If you have a couple extra coins knocking around in your pocket, you could consider a donation to Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s legal defense fund. The former Republican vice presidential candidate has about $500,000 in legal fees — partly due to investigations into efforts to fire an Alaska state trooper who’s her former-brother-in-law.
Also, a dozen new ethics complaints have been filed against Joan of Arc in the past few months. Hence the setting up of ‘Alaska Trust Fund’. They are asking for donations up to 150$ per person. Perhaps if GOP had not spent more than 150,000 $ on her wardrobe during the election, that money could now have gone to the trust fund.
They insist this is one of the “most restrictive and transparent legal funds in history,” and compare it to other recent funds — like those for both Clintons and former Alaska Senator Ted Stevens.
The difference is of course that Clintons had the entire might of the Republican Party hounding them for full eight years, not to mention an out of control partisan hack of a prosecutor, Kenneth Starr. Kenneth Starr had a bottomless purse to draw upon. He spent more than 100 million $ in his quest to get the Clintons and failed miserably. So I can understand why Clintons needed to set up the trust fund.
The attempt by Joan of Arc on the other hand, looks too much like raising money for her upcoming presidential bid.
