Palin Campaigned Years For Firing Trooper!

Todd Palin talked with more than a dozen government officials, many of them repeatedly in his crusade to get a soldier who fired it be regarded as a bad cop, a dishonest person and a threat Palin for the family, according to his sworn statement given Wednesday to legislative investigator.

The 25-page declaration Governor Sarah Palin her husband, in response to questions asked by the investigator, Todd shows that the efforts of the Palin began before his wife became governor and accelerated during the first 19 months of his administration.

Todd Palin leading the campaign against his former brother-State Trooper Mike Wooten, who had divorced sister of the governor in 2006 and who is involved in a fight over custody.

Two investigations - one by the Legislature and one by the state employees pension - are underway to see if Gov. Palin or members of his administration abused their powers for Wooten cooking, and if their efforts have resulted in the removal of the governor's commissioner of public safety, Walt Monegan, in July.

The Legislature ordered the investigation in late July and until this week Todd Palin and officials of the administration of Governor resisted subpoenas say what they know about Troopergate. Palin's statement Wednesday followed a state judge last week refused to invalidate the subpoenas. The Daily News has obtained the statement by Thomas Van Fleiner, a lawyer Todd and Sarah Palin.

In his statement, Palin is unapologetic about its efforts to obtain Wooten fired, but he said he did not think that these efforts have nothing to do with Monegan dismissal. He said that his understanding is that Monegan lost his job because of a dispute with the governor and his staff on budgetary matters and the inability to fill vacancies soldier. "

He also suggested there was bad blood between the governor and Monegan on two other issues:

• An investigation of the governor Monegan whether it failed once to his trip, his child in a car seat as she was driving.

• The unavailability of the state aircraft soldier for the governor to use when traveling to Bush.

On the car seat, Monegan sent an e-mail to the governor 30 days before June 12, he lost his job, who said: "In a soon-to-be-legislator to retire, we received a complaint which you conduct Trig not in a car seat, if so it would be inconvenient in many ways. "

The governor responded to his private e-mail: "I have never driven anywhere without triggering a new car seat approved. I want to know who said no - pls give me this information now. "

Todd Palin, in his sworn statement, said it was a "false rumor" and that the governor was a passenger in a truck, on a private farm road without traffic at low speeds. "

On the plane soldier, "It seems that whenever Sarah need this plan, it was not available," said Todd Palin. "We were concerned that the Department of Public Safety was retaliation against Sarah for the sale of the jet Murkowski that the Department of Public Safety have the assistance of officials. " In 2007, the governor has sold a jet his predecessor, Frank Murkowski, bought in a controversial contempt of the Legislature.

In his statement, Palin repeatedly discusses his quest to get Wooten dismissed, but said he never said Monegan Wooten ignited. He said Wooten threatened Palin's stepfather, intimidation of persons as a soldier, drove in his private car after drinking, improperly used his private car to commute his children and falsified a worker to the request of compensation. Wooten was suspended for five days in 2006 after troopers investigated complaints against him.

"We have had many conversations about a guy who threatened my family and verbally assaulted my daughter. We talked about my concerns. We talked about Wooten possibly shoot one of my children for their part, as launch a bag of dope in the back seat just to establish a Palin, "he said of his conversations with Palin aid.

"I had hundreds of conversations and communication on the Cavalier Wooten in the past few years with my family, friends, colleagues, and with almost everybody I could - including government officials" , Said Palin.

"I spoke to both Wooten over the years that my wife told me to stop talking with her."

He said taking his concerns to Monegan it was following the instructions of ordinary citizens complain about the troupe.

"There is absolutely nothing wrong on lodging concerns about Cavalier Wooten Monegan or with his predecessor - State of complaints about the troupe are expected to go to the Commissioner," he said.

"I make no apology for wanting to protect my family and want to publicize the injustice of a violent soldier keeping his badge and abuse of workers' compensation. The real investigation should be conducted for the general public interest is the Ministry of Public Security's refusal to discipline its own. "
