The news broke late, but now we have it-- Sarah Palin violated the law.
A legislative investigation has concluded that Governor Palin abused her power in pushing for the firing of an Alaska state trooper who was once married to her sister, or by failing to prevent her husband Todd from doing so.
The report by investigator Steve Branchflower was made public late Friday by a bipartisan 12-0 vote of the Legislative Council, which authorized the investigation.
Branchflower's report contains four findings. The first concludes that Palin violated the state's executive branch ethics act, which says that "each public officer holds office as a public trust, and any effort to benefit a personal or financial interest through official action is a violation of that trust."
"I feel vindicated," Walt Monegan said. "It sounds like they've validated my belief and opinions. And that tells me I'm not totally out in left field."
Not that any of this will be enough to force McCain to drop Palin; but no matter. She's a real drag on the GOP ticket anyway-- so much the better for the majority of Americans who want to see real change this fall.
