Sarah Palin not under FBI investigation, agency spokesman says

The former GOP vice presidential candidate's surprise resignation as Alaska governor had set off speculation, including rumors of a pending federal corruption probe or charges.

Reporting from Washington -- A day after Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin resigned, a federal official in her home state dismissed one potential explanation for her sudden and unexpected resignation -- a rumored FBI investigation into the former Wasilla mayor on public corruption charges.

Despite rumors of a looming controversy after Palin's surprise announcement Friday that she will leave office this month, some of them published in the blogosphere, the FBI's Alaska spokesman said the bureau had no investigation into Palin for her activities as governor, as mayor or in any other capacity.

"There is absolutely no truth to those rumors, that we're investigating her or getting ready to indict her," Special Agent Eric Gonzalez said in a phone interview Saturday. "It's just not true."

Gonzalez added that there was "no wiggle room" in his comments that could exclude any kind of probe.

State funding, state returned funds, followed by cuts in teacher and trooper funding due to legal bills accounting for $2,000,000 dollars. All on the back of the working man.

Now how far do you think she will get?

IRS-CID might offer different replies.

Is that what I just read? :shrug:

Then that just confirms Palin is QUITING! She obviously can't handle the heat so she is getting out! I wonder why Obama has not quit considering all the heat he is taking if this is the correct thing to do?

I guess Palin would resign from the Presidency (if elcted) as well if she was under such criticism as not having a valid Birth Certificate, her husband was constantly said to be UnAmerican, she was going to lock up Americans in FEMA Camps, she was a Communist, Socialist & a Facist, and many other valid criticisms that come with the job as leader of the free world?

I really do hope she runs in 2012 as I find her to be very very entertaining! And the comedians love her!!

Well, if there's anyone I can trust more than Sarah Palin, it's the FBI!	EFerrari	Jul-05-09 12:42 AM	#1
