Troopergate Results Due in Oct.

NYT: ANCHORAGE — The legislative inquiry into whether Gov. Sarah Palin or her administration abused its power in the dismissal of Alaska’s public safety commissioner will release its findings well before Election Day, despite a lack of cooperation by several witnesses, the leader of the inquiry said Friday.

State Senator Hollis French, the Democrat who is overseeing the inquiry, said the special investigator hired by the Alaska Legislature, Stephen Branchflower, had assured him he would issue a report by Oct 10.

McCain Camp: Everyone Out To Get Us

The McCain Palin ticket is working like this: Everyone including the media is out to get us. Palin isn't doing interviews because the media is out to get her.
Palin is not cooperating in her scandal investigation because they say the Obama camp has hijacked the investigation.
Had McCain vetted his partner, he might've known all these things.
CNN: Former Palin Press Secretary Meg Stapleton told reporters in Anchorage that the power probe has been "hijacked" by "Obama operatives" for the Democratic presidential nominee -- namely, Alaska state Sen. Hollis French, the Democratic lawmaker managing the investigation and an Obama supporter. French has denied working on behalf of the Obama campaign.

The Obama campaign described Stapleton's charge as "complete paranoia." It has denied sending campaign staff to Alaska to work with the legislative committee's investigation.

McCain campaign spokesman Ed O'Callaghan said, "I think it's fair to say that the governor is not going to cooperate with that investigation so long as it remained tainted and run by partisan individuals who have a predetermined conclusion," referring to a comment by French this month that the case could produce criminal charges or an "October Surprise" for the GOP ticket.
