		<description>The ease with which the Palin people lie about matters of clear public record is beyond pathological.

Perhaps on Sunday,  at the  time of the Queen&#039;s abdication of the throne, mudpups  across the USA and around the globe should symbolically join hands and sing an appropriate farewell-  my personal favorite: &quot;Ding Dong the Witch is Dead&quot;.</description>

		<description>From Cole: I want to be clear on a point that has been misrepresented: The Governor is not and was not involved with the Trust. The Governor has never worked on or with the Trust.
================================================
In light of THE EVIDENCE that the GOVERNOR EXPRESSLY AUTHORIZED THE CREATION OF THE TRUST and the FACT that THE WEBSITE QUITE OPENLY USES THE GOVERNORS POSITION TO SOLICIT DONATIONS, there is probable cause to believe that;

GOVERNOR PALIN USED, OR ATTEMPTED TO USE, HER OFFICIAL POSITION FOR PERSONAL GAIN ……..IN VIOLATION OF ALASKA STATUTE……39.52.120(a)
=================================================
Word play here...............Cole...........on or with the trust..........that is NOT what the report says at all.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch.....Palin certainly DID work on AND with the trust:

Go to link to see photo of thank you note from Palin (first discovered by eyeonyou ? I think)
=================================================
Kristan Cole:

&quot;The first and only time I have spoken with the Governor about the Trust was yesterday to alert her that I was responding to this violation of the law and leak of preliminary and confidential materials from the complainant.&quot;

If Kristan Cole never spoke to $arah Palin about the Trust until yesterday, how did the governor obtain the names and addresses of donors so she could send them handwritten thank you notes?

Did somebody leak this information to $arah behind Kristan&#039;s back???

As there were no disbursements from the fund whatsoever, did the governor pay for the cards, envelopes and postage out of her own pocket? (ha ha ha ha ha ha ha)

Some grateful donors show off their good fortune on Sarah Web Brigade:

Alaska Fund Trust - Navy Vet Gets a Thank You

Navy veteran and Alaska citizen Mark Bowers (follow Mark on Twitter) received a pleasant surprise after he donated to the Alaska Fund Trust to preserve the integrity of the Governor&#039;s Office of the State of Alaska. His donation helps to cover the legal expenses of defending against the frivolous complaints filed against Governor Sarah Palin. She surprised him with a personally written thank you note from the governor herself.

		<description>1.  Final?

From Cole:  Because [Daniel&#039;s] initial review was unprecedented and contained factual errors it was my understanding that Governor Palin’s legal team, including Mr. Van Flein, were in ongoing discussions with Mr. Daniel.  The matter was not final.

And this, from NPR

But Daniel said his report was final.
=============================================

Poor little Cole and those pesky fact thingies. Wow, Palin has a &quot;legal team&quot; now, not just Van Fleabag! Better set up another fund quick!
Cole is saying that Daniel is lying, report not final. Boy that lying Daniel guy better smartin&#039; up. Geez.
=============================================
From Cole:  I want to be clear on a point that has been misrepresented: The Governor is not and was not involved with the Trust. The Governor has never worked on or with the Trust.
============================================
The report says otherwise, states it as fact and the information came from.....Cole!..........and the website.

And  Cole is accusing Daniel of lying AGAIN! 

This part of the report gives Palin no wiggle room whatsoever, it is as clear as crystal AND final.




From the report:
http://media.adn.com/smedia/2009/07/21/14/Legal%20Defense.22542.source.prod_affiliate.7.pdf
=================================================
According to the funds website, it was created by Kristen Cole and other supporters of the governor who believe the governor should not have to personally pay for legal fees incurred in defending against a series of ethics complaints.

I interviewed Ms.Cole, who confirmed that she and other supporters of the governor came up with the idea of soliciting contributions to pay the governors legal fees.Ms.Cole also stated that she and other supporters set up the Alaska Fund Trust.

She also stated however, that THE GOVERNOR GAVE HER APPROVAL TO CREATE THE TRUST as the &quot;OFFICIAL LEGAL DEFENSE FUND for the governor and AUTHORIZED THE USE OF HER PHOTOGRAPH ON THE TRUST&#039;S WEBSITE. 

In light of THE EVIDENCE that the GOVERNOR EXPRESSLY AUTHORIZED THE CREATION OF THE TRUST and the FACT that THE WEBSITE QUITE OPENLY USES THE GOVERNORS POSITION TO SOLICIT DONATIONS, there is probable cause to believe that;
