So the Palin campaign team produced their own Troopergate Report
clearing them before the official report comes out later. You can't make up this stuff!

Trying to head off any fallout from the report, campaign officials on Thursday said the investigation has falsely portrayed a legitimate policy dispute between a governor and her commissioner as something inappropriate. "The following document will prove Walt Monegan's dismissal was a result of his insubordination and budgetary clashes with Governor Palin and her administration," they wrote.

In affidavits submitted Wednesday, Todd Palin and two Palin aides portrayed the firing as the result of continued wrangling between the governor and Monegan over control of the public safety agency. The affidavits also portray Sarah Palin as uninvolved while her husband repeatedly tried to spread the word that their former brother-in-law, Mike Wooten, was unfit to remain a state trooper.

Todd Palin said he talked to anyone who would listen, but said he never pressured anyone, including his wife. In fact, he says that after repeatedly talking with her about the matter, she finally told him to "drop it."

Todd Palin wrote: "I make no apologies for wanting to protect my family and wanting to publicize the injustice of a violent trooper keeping his badge."
