What’s most amazing is despite the pile of evidence mounting against real problematic expenditures is a document with no merit, and in fact, more questions…

Gryphen has since corrected that error - see the comments. If you listen to Gretchen Carlson on Countdown, she says several important things: 1. She says John Coale setup the Alaska Fund Trust. I believe this is incorrect, as John Coale actually setup SarahPac. 2. She says 'most' of the legal expenses were paid by the Trust, not 'all'. 3. She did NOT claim that the Trust had paid the travel money back to the state, nor that the Trust had paid the tax owed to the IRS for the per diem income. Pearl89:

According to KO's interview posted on Immoral Minority with Rachel Carlson, she's not paying that either. She said she talked with John Coale who said the repayment of travel monies for the kids, SP/TP's troopergate expense, etc. were paid by the defense fund. SP and TP have so far incurred no out of pocket expenses. http://theimmoralminority.blogspot.com/ I would have more respect for SP, is she just came out and said she wanted to take the millions for the book deal and to do that she decided to resign. I thinks that's the truth instead of all these numerous bogus reasons she keeps spouting. quote AKM, “the biggest chunk of that pie is the governor’s doing and belongs right on the governor’s plate.” According to KO’s interview posted on Immoral Minority with Rachel Carlson, she’s not paying that either.

Not to mention the extra work her staff and other state officers had to put in to make up for her 2+ month absence from the state. Tick tock.

The spokesperson Meg Stapleton works for the PAC, not the Gov. So she's not supposed to be involved w/Govt. stuff. The AFT (Alaska Fund Trust) which is a horrible rip off name, is supposed to be for the former Gov. to pay her "legal" fees, but actually can be used for anything, for her, her family, her friends, etc. BOTH OF THESE FUNDS are funded by the people who support her, regular folks with $ they want to donate. Not a penny out of the Palin's pocket. Hope you see this & it helps!!! Hi Mona (post 267) not sure if you are still online, but I’ll try to answer:

They foisted a virtual unknown on the lower 48. Of course people (ie voters) wanted to know more about the Twidiot of AK. Perhaps the McCain campaign should be billed for the information requests.

He said he overheard her saying more than once, how nice it would be to take the lucrative offerings of either a reality show or book deal. He says he stayed with the Palin family from December to the second week of January. So it would seem to me, Palin quit so she could have financial gain and not for the reasons she stated. In other words, she loves the money and not Alaska. In an article I read, according to Levi Johnston, Sarah Palin, quit for personal financial reasons.
