Alaska State Trooper Says Officials Delayed Arrest In Sherry Johnston Drug Case Due To Sarah Palin's Candidacy

No, R. Donald Snyder.

Sherry L. Johnston would have been arrested after the elections if McCain/Palin won.  There is nothing for Sarah Palin to be embarrassed about.  Sarah is not related to this woman. 

Actually, she's GOING to be related.  They will be in-laws.  They will share a grandchild.

Isn't that sweet?

that is a very good point, i did not think of that, why Mr Obama was pallin around with the terrorist, who was she pallin around with, her child's mother inlaw.

JERRY COLEMAN

And she was sleeping with someone who was a member of a party that advocated leaving the US. Her husband.

"So I guess that if Americans were stupid enough to have elected McCain/Palin then she'd never have been arrested for fear of embarrassing Palin?"

Yup. But not to protect Palin personally, to protect the office and what she represents.

Are you implying that politicians and our government might be corrupt?

:)

UUUMMMM, what do you think?

"No, R. Donald Snyder.

Sherry L. Johnston would have been arrested after the elections if McCain/Palin won.  There is nothing for Sarah Palin to be embarrassed about.  Sarah is not related to this woman. "

Are you kidding???   This means Sarah Palin is palling around with Drug Pushers!

Studiusbagus,

You can't choose your daughter's boyfriend much less your daughter's BF's mother but you can choose your pastor.  I just hope that pastor is not same raving lunatic who regularly spews out venom about his own country unlike, say, Rev. Wright.

You can also choose whose house you want your candidacy for the Illinois State Senate launched from.  I just hope that the home owner is not somebody who bombed police stations in the not too distant past unlike, say, Bill Ayers.

You can also choose who the co-buyer of your house will be.  Hopefully, this co-buyer will not be convicted of fraud and bribery unlike, say, Tony Rezko.

Amazing, how any thread that says anything at all uncomplimentary about Palin attracts somebody who wants to slam Obama, isn't it?

Wright and Rezko and Ayers, oh my!!!  < /sarcasm>

Amazing, how any thread that says anything at all uncomplimentary about Obama attracts throngs who wants to slam Bush, McCain, Palin, Joe the Plumber, Karl Rove, Newt Gingrish, Bobby Jindal, Bob Barr, Ron Paul etc....isn't it?

Ahh the party of intolerance.

Baaahh Baaaahhhh

Studiusbagus,

LOL-- Good to see that the art of  irrelevant comparison is alive and well. "I'll see your drug-dealing in-law and raise you an incompetent terrorist!"

HA! LOL  I'll see your incompetent terrorist and raise you an Indonesian madrasa!

Well, I see your madrasa and raise you a Troopergate and a bridge to nowhere,, no I won't, yes i will, no I won't, yes i will.....

"You can also choose whose house you want your candidacy for the Illinois State Senate launched from.  I just hope that the home owner is not somebody who bombed police stations in the not too distant past unlike, say, Bill Ayers.

Two lies ready to debunk...first of all His campaign was not "Launched in Ayers home" good try but it's a lie.

Second...Rezko's wife sold a part of the lot next door to the Obama's not partnered on the house...another lie.

Is it a genetic thing with Republicans to keep lying even when they have been proven wrong?

You can't choose your daughter's boyfriend much less your daughter's BF's

Say that again?   YOU CANT CHOOSE WHOEVER YOUR DAUGHTER SLEEPS AROUND?   YOU CAN, IF YOU EXPOSE HER TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE.  JEEZ.

John you are so right - if you're not home and you are more interested in your career and how you look... like Palin... then you don't know who your daughter is sleeping with, if she is or isn't, who she's hanging around with, and you don't take time to expose her to the right people.

Palin's children are soooo lucky.  I'm sure she's going to pop out a few more, too... it's God's will, you know.

you better believe she got special treatment, she new that they had a warrant for her arrest, but buy her been the Governor she told them to hold off until the end of the election.

The article states the troopers chose to wait because of all the Secret Service who were around. What does that have to do with it? Apparently the SS had been around her son, the daughter's boyfriend. Still isn't clear. I think it was due to Ms. Palin, but I could be wrong.

If we all come back from conspiracy land for a moment, the delay may have been to gather enough evidence to build a case, or to use as leverage to get her supplier.

There are a number of reasons other than the typical right-wing conspiracy the left is so willing to accept.  Family members who are in law inforcement have repeatidly told me that many of thier arrests for first time offenders are let go.  Building up evidence over a period have a better chance of conviction and jail time.

Except, CC, the trooper stated:

The trooper's affidavit indicates that Sarah Palin's candidacy factored into the investigation, with state officials delaying execution of a search warrant until this month, when Johnston was "no longer under the protection or surveillance of the Secret Service."

Now, whether that was due to stepping carefully to avoid embarrasing Palin, or due to the police not wanting to clash with the Secret Service, the article doesn't say.

Rainkiss,

But what does that have to do with Palin?  There is no mention of her or her handlers trying to suppress that info until after the election.  That decision was made by the State Troopers themselves.  Why they decided to...who knows, may they where looking to relieve the "financial stress" or "getting something back" for thier families if McCain/Palin won the election.

Had anyone even considered that this woman might still be dealing/using drugs if Palin wasn't nominated?  She'd be just another average shmo just like you and I and the public and authorities alike would care less about her.

Er...  That's what I said.

Now, whether that was due to stepping carefully to avoid embarrasing Palin, or due to the police not wanting to clash with the Secret Service, the article doesn't say.

To clarify, it's entirely possible the police made the decision to hold off all on their own until after the election to avoid a potential scene with the Secret Service.  The article doesn't go into enough detail to tell.

Well, duhhhhhh, she fires Walt Monegan and puts her own guy in there!  Ya think he might have been delaying the Arrest for his employer??

God knows if that was Mr Obama child, he and the child would have to leave the country,

here's some food for thought.  If the MOTHER is doing/selling drugs, is the son, as well?  Maybe there hasn't been a wedding b/c they know or suspect he does this too.

Or the kid in the Youtube video was telling the truth...Wouldn't that be hilarious!

Levi Johnston:  Can't marry him, can't shoot him.

FREE LEVI!!!

Noooo, let's get THIS straight...one is on a committee with an ex weatherman  and is palling around with terrorists

The other is marrying in to a family where he mother is PRESENTLY an illegal Drug dealer  which means Sarah Palin is palling around with drug dealers....but of course we don't see that do we?

The other presidential candidates running mates daughters boyfriends mother used a commonly prescribed legal drug and its a scandal.

Actually, THAT part isn't a big deal.  If they put off arresting a criminal because she had connections to a political figure, then THAT is the scandal.

If they put off arresting a criminal because she had connections to a political figure, then THAT is the scandal.

But not for Palin.  Seems like the scandle is for the State Troopers who delayed the arrest.  I could actually been delayed for more reasons than that as well.  Besides, whats the big deal, we (as a nation) just elected a former drug user to the highest office in the land.  yea yea, I know, that don't count.

Loose the sore winner attitude....the election is over, let it go.

Oh, I'm not a sore winner, at all.  Quite cheerful about the election results, actually, thank you for your concern.

I'm just here being entertained how, just because a woman has a loose connection with Sarah Palin, her attempts to illegally acquire and resell controlled prescription medication is described as "used a commonly prescribed legal drug."

FYI, CCdesign, if you hadn't noticed, there's a button above the box in which you type your replies.  It's got an "ABC" over a check mark, that's a spell check.  Might want to hit ti before you post.  (Scandle is correctly spelled "scandal.")  It won't catch everything though, it would have missed the "I" you typed for "It," "whats" for "What's", and "Loose" for "Lose," so you'll still want to proofread.

I've already posted my thoughts on why the search warrant may have been delayed, up in 2.4.

Actually the 'sore winner' comment was not directed at you personally.

What are you...a nun who teaches penmanship?  Who cares who spelled wat witch way?

  Did you know that your brain has the capacity to read anything written as long as the first and last letters are in the proper place?  The remaining letters can be in any order.

BTW, you're right about the spellcheck not catching everything.  But I won't point out that it missed your 'ti' for 'it'....you should proofread ;>)

"Besides, whats the big deal, we (as a nation) just elected a former drug user to the highest office in the land. "

And we just went through 8 years of a Drunk, coke head....Hmmmm

And we just went through 8 years of a Drunk, coke head....Hmmmm

Agreed!  And if you think your getting a rise out of me from that, your wrong. You got the wrong guy for that.  GeeW is yours just as much as the BHO is.  They are all the same with two agendas...pay attention.  Self interest and special interest.

nothing will change.

Libertiesgirl,

I'm sure Palin has been to the drug dealers house and may have even had her over but does that mean she is pallin around with them? 

Do you have proof that Sarah has been to Sherry's house?  Or Sherry has been to the Palin house?  Or even proof that Sarah knew that Sherry was dealing drugs?

Guilt by association is a very dangerous thing to play with.....

Sitting in the pews of a hate-filled pastor for 20 years is not just an "association", don't you think?

Having a convicted felon be a co-buyer of your house is not just an "association", don't you think?

Xerxes -

Rezko was not convicted until June of this year, and he wasn't indicted until 2006.  Obama bought his house in 2005.  So technically, yes that would just be an 'association' as Rezko was not a convicted felon at that time.

And as for Rev Wright... well, yes his sermons did sound hateful, but he served honorably in the military as a Marine and as a medic with the Navy.  So as far as I'm concerned... even though we may disagree with him, he's certainly earned the right to say whatever he wants.  And if you want to bring up church associations, can anyone say... 'McCain-Hagee' or 'Reagan-Falwell', or how about Sarah Palin and her witchcraft church?

Proof there's no need for any-the woman is about to be her in-law they do associate with each other because of their kids.Another scandal held back because of the campaign trail.She's part of the Palins lives along with her son and what ever she bounced off it's bouncing back to her.Problem is she can't cut the woman off and she may get special privileges because of relations to Palin.

Alaska is one of the top 3 corrupted states in the union and I'm sure the people of Alaska are fed up-well no they are and been fed up with it.They're finally starting to speak up and out against the political crap and bulliness they been dealing with for years.

"Sitting in the pews of a hate-filled pastor for 20 years is not just an "association", don't you think?"---A crime? Or your own judgement of someone?

"Having a convicted felon be a co-buyer of your house is not just an "association", don't you think?"---  A blatent lie, they did not co-buy Obama's home.

Studiusbagus--Right on!

Godspeed Obama

Peace

Me, I'm loving the fact that there are people, on different threads, blasting Obama for sitting in a pew for twenty years listening to Wright, AND for not going to a Christmas service this year.  Hysterical.

Who cares?

Well, i'm sure Track would like to meet his new brother.

Reported by People Mag. a boy, named Tripp about 45 min ago.

What is WITH this family and their weird ass names???

Tripp and Trig, that's not gonna be confusing at all for them.

Tripp, Trig and don't forget Track!  Her son who went in the army insted of jail due to convictions for drug possession.

Tripp, Trig and don't forget Track!

And Tripp's brothers to be... Stumble and Fall.

What is it with OxyContin and Republicans? 

It's not just the Repugs.  I have an aquaintence who is the biggest freeloader, welfare collectin', medicare usin person I can think of...you know, a Dumocrat.  She gets her oxy for free.

What is it with OxyContin and Republicans?

If I were one, I'd want to alter my reality and dull the pain, too.

Yes, TJG, I was thinking something along the same lines - it may relive the ache of hypocrisy.

This is the perfect comment - I just had to see it all together again!

Perhaps at the end of her term(s) Gov. Palin will pardon her own daughter's mother in law

I think Mrs. Johnson was charged federally which leaves Governor Palin out. It would have to be W before he leaves office. He could sneak it in when he presumptively pardons Cheney, Rove and the rest of his administration.

Bush is done with pardons.

Well, he might give a full pardon to Libby..but I doubt it.

Not sure, but I suspect someone has to actually be convicted before they can be pardoned.  Don't think they can squeeze a trial in quite this fast.
