested yesterday), so i wouldnt get too carried away that it was solely her decision, especially since it was not done prior to retaining legal counsel.
When i read the affidavit that was posted here earlier this morning, i noticed that provision that mandates referral of a possible ethics violation to the proper authority, and noted how the fired PSC had NOT done so, which is significant, imo.
this present filing is certainly pro-active and pre-emptive, and is a good move on her attorney’s part.
That isn’t true. Palin never hired an attorney. The state attorney general hired the lawyer, it’s part of their job.
