OK, aide's refusal to testify to the Alaskan legislature for troopergate, go.

Alaska's constitution requires the personal board and no other body to investigate the matter. The legislature is violating Alaska's constitution by investigating the matter because they are only empowered by the constitution to investigate matters when they further legislation..this does not.
The Attourney General of Alaska notified state employees not to cooperate because the Legislature has no authority in the matter.
Source:
AS 39.52.310 - Requires the matter to be investigated by the personel board not the legislature.
AS 39.52.060 - Establishes the personel board which consists of 3 members with 6 year terms appointed by the Governor and approved by the legislature in joint session.
In short the aide was following the order from the state attourney general who has a strong legal basis for his objections.
PS - Not going to respond to the rest of it?

That's great except you forgot to mention that the personal board is appointed by Governor Palin. If you were the boss and you wanted your employees to investigate you for wrongdoing, you would expect them to do what, exactly? Secondly, in the eyes of the public, she looks like she has something to hide by not cooperating and initially, she welcomed the investigation. And there's the fact that the Republican legislature is being sued to stop it. That, is fishy at best.
What do you want me to comment on?

@bolded,
Did you even read it?
It doesn't matter who appointed the board, its called the LAW. You don't just ignore it because you don't like it. In the eyes of the public it looks shady that the guy who is leading the legislative investigation (Hollis French) was part of the reason Monegan got fired, and it looks shady that he was declaring what he would find before the investigation ever started...now those are things you actually forgot to mention.
You don't have to comment on any of it, not responding speaks for itself, I just wanted to give you the opportunity to respond before I assume you have nothing more to add to those issues.

I've already admitted my mistake in an earlier post. I've been here for 2 hours talking to you and I am a bit tired. A Republican control board approved the investigation and if they have such a problem with French, why don't they just torpedo the investigation? As I've mentioned, the Legislature is being sued to stop. And you're right, I've been arguing with you guys for a long time and I like to take a break.
