Palin lying about Bailey's phone call

NEW! Subscribe to RSS Feed

In a taped interview with Anchorage Daily News Reporter Kyle Hopkins yesterday, Governor Sarah Palin stated unequivocably that Frank Bailey acted completely on his own.

"No one ever directed him to make any calls, he never disclosed he made any calls," Palin said.

This is a lie.

On February 29, an email was sent from Frank Bailey to Ivy Frye just after Bailey's recorded phone call to Alaska State Trooper Rodney Dial.

"Leaving pretty quick for the airport...call me though I need to give you a heads up. Spoke to Rodney and he doesn't get that kind of stuff since he's a Lieutenant, but he'd definitely pass it on."

Not only that, but Palin also told Hopkins that "Todd never told Frank Bailey or suggest he take on this mission to call a trooper."

However according to phone logs, Todd Palin called Ivy Frye three times between 1:45pm and 3:50pm on the afternoon of February 28, the day before Bailey's call to Dial.

But there is more. The Palin administration has refused to release over 1100 additional emails citing "Executive privilege" and "Deliberative Process".

According to the privilege log of those emails that weren't released, there are eleven different emails between 7pm on February 28 and 11:41am on February 29 with the subject line "re: PSEA" sent between Ivy Frye, Annette Kreitzer, Sarah Palin, Frank Bailey, Todd Palin and Kris Perry.

Given the fact that Bailey's recorded phone call that was placed around 9:30am on Feb 29 and was prefaced about the PSEA (Public Safety Employees Association); who wants to bet the reason Palin doesn't want to release these emails is because they have to do with Wooten?  

I have attached both the email and the phone log (click attachment)which were released as part of an unrelated information request.

Compare Palin letter to Baily transcript

A. Baily uses same and similar language as Palin did, because he was acting at her behest. Baily used the phrase 'scratching their heads' in his 2/29/08 9:30 am recorded convesation with the public safety official; Palin had used this SAME phrase in her 8/10/05 letter to the Dept of Public Safety. Other similarity- trying to pursuade the dept to fire Wooten because he 'puts the department in a bad light'. B. Can you publish a chronology of the divorce case side by side with the various complaints, contacts from the Palin Camp- starting in 2005 through 2008? Apparently the Divorce Judge even thought there was a campaign of harassment against Wooten. C. These incidents happened between 3-5 years ago, before they were her staff and before she was governor. There are NO NEW INCIDENTS, apparently. This leads to a few questions about how and why a number of Palin's staffers could initiate contact with a state agency dozens of times, AND: -----(1) never inform their boss, either before or after. (What else of the taxpayers business are they doing on their own? Who is the real 'loose cannon' here? What kind of a ship does she run where she does not even know what her staffers are doing?) -----(2) still have a job when she found out (Who has she fired and when? Was it before this flap or after? What reason did she give for firing them? Does she ONLY seek to fire bad employees of other agencies but not her own?) -----(3) use private personnel complaint records and knowledge they had no reason to have because the incidents occurred before Palin was Governor and before they were the Governor's staffers. (These employees gave out personnel material about a State employee- is this a violation of privacy laws? How did they get it? Does Palin just let private personnel information lie around for anyone to use? Is this being investigated?) -----(4) Continually mention that they are doing it for her and her husband Todd who is NOT their boss, while they are on their public jobs. (Do they do other private work while on the public payroll? Do they also work for Todd? Why would Todd discuss an employee of a State agency with the Governor's staff? Why would Todd be involved in anything a staffer is working on?)


Unfortunately she does not

Unfortunately she does not have the experience in going from state to state across the US, or town to town and city to city speaking to the public about the devastated economy and hearing their stories. We have had a wonderful 18 months at least to get acquainted with Obama and he is beginning to grow on us!! It takes time to get to know someone...Unless you make it a one night stand!!! This has been the DNC rant for the last 8 years from the moment the economy begin to dissenagrate! A one night stand with a women you met only one night back in February does'nt justify her reasons for a VP candidacy! We have heard of her in less than 72 hours and already has heard of her currently being under investigation!!! Hell the Mc Dugeons like to fuck too (they have 18 kids) and Apparently John Edwards does too, so what else is new? And not to mention this post I'found in FLorida!!!! Sarah is not running for President she is running for Vice President. Sarah is nice,,,,but,,,,,,,,,If women wanted a woman, they would of selected Hilary Clinton over Obama!!! Sarah is not Hilary and most demos are barfing over the thought that someone could try to find a smidgen of comparison!!! Sarah is currently under investigation that contradict her little comming out of the closet existence speech..."I didn't follow the good ole boy system," when she is currently investigated for firing some guy as seen on CNN news. Appartently her brother got to keep his job in the firing. She blamed it all on her husband and said her husband was the one that was involved with the firing...... Let's see your husband works in office, your brother works in office, your wannabe brother works in office, your brother's brother in law, works in office, and maybe your brother's son in law works in office..........sounds like a DAMN GOOD OLD BOY SYSTEM and Moose burgers eaters! AND SARAH WAS ONLY 2nd RUNNER UP FOR MS. ALASKA, So 2nd runner up is where she will always be even if McCain won the whitehouse. McCain is the kind of guy that will make sure Sarah knows her place and will constantly remind her who's in charge.....So she is where she will always be,,,secomn runner up!................ What I can't seem to figure out is they think women are actually stupid enough to vote for a president who proposes "more of the same" just because he chooses a woman as his VP candidate??? HE can't be serious can he? Really!!! I am highly insulted!!!!! A least it isn't difficult to determine who has the balls on this ticket!!!!!!!!! THe good news is the public and the media have more of an important issue and will focus on one name who is more important than any of the cadidates and his name is Gustav! The Rebublicans will feel cheated by the lack of media coverage!!!! I don't know about you but a "One night stand with McCain" isn't enough to get me aroused!!! I get aroused in the current state of the economy and the furtherness in jeopardy and increase in poverty! Sarah's one night stand with McCain can unfortunately make men to begin to think with the little head instead fo the big head!!!! Mark my word, folks! This country is going to Moose eaters!!!!!!!!!! YIKES!!!!!!!!! I'm thinking I want to elect the guy in the SHAM WOW commercials,,,,,,,,Hell we all know him!!

Astonishing

I'm glad I was able to find this site and article when I googled in Sara Palin. I am shocked that this woman is on the ticket to become the VP of the USA. Anyone who digs deeper will get valuable information to consider before voting and putting our county's future in the hands of Palin, who very likely could become the president--how frightening! Instead of feeling excited about McCain's choice, I can only think that he was IRRESPONSIBLE and SELF SERVING in suggesting that Sara is prepared to lead as a VP--UNTHINKABLE!! She seems to be smart, determined, completive, ambitious--everything but honest??? Too bad...as a woman, McCain won't get my independent vote running with Sara by his side. Thanks for the insight--I'll be spreading the knowledge I've gained!!


Sara is awesome! Vice-President of the United States!!!

Please vote for this lady she is a perfect choice for McCain and makes me proud to be an American. NOBAMA!!!!!


creepy

SP's obsession with Wooten is creepy. She fawned over him with her letter of recommendation only to despise him when he rejected her sister. Sounds too personal. Like she was the woman jilted.......hmmmmmmmmm


No subpoenas for now?

Andrew, what's your thought on this? They canceled a Monday committee meeting to talk about what subpoenas to pursue.


executive privilege?

Andrew: I'm confused how they can claim executive privilege with Todd on the distribution list? Isn't he considered just another member of the general public? And therefore no executive privilege exists?

You would think...and I believe a judge will eventually agree. However in the meantime, the Department of Law is saying Todd is a close confidential advisor.

 


Does that set precedence?

If Todd is considered a "close confidential advisor" then who else could also be considered the same, her father, her mother, Molly McCann? Where do you draw the line? Spouses only? Was Nancy Murkowski considered an "advisor" also? Also, does Colberg have his hands tied by the fact that he's a Palin appointee? Is he at risk for being canned as well if he doesn't cooperate? Was his department's investigation influenced by the fact that Colberg involved himself in the matter?

That's a good question and one that will ultimately be decided by a judge. The one good thing that these denials is they have produced, is different groups with deep pockets who can afford to fight for the release of these emails.


Bailey

Andrew... do you think Frank Bailey will get $10k or a similar cash money payout for falling on his sword? I bet he does!


Now, I have to go I have a lot of interviews today

But I want to say one thing to all Alaskans . I want you to listen to me. I'm going to say this again: I did not pressure that man, Mister Monegan. I never told anybody to call, not a single time; never. These allegations are false, and I need to go back to work for all Alaskans . Thank you. This seems oddly familiar........denials, a husband and wife team head of state, surprise evidence. I can't place it tho.


read again Sarah

Proverbs 6:16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 6:17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 6:18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 6:19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren 11: 1 The LORD hates cheating, but he delights in honesty. 2 Pride leads to disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. OR. When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom. The Lord resists the proud. When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom. 3 Good people are guided by their honesty; treacherous people are destroyed by their dishonesty. 5 The godly are directed by their honesty; the wicked fall beneath their load of sin. 6 The godliness of good people rescues them; the ambition of treacherous people traps them. 20 The LORD hates people with twisted hearts, but he delights in those who have integrity. 22 A woman who is beautiful but lacks discretion is like a gold ring in a pig's snout. 12:17 He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit. words of wisdom » Sarah Sis the thing about fibbin is you need to keep track. And, your flubbin the fibbin big time queenie. Now we all know the governor’s office is busy given all the valley-folks worken round the clock and its hard for you and Todd to keep em all in check. But ya know that matanuskathundersomethin grown under the basement grow lights of your constituency does have some bad side effects including MUNCHIES and the DIFFICULTY KEEPING TRACK of the PLOT let alone the pot – they’ll find your stash next. Now, I’m just a simple trapper not given to wackey weed myself, but I can offer some advice. 1) tell the truth. It is simple and easy to replicate. 2) put yourself in service to the people of Alaska. We are not here to serve you. I can see the lies in your eyes. I’ve seen that look before in the beedie little eyes of those ermines faken like they’re laying dead in my snare just so they can latch on and give me a good bite. I know that look and I’ve learned to give em a good wack before I take em out. Alaska don’t need you latchen on for a good bite, but seems you could use a good wacken. Sure hope that investigator’s got himself a good switch made of Alaskan diamond willow. It'll leave a mark. Course so have you - in Alaska's soul. Sourdough Sam Sarah –Why not follow a good example from our great history? Here is the script…. • I have never been a quitter. To leave office before my important work is done opposed to every instinct in my beautiful body. But as Governor I must put the interests of Alaska first Therefore, I shall resign effective at noon tomorrow. • I have impeached myself by resigning. • I played by the rules of politics as I found them. • I let the Alaskan people down. Sarah Palin Here are the footsteps to follow…. • I have never been a quitter. To leave office before my term is completed is opposed to every instinct in my body. But as president I must put the interests of America first Therefore, I shall resign the presidency effective at noon tomorrow. • I have impeached myself by resigning. • I played by the rules of politics as I found them. • I let the American people down.

One more tidbit from the phone call

At one point in the conversation the discuss turns to Trooper Wooten using his patrol car to pick up the kids from school. Bailey offers this to Lt. Dial as one area that is an infraction and something that Wooten could be introuble for. When Lt. Dial repeats this back to Bailey, Bailey offers that verification can be obtained from the school that this is indeed happening. So guess what? Information on students arrangements can only be obtained by a legal guardian. If Bailey is going to get information fromt he school, he would have to involved Sarah Palin's sister, Molly. This would directly implicate Sarah Palin's involvement in this whole thing. Just food for thought.

....Good Point. In the phone call Trooper Dial explains to Bailey that an officer can use his patrol car off duty if they have permission from a supervisor or they are on the special response team which mandates you have your gear with you at all times, so you have to be able to use your vehicle for private use.

Every time somebody has called and complained about Wooten's vehicle use they have been dismissed because either he was on the special response team or he had specifically received permission from his supervisor. The latest story happened this spring when Wooten had received permission on his lunch hour to pick up his daughter from school and Todd Palin saw him pullling out of the parking lot. Six days later Wooten's supervisor told him that a compliant had been filed, but it was known that he had received permission.


To Ivy: Rodney Who?

Bailey wrote: "Leaving pretty quick for the airport...call me though I need to give you a heads up. Spoke to Rodney and he doesn't get that kind of stuff since he's a Lieutenant, but he'd definitely pass it on." Ivy, how did you know what Bailey was talking about? Rodney who? What stuff? Come clean, Ivy, before it's too late for you.


re

rodney is lt. dial. the statement seems to reference that dial does not get the psea emails.

..that occured to me.....but 98% of the phone call was about Wooten, not PSEA. And even after Dial tells Bailey that he is not a member of PSEA, Bailey continues to go on for another twenty minutes about Wooten. 

In addition, he says in his email that Rodney doesn't get it but will pass it on? Pass what on? The fact that he doesn't get the PSEA's emails or that Bailey says Sarah and Todd are frustrated that Wooten is still a trooper?

The only way to know for sure is to release the associated emails.


PSEA

I wonder if you've noted what the PSEA conversation was about, as it appears to me that Bailey is asking Dial to pass over confidential information regarding the PSEA's bargaining position and general strategy in the upcoming contract negotiations to the Governor's office. This may not be illegal, but is certainly unethical. Dial has to explain that he is not a member of the union since he is a lieutenant. He then says if he hears anything, noting that it would generally be public knowledge by that point, he will "pass it on." It would seem to me that Bailey's email to Frye is therefore solely about the PSEA issue.


Bailey

I hope someone will investigate how Frank Bailey managed to get access to confidential files. Lt. Dial noticed right away that Frank shouldn't have access. I am glad he commented on this to Frank in the call. Couldn't this be a crime? Maybe Trooper Wooten should file a complaint with his union reps about that.


Moral Compass ?

This is obviously getting out of hand really quick for Sara Palin. Her lies are getting more transparent and compounded. She is reduced to trying to get her message out via one shlock-shock-potty humor radio show and two poor quality silly radio talk shows where the hosts appear to have serious crushes on her. Mark, Bob and Eddie sit there like silly little school boy-lap dogs asking the prom queen softball questions then dutifully attack anyone who disagrees with her. With her teflon/free pass starting to thin you would think SOMEONE in this inner circle would find a Moral Compass and read it for Sara as she has clearly lost her way. Where are her husband, her parents and all these close friends ? Isn't there anyone who cares enough about her with the guts to tell her to just stop digging the hole, apologize and start telling the truth ? She seems really close to making a total fool out of herself. If these e-mails are made public to show what a manipulative liar she has been it should be over even if the press tries not to cover it. Please someone save her from herself. I feel for her children as they are likely to go from having the thrill of their mom being the first female Governor of our state to a whole bunch of public humiliation, even with the ADN and KTUU still flying cover for her.


The New CBC Club

We now have a new CBC (Corrupt B_ _ tches Club)! It includes Kreitzer, among others we need not mention. But to wit: It is alleged that Bailey arranged to have a surveyor hired into a State position as a leasing officer with the DOT/PF, that surveyor once having helped the Saracuda campaign. The surveyor allegedly wasn't qualified for the position so Bailey allegedly arranged to have the requirements of the position "changed" so he did qualify. (The coverup then made was that it had been a problem with the position description that they had been trying to correct all along! Are we that dumb?) If true, Bailey has another problem to deal with.....another abuse of his power, a true sign of corruption. Then there's the Governor herself. She is reported to have driven with her newborn not under proper child restraint, as required by LAW. She is reported to have had traffic violations waived, through unethical power of influence over LAW enforcement. Like members of the original CBC, the New CBC thinks it is above the LAW. In due time it will self destruct.


Is Branchflower reading your blog, Andrew?

Investigative minds want to know!


Lie until they force you to tell the truth. Then lie some more

It's fairly obvious by now that the Palins and their loyal staff have adopted the policy of only teling a version of the truth when backed into a corner with no way out. And even then, all you'll get is one or both of the following: a complete non-response or a piece of the truth garnished with falsehoods. If you go on ADN and read the obvious posts by Palin friends, each of them is of one variety, and one only: The "yeah, but" variety. It goes, "Yeah, but the real issue is that Wooten should have been fired." You will hear this repeatedly, up until the day Palin and her staff are forced to resign. These are called non sequiturs: responses that respond to nothing. How much longer will people tolerate the hypocrisy of this woman? Well, maybe for two more years, when we will elect a new governor.


Will Branchflower have access to the non released emails?

???


Palin Lying

Who is going to be Palin's "Rose Mary Woods" and erase 18 minutes of her actual conversation with Monegan? If she is so concerned with the cost of this investigation she should resign now and save the State the tons of money this investigation will cost. Even Nixon was smart enough to resign.


COME CLEAN PRINCESS!!!!

How long will she go on like this!!!!!!??????? She is a LIAR, knows she is lying abd yet continues this pattern of innocence?????? It is embarrassing to be an Alaskan right now.


Embarrassing?

"It is embarrassing to be an Alaskan right now." If this makes it embarrassing to be an Alaskan right now, how does it feel to be an American right now? ------------------- "Fool you thrice! Helloooo?
