What will be the result of the Sarah Palin corruption investigation?

Settled as Other or none by November 5

Report was released and recommended no charges.

Background:

Many have been surprised by McCain's selection of Governor Sarah Palin for Vice President. She has been Governor for only two years and her public record is relatively thin, but Alaska recently launched an investigation of the Governor's office regarding a possible abuse of power. What will be the result of this investigation?

(Other is also a "both" category, i.e. it would include charges pressed against both Palin and another member of her staff)

Interesting... I'm going to research this...

I like this comment from the article:
"One thing I have learned campaigning against her in 2006," said Halcro, "I have a high respect for her and secondly, I've learned you never underestimate her."

Troopers found four instances in which Wooten violated policy, broke the law, or both:

-Wooten used a Taser on his stepson
-He shot a moose without a permit, which is illegal. At the time he was married to McCann, who has a permit but never intended to shoot it herself.
-He drank beer in his patrol car on one occasion.
-He told others that his father-in-law - Palin's father, Chuck Heath - would "eat a f'ing lead bullet" if he helped his daughter get an attorney for the divorce.

Palin released a recording of a phone call in which one of her aides (Frank Bailey) pressured a trooper lieutenant to fire Wooten.

Palin has put Bailey on paid administrative leave during the investigation. She said she never asked Bailey to make that call.

This is a cool interview from a non-republican standpoint.
