Todd Palin Thumbs His Nose at the Law -- One More Abuse of Power by the Power Mad Palins

Now Todd Palin, Mister Sarah Palin, has thumbed his nose at a subpoena. The law does not matter to him or his "wonderful" wife. Does it surprise you that a candidate for the party that has shredded the Constitution the last eight years (the REPUBLICANS) would have a husband with little or no regard for the law?

What is more, his plays for influence in state government raises red flags all over the place. In the aftermath of the Walt Monegan firing, (a good man done dirty by Sister Sarah), one question keeps surfacing over and over again; why does the governor's husband, Todd Palin appear to hold so much power? After all, Nancy Murkowski or Susan Knowles (previous Alaska governor's spouses) were never accused of pressuring a commissioner or inappropriately sitting in on meetings that should have been private.

The stories started last year when Representative Ralph Samuels went to a a meeting, he thought would be private, with Governor Sarah Palin. Much to his surprise, Todd Palin was there and proceeded to sit through the entire meeting.Other lawmakers have shared similar stories and were shocked at how inappropriate Todd's presence was at meetings with the governor. Last week, on the Alakan televsion Dan Fagan Show, Representative Jay Ramras mentioned that Todd was working lawmakers offices often during the legislative session.

Most alarming indication of Todd Palin's reach into state government is this: last month, a group of Alaskans filed a freedom of information act for emails sent from the computers of both Frank Bailey and Ivey Frye. Along with several boxes of documents, they received a cover letter along with 78 pages detailing the emails that were not released due to "Deliberative Process and Executive Privilege". The serious concern about these emails is that they were prohibited from being released to the public due to executive privilege, even though Todd Palin was copied on these same emails. Todd Palin is not a member of the executive branch, nor is he even a government employee. Todd Palin is a member of the general public. But he has been the shadow governor of Alaska in a very large way. This shows you how the Palins do business -- secretively, like Cheney-Bush.

Sarah Palin initially welcomed the investigation of accusations that she dismissed the state's public safety commissioner because he refused to fire her ex-brother-in-law, a state trooper. "Hold me accountable," she said.

But she has increasingly opposed it and she has "covered it all up" since Republican presidential candidate John McCain tapped her as his running mate. The McCain campaign dispatched a legal team to Alaska including the McCain campaign's super lawyer Edward O'Callaghan, a former top U.S. terrorism prosecutor from New York to bolster Palin's local lawyer. Mighty high powered help for much ado about nothing. What are they trying to hide with these squash the truth tactics?

Apparently, not only does Sarah Palin abuse her powers, but so does her husband, Todd. Do we want this seemingly power-mad couple just a heartbeat away from the presidency?
