From Malia Litman's blog
Senator Susan Collins is a Republican, and the senior member of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security
and Governmental Affairs. That committee has jurisdiction over the
Department of Homeland Security and is the Senate’s Chief Oversight
Committee. She is the former chairman of the committee. Wanting to
ensure that she personally knew about the scandal involving Todd Palin
and Shailey Tripp, I contacted her office this morning. I was referred
to “Jake” who is one of the staff members assigned to cover the
investigation that will be the subject of the inquiry tomorrow. Jake
confirmed that Senator Collins already knew “all about” Shailey Tripp,
Todd Palin, and David Chaney. It must be that the officer who took a
statement from Shailey, as reported yesterday,
actually gave a complete report which was evidently circulated to
members of the committee. I am assuming this dissemination of
information took place because it is my impression that the office who
took the statement from Shailey Tripp did not work directly for Senator
Collins. A little later today, I will post a link to listen to the
hearing scheduled for tomorrow. and if the video becomes available, I’ll
post a link to that as well.
My conclusion is that we are no longer dependent on Joe Leiberman to
bring attention to this matter. It appears this story is now available
to all members of the Senate Committee. If there is nothing discussed
tomorrow about the culture of corruption in Alaska, it is because of an
attempt by the members of the committee to keep this information secret.
Responsibility will be shared, for better or worse, by all members of
the committee.
Malia has been working diligently to expose the Palins for their misdeeds from the tax credit they got for their unreality show to Todd's prostitution ring. Her efforts are noble. I'm afraid though the Palins will skate on this one because they are like Teflon, nothing to them sticks. They got a slap on the wrist for Troopergate, Travelgate, AFT, and Taxgate. It's obvious Bristol keeps Tripp from Levi but the judges won't do anything.
Joe Lieberman may not like Sarah, he had to restrain her from coming after President Obama back in 2009.
However he is best friends with John McCain, and Sarah was his running mate. If Sarah is exposed, she will expose John. It's funny when Sarah ran for governor back in 2006 she promised to end the corruption in AK, but it's the corruption in DC that may save her ass.
Thank you Malia for everything you have done to expose the Palins! There is a special place for you in heaven.

This review is from: Boys Will Be Boys: Media, Morality, and the Coverup of the Todd Palin Shailey Tripp Sex Scandal (Volume 1) (Paperback)
ReplyDeleteIn "Boys Will Be Boys" Shailey Tripp proves, with copies of documents and lists of names, that her arrest for prostitution and her introduction to that business had roots in the heart of a famous celebrity "family man." One day after standing next to Sarah Palin as she was sworn in as Alaska's first female governor, this "First Dude" was flirtatiously emailing with a young single mom, Shailey Tripp,and saying "You light up my life." What transpired in the weeks, months and years (2006-2010) that followed did not light up her life in return. Guided by a powerful man into the darkness of selling sex, Ms. Tripp has set herself free and is telling her story. The truth will continue to set her free, and she honestly spills the agonizing, humiliating, and depressing details of life as Todd Palin's commodity. Interstate sex trafficking is no joke. The names she names and emails she released prove this woman means business. In the current political climate of taking away women's rights, Ms. Tripp should become an icon for having the courage to stand up and say "I'm not going to let men define who and what I am and what I do." Once you read it, pass it on. This book belongs in libraries, homeless shelters, and women's clinics where it can speak to those who find themselves enslaved by any unhealthy behaviors, limited by losses or disabilities, or injured by the cruelty of others, as the author once was.
The Senate Committee is happening right now on CSPAN.
ReplyDeleteSo far, very vague testimony from Mark Sullivan.
Just now Senator Lieberman questioned Mark Sullivan specifically about whether SS investigations involving SS personnel here in the USA would be conducted with the same zeal as the Columbia scandal, and Mark Sullivan indicated that if allegations of improper conduct were presented to the agency, they would be investigated.
ReplyDeleteThis is the closest I've heard in the testimony so far of a hypothetical situation that would match the Todd Palin/Shailey Tripp/David Chaney allegation that Malia and Shailey have presented.
Interesting, KaJo.
DeleteThanks for the report!
Hearing just mentioned Salt Lake 2002 Olympics security cahoots so 2008 incidents are fair game. For those with credible pimping for Sarah's security team information, www.dhs.org.gov/hotline
ReplyDeletespeaking of 2002 Olympic games - did you see this?

It is seriously disappointing that Sullivan is in so much denial. I had ZERO "Trust and Confidence" restored today after hearing most of the hearing. There will be more to come. I hope that includes what our leaders want to subdue. Perhaps Edwards will do better.
ReplyDeleteNow that it is known that the DEA also misbehaves could there ever be a mention of threats like cartels and FARC?
"FARC Rebels own Cartagena Columbia, nothing in Cartagena Columbia goes down without FARC Rebels behind the scene, drugs, prostitution, kidnapping, FARC Rebels own it." ... that was from an investigative blog.
Senator Collins did "clear up" the matter of FARC being involved with the Cartagena incident. Very convient and easy. Now what about the DEA? Just sayin' the danger that rogue agents put on the people they are to watch and others is much more serious and real than the Hearing today seemed to portray. I sure hope they step things up SOON. The culture of corruption is not only the Secret Service. No mention of the military personnel in the Cartagena scandal.
Beautiful women have been used throughout history.
