You May Have Missed This Yesterday: Palin Cleared in Troopergate Scandal

Funny how this came out mid-day on the day of the election. I’m sure the timing was coincidental. Still putting the spit and polish on it the week prior:

Released Monday, the report says there is no probable cause to believe Palin or any other state official violated the Alaska Executive Ethics Act in connection with the firing. The report was prepared by Timothy Petumenos, an independent counsel for the Alaska Personnel Board.

A separate legislative investigation recently concluded that Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, abused her office by allowing her husband and staffers to pressure the public safety commissioner to fire a state trooper who went through a nasty divorce from Palin’s sister.

Palin says the firing had nothing to do with the trooper.

I’m sure that on one of the biggest news days in American history, that this story had it’s time in the spotlight also.
