Good for her. The LW files 30+ suits against her just to get her to resign as governor. Its about time she returns fire.


Each bogus ethics complaint in Alaska (under the laws at that time in which Gov. Palin was on the hook to pay) would result in about 20k in legal costs. Once a case was dismissed a new one would pop up...and the complaints were downright petty often signed by bogus names. There were NO penalties to those who submitted a false complaint.

To add insult to injury there was even an ethics complaint about her legal defense fund. The prosecutor of the complaint was an former Obama lawyer. The result was that Palin’s lawyers had to rework the verbage of her fund to meet the new requirements forcing her legal team to REFUND the donations. That, along with countless document requests and “friends” running to the tall grass, was the last straw.

According to her husband, they had over 600k in legal bills...and her yearly salary as governor was only 135k.

Also, there was a group of dedicated lefties call the “Alaskan Mud Flats” who openly admitted that their goal was to bankrupt Governor Palin.

One more thing.

To add salt to the wounds, the Alaska ethics laws were changed to tighten up the complaint procedures AND to give a governor access to lawyers (paid by the state).

....but the law was changed SIX MONTHS AFTER Palin left office.

So, yes, I remembering reading all that. It appears that is what the Democrats are trying to do to Trump now. Bringing up bogus allegations, pointless investigations and forcing him and all his staff to retain lawyers, costing them hundreds of thousands of dollars. And its forcing people to abandon Trump. So Palin was a dry run at doing this to a President?
