Troopergate

ABC News reported ABC News has exclusively learned that Alaska Senator Hollis French will announce today that he is moving up the release date of his investigation into whether Gov. Sarah Palin abused her office to get the Alaska public safety commissioner, Walt Monegan, fired.
Even though he would not fire an officer that threatened her family.
The results of the investigation were originally scheduled for release Oct. 31 but will now come almost three weeks earlier, according to sources.
That is good. She will have time to rebut any claims in the report before the election.
Alaska state senator Hollis French, who is running an investigation of Gov. Sarah Palin, says the McCain campaign is using stall tactics to prevent him from releasing his final report by Oct. 31st.
I can't imagine why McCain would have wanted the report to come out a week before the election, but it is nice that any attempt to delay it is going to make the Democrat release it early.
The announcement is set for 9 a.m. AKDT time. "It's likely to be damaging to the Governor's administration," said Senator Hollis French, a Democrat, appointed the project manager for a bi-partisan State Senate Legislative Counsel Committee investigation.
Gee, I wonder why a Democrat would release a report damaging to a Republican Governor, particularly one that may well become Vice President.
Palin, who has denied any wrongdoing and has said she has nothing to hide, has hired private lawyers to represent her in the matter.
Good, she is not even asking the State f Alaska to pay for her defense.
