Reply #44: Update on that

[DeschutesRiver]

she was scheduled for a depo, agreed to show up for it, and now has refused to do so for a variety of tactical delaying reasons.

First claimed executive privilege, then her lawyer came up what he thinks is a clever trick of having Sarah file an ethics complaint against herself, thus seeking to remove jurisdiction from the panel setup to hear it (bi-partisan, as I understand) and via this ethics complaint, give it to a state personnel board comprised of either people she appointed or that her predecessor appointed, but with whom she has deep connections. So that she can perhaps have control over the result she gets.

Nutshell version as I have understood it (and as a retired lawyer, who admittedly doesn't have all the facts, it just seems to be a boneheaded waste of time, which may end up giving Palin a bad rap for trying to evade the process with which she had at one point agreed to comply).
