Not only that, a judge ruled that her defense fund was illegal. Those lawsuits were mounting up into the millions of dollars, and were threatening to bankrupt her family.
On top of that, they were coming in at such a furious pace that she and her staff weren't able to conduct the people's business.
I'm literally stunned that some on our side are still buying into the left-wing lie that "she's a quitter". They need to read her book, "Going Rogue", to get the facts about her resignation from the Governorship.
What I don’t understand is why, after leaving office, Sarah Palin didn’t use her power, influence, and persuasive skills to have AK amend the law to cover the legal fees and costs of frivolous suits against elected officials.
How do they get anyone clean to run for and hold office in AK so long as one’s political enemies can file suit after suit after suit, and the official is stuck with the costs, even after being cleared.
And, does this apply only for state vs federal elected officials? Could some Republicans start filing suit vs. Begich? Once they drove Sarah out of office, We’ve not heard of any further such suits in AK. Is that because we heard of them only because of Sarah’s fame? Or is it that the whole suit business was dropped once they succeeded against her?
