More Palin Lies: The Trooper in 'Troopergate' Breaks His Silence
According to Wooten, Palin and her father, Chuck Heath Sr., have "interfered with my life--and my children's lives--for at least the last five years. And it is still going on. I'm done with it."

Partially disabled from his military service, Wooten pointed out that neither Todd nor Sarah Palin, or Chuck Heath for that metter, served in the armed forces. Wooten said he was particularly "disgusted and incensed" by Palin's "insincere" dedication in Going Rogue to "our men and women in uniform."

Wooten further noted with irony that many of those who have been victimized by Palin during her political career--including former Wasilla police chief Irl Stambaugh; Monegan and himself--were all veterans. "Sarah is only about Sarah," Wooten said. "She doesn't care about the 'men and women in uniform.' It's all about advancing Sarah's career."

4. All the charges in those incidents were made by family members

and close friends.

That's why trooper-gate became an issue. It appears to have been a vendetta backed by Palin.

From the OP:

In an interview conducted in Alaska this past summer, John Cyr, the former Alaska Public Safety Employees Association Executive Director, confirmed Wooten's charges:

Not one complaint has ever been made about Mike Wooten's professional performance from any member of the public other than the Palin/Heath family and their closest friends. The troopers that I've talked to that have worked with Mike tell me Mike is the kind of guy they'd go through a door with. That he does his work. He's a professional. You know, just no complaints out there about Mike's work.
"It's the product of an ugly divorce and custody battle," Cyr said of the complaints against the State Trooper. "It's nothing more than that."

5. It's still an offiicial complaint, and it still stands.
This is just about the only issue I can think of where Palin is in the right. No good can come of trashing her over it.

8. Remember the head of the state police resigning because he felt he was
being pressured by Palin?

I think there's good reason to think that anyone involved in deciding Wooten's case underwent the same pressure.

9. Or maybe the "old boys club" was protecting one of its own.
