According to the LA TImes there are no pending indictments and no investigation into the affairs of Sarah Palin.
Despite rumors of a looming controversy after the Republican governor’s surprise announcement Friday that she would leave office this month, some of them published in the blogosphere, the FBI’s Alaska spokesman said the bureau had no investigation into Palin for her activities as governor, as mayor or in any other capacity.
“There is absolutely no truth to those rumors that we’re investigating her or getting ready to indict her,” Special Agent Eric Gonzalez said in a phone interview Saturday. “It’s just not true.” He added that there was “no wiggle room” in his comments for any kind of inquiry.
So did she resign just for the money she can make as a private citizen? Alaskans be damned? Personally, I think she resigned because she wasn’t up to the job and she finally had the good grace to admit, at least to herself, and bowed out to put the state in more capable hands. The ‘higher calling’ excuse is a lame attempt to save face, but you have to hand it to her, she did bow out which was the best thing for Alaska.
