Alaska state legislators were asked to approve subpoenas for the husband of GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and 12 others, as part of an ongoing investigation into whether Palin abused her power as state governor. palin french Troopergate investigator Sen. Hollis French seeks subpoenas for 13 witnesses and the phone records of Sarah Palin aide.
In a nondescript conference room filled to capacity, special counsel Steven Branchflower asked lawmakers to issue subpoenas to Alaska "First Dude" Todd Palin and a dozen current and former state officials, including aides to Gov. Palin, to determine whether she had overstepped her authority in firing one of her commissioners in July.
Palin has said she fired Monegan because she wanted to move his department in a "new direction," and he was not being "a team player on budgeting issues."
When the flap erupted in July, Palin maintained her office had not pressured Monegan to fire Wooten. The governor was forced to reframe her position in August, after a recording surfaced of a phone call in which one of her aides, Frank Bailey, discussed firing Wooten with a state trooper official.
"I do now have to tell Alaskans that such pressure could have been perceived to exist although I have only now become aware of it," Palin said at the time, noting that in addition to the call, another two dozen contacts from her aides – and even her husband – to public safety officials about Wooten had been identified.
Monegan has said Palin had discussed Wooten with him personally on two occasions, and emailed him about the matter. He said he believed his refusal to fire Wooten led her to dismiss him.

They’ll make up a crime if they can’t find one.
We need to start this huge investigation into Obama.
Since he has had a pass, I think the time has come to go after him hard.
And the Clintons did not abuse their power by using the IRS to attempt to destroy anyone who went public about Bill’s sexual exploits?
Zerobama’s lackeys are just trying to sidetrack her. They are absolutely apoplectic! As well they should be.

Jon Tester beat Conrad Burns in the Montana Senate race in 2006 by 3,562 votes. Burns was under a legal cloud at the time of the election, but was later cleared—probably he would have been re-elected if not for that, and the ‘Rats would not have captured the Senate.
Stand firm folks this will get ugly. Normal everyday folks are fighting back and the more the scum throw at this family the stonger we get.
