you do realize that if the trooper(Wooten) had been fired it would have been detremental to her families financesUnfortunately for her the terms of the statute are so broad they encompass the efforts - by her husband who isn't subject to the statute - to get his ex-brother in law kicked out of the Alaska State Troopers. You mentioned omission. Quite right. Again the broad terms of the statute gather her in. She apparently needed to act to stop her husband continuing his actions and she didn't.
Now, putting things in perspective. She won't be charge criminally. Nor should she I think. If she weren't campaigning for VP then anyone hearing this story would make the usual jokes about Alaska (probably the same jokes we make here about isolated areas but with snow instead of sand) then this would be a ripple in Alaska politics. I would go so far as to think that no-one would be thinking about recall let alone impeachment.
But it's all fair game in an campaign process that emphasises character.
I'd like to see that Alaska statute here but there would be no chance of it.
specifically her sister and her nephew
since Wooten would then have been out of work, there would have been no income from which to draw child support
kinda kills that meme
