Sarah Palin emails: 'God's got all this in control'On March 11, 2008, Tom Irwin, then the commissioner of the Department of Natural Resources, writes Palin: "I was just listening to the news about the NY governor. It started me thinking about the trip to Barrow, the FBI letting you know about the legis's arrests, and about your comments on how we have such a responsibility to do things right. Wanted to let yo know that I was praising the Lord for you and asking Him to bless richly. God bless. Tom." Palin responds to Irwin: "Thank you so much Tom. I'm very thankful for you and the team you've put together. God's got all this in control as we give it up to Him! Bless you and Sharon and the kids." UPDATED 5:46 p.m. In a February 2007 exchange, a Palin adviser recommends that, when she is in Washington, she meet Pete Rouse, who was Obama’s chief of staff when he was in the Senate and served briefly in the same job at the White House. “He’s now chief-of-staff for a guy named Barack Obama,” the aide wrote. The aide relayed information that Rouse “wants to help Alaska however he can,” and also had predicted Palin would win election to governor. Palin responded: “I’m game to meet him.” UPDATED 3:30 p.m.: Emails released by the state reinforce the notion that Sarah Palin, during her time as the state's governor, used a political corruption scandal to set herself apart from her predecessor, Frank Murkowski. Bill Allen, the founder of VECO Corp., an Alaska-based oil contractor, was indicted in May 2007 for bribing state lawmakers. The next day Palin sent an email to an aide asking for help to tie Allen's corruption to Murkowski, the former governor who she had defeated about nine months earlier in the state GOP primary. "FYI -- I've asked Frank Bailey to help me track down (some) evidence of past administration's dealing with Bill Allen," Palin wrote on May 8, 2007, according to CNN. (Bailey has since written a critical book about his time working for Palin.) CNN reports: Palin aides replied that VECO had paid $15,000 to fly Frank Murkowski and Allen to a Council of State Governments meeting in Thailand in 2004. Palin aides also asked Allen to resign from a seat on a state board that cultivated ties with the Canadian province of Alberta, a request to which Allen -- who was later sentenced to three years in prison -- quickly agreed. UPDATED 2:30 p.m.: Two March emails reveal a bit of conflict between Palin and Exxon Mobil Corp., with one dated March 7, 2007, from Sen. Lisa Murkowski's energy spokesman that says the CEO of Exxon was "slamming" Alaska in an analyst meeting. In another email dated March 12 of the same year, Palin addressed a rumor that she was actively attempting to prevent Exxon Mobil Corp.'s attempts at an Alaska natural gas pipeline. Rather, she mentions that she is in support of any Alaska gasline to reduce federal involvement in Alaska energy policy. She also said that "...Exxon does not have to be such stinkers to us in the press...Exxon has a duty to develop, etc." UPDATED 1 p.m.: On Sept. 15 2008, Bill McAllister, then a spokesman for Palin after working for KTUU Channel 2, writes to Palin with a laundry list of press inquiries, questions ranging from how she's governing while campaigning to use of personal e-mail accounts to the tanning bed at the governor's house to Troopergate subpoenas to whether she believes dinosaurs and humans coexisted at the same time. In this email, McAllister accuses Anchorage Daily News reporter Lisa Demer of "secretly taping me" during an exchange about the personal email accounts, and accuses Daily News reporter Kyle Hopkins of attempting to "sandbag commissioners" on talking about how state government could possibly work with Palin on the road. He concludes his email with "I continue to be dismayed at the media." Palin writes back: Not much yet as it seems looking to tie an enemy to a criminal is common. Sarah didn't think much of her Doctors visits and she would know best as she knew she was at risk. Sarah saw how saying God can get you votes and using Religion worked for so many other law makers why not her. With so much time to make sure nothing was availble that would prove crimiinal let's hope nothing slipped in comes to light. These are not the words of a quitter. These are the words of a woman who saw terrorism and decided its time to go to our nations Capital. God has her back. You might consider analyzing these two unredacted Palin/staff emails: http://www.crivellawest.net/palinAll/pdf/11570.pdf "Dr CBJ" "contacted me personally last wk on this"..."it was ironic because she was going to call today about this". Most weird: the Palin aide would have to give [Dr CBJ] "...your email address so she can get you the info". Supposedly Cathy Baldwin-Johnson (Dr CBJ) would have been seeing Gov. Palin on a twice-monthly or even every-week basis anyway to monitor Palin's alleged pregnancy, by then, allegedly in the 6th month of gestation, known to be high-risk: 1. advanced maternal age (over 35; Palin was 44) You'd think Dr. CBJ and the "expectant mom" Gov. would have each other on speed dial, and the Gov's email address would be well known to Dr. CBJ. Burke, Coyne ATTACK! You're good at it. Could drive her into office. It's amazing the stuff that people are writing on these apparent news sites that are digging through her e-mail. From HuffPost- "Palin's Chief of Staff Sean Parnell.." CNN only now noticed Palin and Frank Murkowski are totally not best buddies and MSNBC morphed the Murkowskis into one person. Fact check before writing or speaking, newsies!Or at least Google! Nothing Ive read so far shows anything but how involved she was in exposing corruption. I believe she was right to set her compass towards the Murkowski admin and Bill Allen. Maybe there will be enough evidence to finally help people see how much she did to out the government officials who took bribes to pass legislation for the oil companies. They withheld and redacted any information that was relevant and that could send her to prison, but they left names,email addresses, and physical addresses of all of her critics. http://www.politicususa.com/en/sarah-palin-critics-info A team of Palin (and successor gov) appointed lawyers and paralegals have spent the past two and a half years eliminating and redacting content of these emails. FOI request was made at the time Palin was announced as McCain's running mate. "...whomever must have officially entered the resident" Yikes. I'd have been upset, too. I hope this means the end of this fraudulent quitter. Amanda, I hope you folks are keeping your eyes peeled. For 3-4 years I've been looking for that now famous Palin deposition she said she would release from troopergate....Who knows, maybe this is the stack she put it in....Okay, maybe not. But hey, its worth a try...If you find it in this "stack of stuff" I'll buy you and Jill dinner. And, unlike Palin, I'll keep my word. Good Hunting. |
