Investigator seeks to subpoena Todd Palin
Probe also wants to subpoena 13 witnesses, key Palin aide

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The investigator looking into whether Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin abused her power in trying to fire her former brother-in-law is asking state lawmakers for the power to subpoena Palin's husband, Todd.

The probe has taken on new significance since Republican presidential candidate John McCain picked Palin as his running mate.

Retired prosecutor Stephen Branchflower asked the state House and Senate judiciary committees for power to subpoena 13 witnesses, including Todd Palin. The committees were expected to grant the request.
Branchflower said he wants to interview Palin herself, but did not ask for a subpoena for her.

1. Now Charlie really has to go there

[justiceischeap]

2. I think Charlie's done. (eom)

[BeyondGeography]

5. Without any questions on her actual record?

I thought there were three parts to this...correct me if I'm wrong, anyone.

On edit: There are three interviews: http://news.bostonherald.com/news/national/politics/2008/view/2008_09_12_With_Sarah_Palin_at_the_plate__Charlie_Gibson_throws_hard/srvc=home&position=0

18. What I meant was that he was done with the interview. I think it was one sit down. n/t

[cliffordu]

3. Ladies and gentlemen... This is really going to be funny...... HAHAHAHAHAH

:rofl:

[Bigleaf]

4. The 1st question is: Will the lawmakers issue the subpoenas? Question 2: If they do, will Palin

somehow get this pushed pack until after the election?

[flpoljunkie]

6. Her lawyer has indicated he will be moving to quash the subpoenas. You can bank on it.

[leftynyc]

10. Then we need to find the clip/article

where she stated she would fully cooperate. Or do a "what does she have to hide" ad.

[Ikonoklast]

16. Yep. It's 'Lose/Lose' in the options department for Palin

Either come clean and take your lumps, or "What are you trying to hide, Sarah?".

[Joanne98]

7. Will the "first dude" claim executive privilege? lol

[AlCzervik]

8. hmm, i wonder if he'll plead the 5th?

[Shine]

9. This shit's comin' to a head., people. Emails went to hubby and shouldn't have.

Of course her attorneys will attempt to quash the subpoenas.......but what are they gonna do, claim "executive privilege" for her hubby?

:rofl:

[leftynyc]

12. That's why her "executive privilege"

argument will fall flat.

[SuperTrouper]

14. Yup Yup Yup!! First Dude is in for a surprise!! McStalin will be so sorry

to have picked up Sarah Lard-in as his VP

[gademocrat7]

11. good

[Bullet1987]

13. How many people want to bet the MSM won't cover this and will barely mention it

I RAISE MY HAND!

[Kalyke]

15. Good.

Maybe we'll finally see Caribou Barbie appear somewhere without her Driller Ken Doll.

:eyes:

[Straight Shooter]

17. I'd like to see a 527 ad showing four years of Palin and her hubby under investigation.

The phone rings at 3 a.m. in the vice presidential home ... "Damn, Todd, it's another investigator!"

See them sneaking around with newspapers in front of their face, hiding from the deputy who's trying to serve the latest subpoena.
