...Remember Scott Richter?

[Robb]

IIRC, the guy was supposed to be having an affair with Sarah Palin... or his wife was having one with Todd... hell, I can't remember.

And the Richters were getting a divorce, and moved to have their proceedings sealed. Everyone thought it was because there was a Palin in there somewheres.

...But according to Alaska Court Records, it looks like the request to seal was denied.

Did anyone ever follow up on this? My Googling kung-fu apparently needs work.

1. That was from almost a year ago -

If there was anything in there, I would think it would be out by now.

...Just, you know, looking for the "oopsie" story. :D

One Palin Mystery Solved

~Snip~

So when the blogosphere discovered today (via an online court docket) that Scott Richter, a Palin associate, personally filed a sealing motion in Alaska Superior Court, well, conclusions were jumped to. Was Sarah Palin named as the other woman in a messy divorce action? Well, since Richter's September 3 motion, a copy of which you'll find below, was denied yesterday, his divorce filings remain open to the public. And a TSG review of the 98-page file shows that the Palins are only mentioned in Richter's sealing request. According to the filing, Richter wanted the documents deemed confidential in a bid to cloak details about his home, workplace, and phone numbers because "reporters and news agencies" were using that information to contact him. Richter, a 39-year-old contractor, noted that he is "friends and land owners in a remote cabin" with the Palins and, as a result, journalists were intruding on the "cabin life and private life" of him and his 11-year-old son.

I believe that one - if he didn't want the press breathing down his neck about the Palins period.

6. CONFUSION ALERT!

Brad Hanson (Todd's partner in snowmobile dealership) is the supposed boyfriend of Sarah. Scott Richter (and ex-wife Debbie) own some land with the Palins. NO accusations of Sarah having affair with Scott - BRAD is the man!
