She is in complete cooperation with the investigators.
It seems to me that the commissioner is a bitter old fool. Unfortunately for him, he was an employee of the Palin administration. Alaska is an at-will state. She can fire him for whatever reason she wishes. She fired him because he was not filling empty trooper positions.
In defense of the commissioner, she claims the trooper positions were empty because Wooten was a bad person to be representing the force. AND SHE WAS RIGHT.
Get over it, Kirk. This is hardly a scandal. It will blow over with ease.
"Palin,
who has previously said her administration didn't exert pressure to get rid of trooper Mike Wooten"
She called and emailed the Commissioner personally, and her staff made more than two dozen calls to him about it.
She lied to the public because she knew it was wrong. Then when she was caught, she acted like she didn't know. She is going down.
