**Palin Refuses to Meet with Trooper-Gate Investigator**

[President Decider]

How sad .... wonder how the media will find a way to spin this in a positive light for her?

Palin won't meet with 'Troopergate' investigator

Campaign says governor won't cooperate because investigation is 'tainted'
updated 2 hours, 22 minutes ago

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A campaign spokesman says Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin won't speak with an investigator hired by lawmakers to look into the firing of her public safety commissioner.

McCain campaign spokesman Ed O'Callaghan told a news conference Monday that the governor, the Republican nominee for vice president, will not cooperate as long as the investigation "remains tainted." He said he doesn't know whether Palin's husband would challenge a subpoena issued to compel his cooperation.

The campaign insists the investigation has been hijacked by Democrats. It says it can prove Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan was fired because of insubordination on budget issues -- not because he refused to fire a state trooper who had divorced Palin's sister.

1. Let it not be her choice.

Oh I forgot: the bush administration has established that no republican can be coerced into telling the truth under any circumstances. :sarcasm:

2. She "welcomed the investigation" before she didn't....

She's a quick study, that Sarah Palin....

3. Why so scared Palin?

If she's got nothing to hide, what does she care who's running the investigation? People just want the TRUTH.

11. AC360 reporter says McCain camp blaming this on Obama

12. Yes. Obama has operatives on the inside, all the way up in Alaska.

That durn Obama has agents EVERYWHERE!

13. Sarah needs to reform herself before she can reform anyone else or government.

She is sandbagging, stonewalling and obsfucating like the best of the crooks in the old Bush/Cheney Washington crowd.

14. This should not go down quietly....

Refusing to speak to an investigator and there is 3 Rep to 2 dem on the committee. Who is she fooling. No one should let this go away. This of this woman as VP. Will she tell congress that she won't speak to this them until their investigations are no longer "tainted"? If Dem's are her enemies then she better not show her face at the Senate.

Actually, she has pissed alot of Republicans off in Alaska as well. We need to keep the spotlight on this one.

Lies on her stump speech and now refusing to talk to investigators. The Palin effect will be a serious drop in McCain's numbers.
