Conflict of Interest: The Investigation of Governor Sarah Palin (Branchflower tight with Monegan
Vanity ^ | 091208 | McCain Nation

Posted on 09/12/2008 3:53:23 PM PDT by Fred

According to documents on the Anchorage Municipal website, Troopergate investigator Stephen E. Branchflower’s wife, retired Detective Linda J. Branchflower, served as an officer and later as a detective in the Anchorage Police Department (APD) from about 1985 until December 2001. Linda Branchflower and Walter Monegan served together in the APD for almost the entire 16 years.

Walt Monegan joined the APD in 1974 and was promoted to APD Chief of Police in February 2001. He served as chief until his retirement around September 2006.

Anchorage Resolution No. AR 2001-364 indicated Detective Linda J. Branchflower was recognized for her almost 16 years of service in the APD by the Anchorage Assembly during the December 18th, 2001 regular session.

In his resume on ADN.com, Mr. Branchflower himself also enjoyed a close relationship with the APD, as a co-founder of the APD Homicide Response Team in 1985, and was commended for his work with the Homicide Response Team by the 16th Alaska Legislature in May 1989.

While the level of personal and professional relationships between Mr. and Mrs. Branchflower and Mr. Monegan has not been determined, the possible conflict of interest should be investigated before Mr. Branchflower continues with the Troopergate investigation of Governor Sarah Palin.

Alaska ‘RAT, Hollis French has already referred to this fiasco as the DemocRATS’ “October surprise” for the Republicans. This whole “investigation” is a joke.

TROOPERGATE, properly speaking, refers to Clinton’s use of Arkansas state police as his personal whoremongers ....

Ice Road Truckers are in Canada.

We do a much better job of trucking on Ice Roads than the Canucks do.

My husband works up there. I can’t believe some of the stuff I see on that show.

The Democrats and their flying monkeys in the drive-by media, are going down this black hole like lambs to the slaughter.

The more they talk about the Arctic Fox, the better she looks to voters.
