JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Alaska's attorney general says state employees subpoenaed in the investigation of Gov. Sarah Palin will not testify.
In a letter to the Democratic state senator overseeing the investigation, Attorney General Talis Colberg asks that the subpoenas be withdrawn. He also says the employees will not appear before the investigator unless either the full state Senate or the entire Alaska Legislature votes to compel their testimony.

OOOOOOh - I think I felt a tingling in my leg. I want more of this.
Obama and his minions must not play much poker.
It is about time this stupid witch hunt got shut down. This is the same tactic Obama has tried in his other races - trying to force opponents off the ballot.
Sounds like some folks have had enough BS.
Awwww. Doncha just hate it when you throw a lynching party and nobody shows up?
This is a good thing. These employees should not be asked to testify when everyone knows that this is just a fishing expedition by the Alaskan “good old boys” network. Why needlessly open yourself up to “perjury” charges. That’s what a fiasco like this is usually all about anyway. They issue subpoenas when they don’t have anything else.

Great news!
Sorry for the double post. I don’t know what’s going on with this thing.
You don’t play poker in Da Hood. You shoot Craps.
Thank you for posting this article.
I am impressed.
Ooooo Someone blinked!

“Sorry for the double post. I don’t know what’s going on with this thing.”
It’s been happening to everyone. I am sure Jim and staff are working on it. They are installing some new servers to deal with the ever increasing load, and that might be the source of the double posts.
What’s worse is when you throw a lynching party and people show up... except instead of lynching the intended victim, they lynch *you*.
I hope they all tell him to ‘get a life’,,,,or ‘take a hike’!!!
Of course, it will be played up as “Palin is terrified. She has a lot to hide”. It might make more sense if they addressed the issue vocally, exposed it for what it was , and let the public chew on that for awhile. Instead, it will receive just enough exposure and out-of-context attention to make it look like a desperate move on Palin’s behalf by her own “old-boy network” that she left there.

sounds fair to me
Seems like McCain is learning from mistakes Bush made. Bush was all too often willing to cooperate with these things which were obvious witch hunts.
Is it the Alaska AG telling the committee this...or the employees via their lawyers? The article is short on info.
Thanks! I just feel like an idiot when it happens. LOL! I think it’s going to happen with this post too!
also a bunch of Alaska state reps are supposed to file suit to enjoin the dog and pony show. Nice things happen to leaders with 80% approval ratings!
As I asked in the other thread, how in the hell is this kind of show trial witch hunt authorized? It screams conflict of interest light years away. I don’t get it.
“Yuk, Yuk, SNORT”...ping! :-) Stupid dims. :-)
I got the impression it was the Alaska AG on behalf of the employees of the state. Don’t know how Todd Palin would fit into that though.
Looks like the Alaska witch hunt is on indefinite hold.
Slam the door shut on Tasergate!
Sarah wins!
I’m moving to Alaska. Its the only place left in this country where people still have balls.
big moose ones
Just my opinion, but it looks to me like the earlier release of the damaging emails demonstrating insubordination made them realize Gov. Palin would come out of this fully justified.
Killing this now allows them to leave the issue “out there” for the MSM to try to inflict more damage while keeping the truth from coming to light.
I wonder how many times the inference will be made to “troopergate” on MSNBC and how the Governor “got off” and must have been applying more pressure to compel employees not to testify. The issue remains a “seriousness of the charge” issue instead of “vindicated”.
LOL...this is delicious...Alaskans love Governor Sarah Palin...and so do I.
Sounds like a spank to me!
What a heart throb....
Oh, my.
Nothing like passive resistance or non-cooperation to sink a case.
LOL!
This sounds straight out of Fargo, I can hear Frances McDormand as I write this.

Good Lord, they can't take losing.
This will send him over the edge.
Somebody ought to tell their lawyers not to bring a briefcase to a gunfight.
Now it will probably be one of the many "October surprises" we will see from the media in the final week of the campaign.
This is good news, but the RATs can still compel Todd Palin to testify unless their entire inquisition is shut down.
And unless she and McCain go on the offensive against Obama and the MSM, they'll be able to love her as Governor for the rest of her full term.
