First, she bashes the "media" for the Duggar girls interview - Fox had them exclusively. Either Palin didn't know this or was actually calling out and shaming Megyn Kelly.
Then she let this one rip:
“The release of these confidential records is, it’s tragic, it’s illegal, it’s unethical,” Palin said. “Why isn’t the dialogue going right now towards ‘Hey, let’s get that law enforcement official he or her who released this file. It was confidential.’”
“You know it was for political reasons,” Palin said.
I guess the Freedom of Information act has caused her so much trouble in the past, she just now defaults to thinking it's a crime to, you know, follow the law.

It was a crime, you Nazi asshole. Juvenile records are confidential. They always have been.
apparently josh was not a juvenile when the record was created, he was 18....
What was wrong, is the police who released the record due to the freedom of information act request, should have redacted any and all info that could identify the victims.
The goalposts keep moving.
When the story first broke he was 14.
Now we've gradually moved it up to 18.
This time next week someone else will try to say it happened this past March
I don't think I've read that this happened when he was 18 yrs old, just that the police report and investigation of his wrongful actions were not reported until years later, when he was 18.
Be that as it may, it would still remain a juvenile matter.
Seems like it should have been kept private, since it happened when he was a juvenile, but I have not kept up on this story regarding that part, and why the PD attorneys felt the PD had to make this freedom of information act release? what was their interpretation of the law on this and why?
I certainly DO NOT at this point think that this was anything political on the PD'S release of this information as is being implied by the Right Wing...though the freedom of information act request was certainly politically motivated, it seems? But that is not the Police Department's doing....
Does it appear that the PD made a mistake in releasing the info, from my current knowledge and view, Heck Yeah!
Does this take away from what Josh did as a juvenile, to his younger siblings? Heck No! this was not, curiosity of another human form of a 4-7 yr old.... this was something that Josh KNEW, beyond any doubt, was wrong...ALL 14 year olds ARE mentally developed enough to know this at 14/15.... Just think of yourself at that age...I thought I knew everything there was to know about life at 15....I was obviously wrong on that, but I certainly knew, right from wrong.....so, again in my humble opinion, there is more behind this "story" than the eye can see, like....Josh himself could have been a victim of abuse when he was younger?
Regardless, I hate these kind of things being aired publicly, and I am as guilty as all who have participated in these kind of threads on speculating on what has happened......I even hated the affairs of Clinton being publicized, who was an adult....I just don't think it is any of my business and it makes it harder for the people hurt, like Hillary and Chelsea, or the girl victims in the Dugger family....to heal.
