Sarah Palin's Legal Fund Faces Ethics Questions
Sarah Palin will take a lot with her when she walks away from the Alaska governor's office next week. Unfortunately for her, it includes a suitcase full of ethics complaints, 19 of them, most filed since she became a candidate for national office and a target for her opponents. Most have been dismissed.
How does one pay the big bucks to defend against such allegations? One forms a Legal Defense Fund. So now we have a new story from the Associated Press that should REALLY gall her.
AP is reporting that a state investigator has determined the instrument that was formed to handle the charges of ethics violations might be an ethics violation itself.
At issue is the Alaska Fund Trust that supporters created to solicit money for Palin. The State Personnel Board says that very process may constitute an improper use of her official position.
Paline spokeswoman Meghan Stapleton said Tuesday, "I cannot verify the validity of this claim. There is no final report. The investigator is still confidentially reviewing this matter. It appears suspect that in the final days of the governor's term, someone would again violate the law and announce a supposed conclusion before it is reached."
The Palin family is not wealthy. Sarah Palin complains she owes more than a half million dollars in legal fees that she simply cannot pay under current circumstances.
She's made no bones about the fact that this barrage of ethics complaints is intolerable, that she can't afford them and shouldn't have to. Certainly, there are much greener pastures out there.
Chances are she's going to be able to make plenty of money. Her problem is she will still be high profile, which means that all those who play the rough game of politics will still be trying to make her life miserable.
Thus far, she has made no comment, which considering how disgusted she is, might be a good thing. "Gosh darn it" just might not suffice.
