Troopergate - Palin emails emerge

The Washington Post reports that emails from Sarah Palin have emerged regarding the dismissal of her Public Safety commissioner, relative to a trooper under his control, revealing her intense interest in the trooper's employment:

"This trooper is still out on the street, in fact he's been promoted," said a Feb. 7, 2007, e-mail sent from Palin's personal Yahoo account and written to give Monegan permission to speak on a violent-crime bill before the state legislature.
"It was a joke, the whole year long 'investigation' of him," the e-mail said. "This is the same trooper who's out there today telling people the new administration is going to destroy the trooper organization, and that he'd 'never work for that b****', Palin'.)"
