Alaskan Trooper at Center of "Troopergate" Admits he Tasered his Stepson, Poached a Moose, had Multiple Reprimands and Credible Evidence Says he Drank in his Patrol Car.....

Even this CNN investigative reporter admits the obvious, there's nothing to this "scandal," which in his eyes is the one and only that had any potential.....

The Alaska state trooper at the center of a probe into whether Gov. Sarah Palin abused her power says he has “made mistakes, and I’ve learned from those mistakes.”But in an exclusive interview with us, Mike Wooten, Palin’s former brother-in-law, also denies some of the biggest allegations against him.

Wooten says he has been offered $30,000 to tell his story to a tabloid. The Obama campaign has reached out to the head of his union. And he no longer answers any phone number he doesn’t recognize for fear it is another pesky reporter who wants his story.

The story is how he married into, then divorced out of, Alaska’s first family.The trooper finds his life at the center of the one and only potential scandal I can find concerning Gov. Palin, John McCain’s choice for running mate.

The scandalous allegation is the governor used her power to try and get her sister’s ex fired. When that didn’t work, it’s alleged Gov. Palin fired the public safety commissioner.

In our interview, Wooten rattled off a disturbing number of “mistakes” he’s made in his career. He admits tasering his stepson, illegally killing a moose and admits to multiple reprimands in his file. A state trooper investigation even found credible evidence he was drinking in his patrol car.

But please tell me if you think his tale — dubbed Troopergate by Gov. Palin’s political enemies — is really the scandal that will bring down the newest star on the political scene.

People involved in child custody battles, as is Gov. Palin, can't be counted on to be completely accurate when recounting the behavior of the other party.

Be sure to read the details of the "Tazering an Eleven Year Old Boy" story, as told by Trooper Wooten, before justifying Governor Palin's firing of the Alaska state police chief, Walt Monegan, for not allowing her to "head hunt" Trooper Wooten.

Wooten's version includes a request by the child to experience what troopers in training experience. Special low taser setting; clips placed on the shirt, not the skin; the boy lying on the floor, surrounded by pillows.

Wooten says he realizes that his behavior was improper and makes no excuses for hiself.

Before Ms. Palin became governor, the case had been heard and a suspension was given to Trooper Wooten. When she became governor, Ms.Palin wanted to increase Trooper Wooten's punishment. Walt Monegan was in the way and was fired.

michael,

Any cop that drinks booze in his cruiser should be fired. Period.

Poor Anarchists-they've come up with a dead end. If it's scandal they seek, they should check out Clinton or Oprahma. They may finally hit paydirt.

"a request by the child to experience what troopers in training experience" ??? BULLSHIT! What fucking planet are you living on?

"Wooten says he realizes that his behavior was improper"? "Im-fucking-proper"? Is he out of his fucking mind? Or is he saying anything he can think of to avoid prosecution?

Anyway you cut it, it's child abuse if you taze an 11 year old boy. On that alone, he should have been put away for 5 years. What if it was an 11 year old GIRL? Everyone would have been screaming for his scalp and his head on a pike.

I'd like to know why he wasn't arrested, prosecuted, convicted and imprisoned? That's the REAL story.
