She was willing to cooperate before she was against it.
But now the the full weight of the "Troopergate" scandal is landing on Palin's hockey hubby, Todd. Says NPR:
The investigation began in July by a mostly-Republican Legislative Council. At the time, Gov. Palin agreed to cooperate. But the McCain campaign said that is no longer possible, because Palin's elevation to vice-presidential candidate has biased the council against her.How about that? Get nominated for VP and you see enemies all around you. Is this how Nixon felt in his last days?
Over at the excellent Mudflats blog, the penelties could come to pass after the election:
Todd, along with other witnesses, can stall without penalty for months, pushing this investigation well past election day. To bring contempt charges, which are punishable by a fine up to $500, or up to six months in jail, the full Legislature must be in session. That happens after Christmas.So no jail time for Todd until after his wife could be sitting pretty (figuratively) in the White House. If the Palins have done nothing wrong, why don't they testify and put this mess behind them?
