Someone should tell ABC that Google is their friend...
"But the problem with Monegan’s charge is.… Todd Palin was *ordered* to talk to Monegan since Wooten was a potential threat against Alaska’s first family."
"Monegan has also raised questions about the propriety of the First Gentleman, Todd Palin, meeting with Monegan right after the Governor was elected to discuss security concerns surrounding a state trooper. That meeting occurred following standard questioning of any newly-elected Governor and First Family members regarding security detail concerns. The First Gentleman was specifically told to meet with Monegan by the Governor’s top security detail, Special Agent Bob Cockrell, to forward serious concerns that were substantiated in an internal trooper investigation. The concerns regarding the trooper included: using a Taser stun gun on his stepson, illegally killing a moose and driving with an open container in his patrol car. The First Gentleman also expressed concern over death threats made against a family member by the trooper.
“When made aware of the security concerns regarding a state trooper, I instructed the First Gentleman to contact the commissioner of Public Safety,” Cockrell said. “It is standard protocol to ask every governor about any threats they perceive or have realized. I will not hesitate to set the record straight in answering these false allegations by former Commissioner Monegan.”
Cockrell, who joined the Alaska State Troopers in 1963, started with the Office of the Governor in 1983, under Governor Bill Sheffield. He is now serving his sixth governor."
So then Mr. Palin was supposed to meet with him and the topic was supposed to be exactly this security issue, and now the dems are pretending this was some terrible event.
What a bunch of stupid crap. I hope Palin is allowed to counterattack on this, the trooper doesn’t deny anything he was punished and America will support her on this.
Do you have a linkable source for that Google quote? It will be needed before Google cleanses the evidence.
Thanks for the info.
I sure hope the McCain/Palin campaign points this out and then asks ABC why they didn't.
