I am sure these Dems already wrote the reports conclusions, why do they need to subpoena anyone?

OK, time to post pic of "independent" investigators posing in Obama Alaska HQ.

I think this guy can handle it.

If anyone wants on or off (?!) my "Todd Palin is a HUNK" ping list, please let me know.

I wonder how the investigators would like being investigated.

I think this is all a conspiracy by the Obama campaign and the Democratic Party to frame Palin and make her look bad. This needs to end now! They’ve gotta stop playing these pathetic and dirty games!

The more of this garbage they do, the more stupid Obama looks.

McCain-Palin’08!!!

Do these subpoenas have any legal weight at all or are they merely political tools?

The trooper not only should have been fired but put on trial for assaulting a child, found guilty, and put in an Alaskan prison. There is probably a list of infractions the guy she fired has written up on him ...wonder if this will become public.

I also think any dems holding office in Alaska will have great difficulty trying to undermine Palin in this effort..the people will vote them out..and if the major media go after Palin, they will be hurting for viewers.

It’s perfectly OK for an executive to fire a subordinate, as long as you are a Democrat. But when you are a republican, well, your firings are political and have to be investigated, ya’ know.

The subpoenas have legal authority. The guys issuing them are the political tools.

Maybe they will get their subpoenas, but who cares? An attorney representing the Palins should be able to get an appeal into a court and get it delayed a few months.

Remember the Tom Delay indictment? Delay tried desperately to get the whole matter decided before the election, and it's STILL languishing in the Texas appeals courts.

“Do these subpoenas have any legal weight at all or are they merely political tools?”

I am not sure, but here is some other info from today:

“Gov. Sarah Palin’s administration is threatening legal action to block subpoenas by the Alaska Legislature as part of its investigation into whether she abused her authority in trying to have her former brother-in-law fired as a state trooper.

In a letter to lawmakers, an assistant attorney general wrote that the administration was prepared to go to court to quash the subpoenas of Department of Administration staff if they’re issued as expected today.

But the letter, released yesterday, also suggested that if lawmakers agree that the governor has legal authority to designate staff to review confidential personnel files, the staff members will voluntarily speak with the Legislature’s investigator - no subpoenas necessary.

Sen. Kim Elton, chairman of the Legislative Council, was on a plane and could not be reached for comment yesterday. An aide, Jesse Kiehl, said: “He’s read the letter. I don’t believe that we have written back.””

They are simply hoping to make political hay out of it if/when Mrs. Palin claims marital privilege, as is her right.

“if/when Mrs. Palin claims marital privilege”

When she tells the media:

“My husband wanted to go after him with a 2x4, but I convinced him to let us go “Another Direction” “

She’ll seem like a hero to women....
