E-mails: Palin moved to tie oil scandal to ousted rival
cnn.com ^ | June 10, 2011 | Matt Smith

Posted on 06/10/2011 1:26:40 PM PDT by Berlin_Freeper

The day after Allen's guilty plea, Palin sent e-mails to staffers asking for information on his ties to her predecessor, Frank Murkowski. Palin had beaten Murkowski in 2006 in a primary battle in which she campaigned as a reformer and backed an unsuccessful 2010 challenge to Murkowski's daughter, U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski.

Aides soon replied that VECO had paid $15,000 to fly Murkowski and Allen to a Council of State Governments meeting in Thailand in 2004. Palin aides also asked Allen to resign from a seat on a state board that cultivated ties with the Canadian province of Alberta, a request to which Allen -- who was later sentenced to three years in prison -- quickly agreed.

What is going on here is disgraceful and who will stand up to it. We’ll see.

Palin was acting on a conviction to stamp out residual corruption which was accomplished to some degree when the crook resigned.

The MSM is engaged in a fishing expedition trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill for political attacks to benefit Obama.

So unless you can show the MSM scrutiny of Obama to this same level then you have no point.

Does anybody know why these e-mails were released? Was there a lawsuit, did Sarah herself authorize it? Did political opponents leak them?

Why are we seeing this private governmental communications being revealed, and why now? Can we also get access to all of Obama’s records?

And the MSM has the audacity to ask for readers to volunteer to help go through Palin’s e-mails.

In any fishing expedition, you will find something. I predict that the MSM and Hollywood idiot comedians, even those on MSNBC, will magnify any issues found, any misspellings, etc. and simply ignore anything which shows Sarah Palin doing her job as governor. They will ignore any actions she took that liberals would agree with, while hyperventilating and manufacturing mock outrage about any matters which can make Sarah look bad.

Why would the MSM take such interest in the official records of a former governor of a state, a governor who is now a private citizen?????

Wow, how can the media justify running like fools to grab anything they can get and generating biased stories with literally only minutes of time to analyze (if that)?

It’s only wrong when it’s a liberal being exposed by a conservative. Never the other way around....

I just read the comments on Yahoo regarding this story. I was shocked to see an overwhelming amount of comments regarding the bias in the media and the way the blatantly cover for Obama and attack her. I don’t think they realize how much sympathy she is garnering as a result of this. The double standards are glaring. In their zeal to bury her they are outing themselves to the point that even Dems are noticing.

from the article:
VECO had paid $15,000 to fly Murkowski and Allen to a Council of State Governments meeting in Thailand in 2004

Thailand ... okay ... could this be what it could be? More digging is necessary. This could be big on the democRATS and RINOs.

I’m not sure I want Palin to run for President yet...but this is just ridiculous. Every politician uses strategies like this! And her’s actually have at least some merit.
Obama tries to paint every one of his political opponents as a racist for goodness sakes.

I’m loving this. It is a good thing for the citizens of Alaska to be reminded that Dems and crooked Pubbies set out to destroy a damned good governor

Unlike the democrats who smear first and then look for evidence, Palin looked for evidence first.

And how exactly is this supposed to make Gov. Palin look bad? The strained grammatical construction of the article makes cnn look worse.

So the entire world gets to read through former Governor Palin’s emails, but former Governor Blago can’t get or play copies of his own damn recorded conversations to defend himself against criminal charges.
