There is no prosecutor. The lead investigator is a RETIRED public prosecutor, silly child.The prosecutor appointed by unanimous vote of the Alaskan legislature is going to meet on Friday to decide who to issue subpoenas to. He already has audio tapes, emails, and multiple witnesses that will testify that Palin abused her power as governor. She is guilty as hell.
It looks like Little O's supporters have already decided who will and will not be subpoenaed:
Alaska legislators are preparing to issue subpoenas as part of an investigation into Gov. Sarah Palin's handling of the "Troopergate" affair, but Palin herself won't be hit with one.
State Sen. Hollis French, the Anchorage Democrat who is managing the probe into Palin's firing of her former public safety commissioner, said legislators decided not to subpoena Palin as a gesture to calm what has become a tense standoff between the Legislature and the newly minted Republican vice presidential nominee.
"We're trying to de-escalate the situation. We just want the truth, clear the air," French said.
However, legislators still want their investigator to interview Palin.
Legislators also have decided to move up the date for completing their investigation into whether Palin abused her powers as governor by leaning on former Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan to fire a state trooper involved in a messy divorce with Palin's sister.
The Legislature's independent investigator, retired state prosecutor Steve Branchflower, will complete his investigative report on Oct. 10 rather than at the end of October, which would be right on top of the Nov. 4 election.
I'm sure it will be scrumptuous.
Doesn't sound like they share your level of faith; making concessions to "de-escalate" against someone who is supposedly SO-O-O-O guilty even you could see it.
You see, it's not politically viable to be seen trying to smear a govenor with 80+ percent approval ratings and trying to derail her VP campaign...a campaign that has no doubt brought a great deal of pride to the people of Alaska.
It seems Little O's supporters may be fearing an electoral backlash. Mr French--oh, the irony--is surrendering and seeking terms favorable to his own well-being.
