Where were all these investigations and reviewings when Obama was running for President?

Not to mention all the other politicians out there. Imagine if they’d combed through Weiners emails, for instance....

Sarah isn’t even running....it’s hilarious how much in a dither these tools are over her.

[Glenn]

I just read that the emails will be in paper format and will be sifted through for interesting content.

This is gonna take a while.

[Dengar01]

If they got these they clearly got them illegally. Sarah Palin is no moron (yes MSM you can troll all you want she can run rings around you)!

I think there should Congressional Investigation. I think Darrell Issa should investigate this. This is a complete invasion of privacy.

[I still care]

They’ve got to get rid of her. She’s far too dangerous to them.

I’m waiting for their encouragement of the release of the Obama emails, and for people to comb through them to find something to “investigate”.

[glock rocks]

Excellent, Calusa, bears repeating.

Ok... this is getting ridiculous. It’s bad enough that the country’s most prominent newspapers are begging for activists to sort through these emails to find any possible “dirt” (what ever happened to the newspapers actually being able to do their own research?), but must we allow ourselves to be ragged down to this level with the whole “live thread” thing?

[kevkrom]

I haven’t been following this very closely so my question is, is this a normal release of information? I mean, is there anything unusual about this (minus the media excitement)? Does Alaska usually release previous Governor’s correspondence, emails, etc, after a certain amount of time? I’m still struggling to figure out what the big deal here is.

They're being released pursuant to an FOIA request (or whatever the state equivalent is).

[Jo Nuvark]

LSM will regret their decision to “out” Palin’s
emails. My prediction is their content will
persuade more liberals to step out of darkness
and into the light.

My Opinion.

[supremedoctrine]

When I first caught wind of this ‘story’ a few days ago, I had no idea except the obvious one, of what this was about>
Now it looks like the obvious one, the potential for criminalizing normal political discourse and communication, might be all there is behind it. BUT on what legal basis is this even possible, the requisitioning of years of emails?
On whose authority, and to prove WHAT???

Journalism has finally died. RIP.

This reminds me of when McCain announced her as VP candidate-and all hell broke loose in the form of a mass exodus by the media and the Dems to Wasilla to get the goods on Sarah.Then there were the frivolous,bogus ethics claims against her,one after another,until she was forced to resign her governorship.It's a redux,a herculean effort to get her to abandon any ideas about running.They're trying to spook her,and what they fail to realize is that she only gets stronger,more admired and more popular with every desperate move they make.She's been down this road before and has survived a lot politically. She's taken some major knocks and just keeps getting up to fight harder.There will be a point where even the lowest of the low will realize they can't drag her down and will concede defeat.Might not be until the end of her first term,but they will eventually have to admit failure!!

[glock rocks]

On whose authority, and to prove WHAT???

You need look no further to find proof that this administration knows Palin can destroy them. They are pulling out all the stops.

I’m so glad she’s irrelevant. /s

LOL!

Big Journalism's suggestion

[dforest]

Just deleting them doesn’t get rid of them. They are still in the computer for quite awhile.

[Jo Nuvark]

I recall McCain released Palin’s TROOPERGATE emails
during their 2008 campaign. This is nothing new.

I am sure we will be getting the releases of the emails/correspondences of Pawlenty, Gingrich, Romney, Santorum, soon, too.

Well,,,, you got one thing right; “Sarah Palin is no moron.” Ya blew the rest though! Official emails. FOIA request. Well,,,, two things; “ she can run rings around” the Press, is also correct.
