Cohen and Showtime very likely violated the 2013 Stolen Valor act and possibly state laws depending on where it went down.
Could be prison time and a huge cash settlement if Palin is inclined.

Palin appeared on ABC's “Good Morning America” on Friday to talk about the interview Baron Cohen staged for his new Showtime satirical series “Who is America?”
The former governor of Alaska told host Robin Roberts that Baron Cohen showed her “propaganda” about sex changes and transgender people and claimed that Chelsea Clinton was the “recipient of a government-funded sex change.”
“It got worse and worse and worse as the minutes went on in this bizarre, really embarrassing, humiliating interview,” Palin said. “It mocked middle class Americans, it mocked our values, it mocked the disabled.”
Palin said she had had “enough," took off her microphone and walked out of the interview.
“Since then, nobody returns my call,” Palin said, adding that Baron Cohen's producers had given her fake names and described the show as a Showtime documentary. She said the producers reached out to her through a speakers' bureau.
Palin said Baron Cohen was portraying himself as an injured military veteran. “Good Morning America” said that the producers refused to turn over a clip to verify her claim.
ETC...
somebody called her a C**T? on FR? I can’t believe that.

BTW.. 1 thing I have noticed, is that peeps here rarely even reply to my posts anymore :p
It kind of irritates me.. but it is life, move on ;^)
I honestly don’t know where she stands today (she made a wise choice and avoided the ‘fake’ media for several years now..
But, if she came back to run again, I would back her 100%.
Good point, SH. After being bushwhacked by Nicolle Wallace on the campaign trail, and all of her experiences since then, I’m surprised she and her staff/advisors didn’t do a better job of due diligence. Perhaps she’s playing six dimensional chess, i.e. to set up a lawsuit with Showtime.
I’m still waiting for it to go back ;^)
“Given his overall reputation and past behavior, why the hell would anyone agree to an interview with Sasha Baron Cohen?”
Boggles the mind! Are these people that naive... and lazy. Don’t they even take a minute to Google who is interviewing them?
yeah i missed that- i thought FR was a place of Sarah worship. Not being sarcastic.
And you still don't realize Cohen was heavily disguised and went to great lengths to prove he was a real Wounded Warrior to get Palin to leave Alaska.
Yes!! Thank you, Sarah, for standing up and defending our veterans against Sacha boy!
SlimeBall Cohen — and not his little make-believe friend — owes this man, and all veterans, an apology for his cruel and nasty attempt at impersonation of an American hero.
Sarah was kind and gave him a chance, but she wasn’t afraid to call him on his BS once she got a whiff.
I don’t think she’s interested but I’m usually wrong about these things.

He uses fake names. Palin said he represented himself as a wounded veteran. I certainly wouldn’t know him on sight, and I’ve never heard of this “routine” of his.
That seat is not up as of yet. But Sarah no longer has
any AZ ties that would allow her to run.
Of course you were being insulting. You sound like someone who thinks Trump voters SMELL.
I will start pinging you more my friend :)
Thank You so much COBOL2Java, your enthusiasm is infectious. :)

Sarah smelled a rat and isn't letting him get away with smearing our veterans!
Love her.
LOL! :)
