Is This The Palin Affair Smoking Gun?!?!?!
Scott Richter Palin:Todd Palin Business Partner Emergency Motion

NewsSpreadit.org
By Dylan
Sep 5, 2008 in US News




Todd Palin’s former business partner, named Scott .A.Richter who allegedly had an affair with Sarah Palin filled an emergency motion to seal his divorce records but it was denied.

The Palins own few undeveloped properties on the Safari Lake and Big Lake, AK in Alaska in partnership with Scott A. Richter and his ex-wife Debbie under “Richter Investments LLC.”.Debbie Richter was Palin’s campaign treasurer. Richter was awarded a job as the Director of the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend Division for her service.The State of Alaska gives its citizens “free money” checks every year out of this fund.

This “free money” comes from oil royalties collected and investments. The Fund is currently worth $35 billion.Under Sarah and Debbie’s leadership in 2006, all Permanent Fund claims from residents (you have to make a claim for your check) were lost in a computer data entry failure. According courtrecords.alaska.gov:

So Debbie Richter has control of all that money, huh?

And what are her qualifications for that huge responsibility, I wonder?

5. I have no clue what's going on, but there are two different
names floating around. Both of those names can't be right.

10. Wait wait wait... Connect the dots for me here.
So Palin and the husband of her Treasury secretary have an affair. How is this related again to the missing names/money? Or are they related? IS there missing money from the fund?

31. Sounds like what happened to Cindy during the Keating 5, she lost paperwork too
By 1991, Cindy had been addicted to narcotics for at least two years. She stole drugs from her charity and forged prescriptions for four to five hundred pills at a time. Cindy has blamed her drug addiction on two back surgeries and stress from Keating Five scandal. (She was the bookkeeper who "lost" the cancelled checks for thousands of dollars in Keating-related expenses.)

11. Richter isn't the one the NE accuses of having an affair with Palin.
His wife had an affair with someone else, which led to Todd Palin firing him or something. I don't know. Those wacky Alaskans.

16. Details
Edited on Fri Sep-05-08 05:51 PM by dotcosm
emphasis and ed: comments mine



Bitney grew up with the governor, often telling the story of being in the same band class. He served as her Issues Coordinator during her successful gubernatorial campaign in 2006, spokesman for her transition team after the election and on December 1, 2006 he was named her Legislative Liaison.

(snip)

But John Bitney made the fatal employment mistake; he got on the bad side of Todd Palin.

In June of 2007, it became known that Bitney was dating the soon to be ex-wife (ed: Deborah Richter?) of Todd Palin's good friend (ed: Scott Richter?). Palin reportedly began demanding that Bitney be fired.

(snip)

His call was then transferred into Tibbles who told him the proposal they talked about was a no deal and the governor ordered him fired immediately. John Bitney was never given a reason why he was fired and never given a chance to make a graceful exit.

18. The permanent fund is FROM OLD ROYALTIES
This fund was established by Jay Hammond many years ago, during the pipeline days. A portion of the huge excess of money due to oil royalites was invested in the STOCK MARKET and all citizens get a dividend every year depending on how the stock market does. It is actually a five year average that determines the divident. Very little of it is dependent upon MODERN oil royalties,

30. No way., It is Julia Louis Dreyfus.
They do not even know enough to point out that the other pic of her in the short skirt is photoshopped. I think that site is real junk.
