The Odd Lies Of Sarah Palin XIII: Accessing Wooten's Medical Records
From the Public Record:
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has denied claims that she and several of her
senior staffers illegally accessed the personnel file of her
ex-brother-in-law, Trooper Mike Wooten, and disseminated confidential
information about the law enforcement official to his superiors.
Palin,
Sen. John McCain’s running mate, her private attorney Thomas Van Flein,
and McCain campaign officials, said the confidential medical and
employment records became part of the public record during divorce
proceedings between Wooten and Palin’s sister, Molly McCann...
But that assertion is untrue.
In fact, the judge who presided over the divorce proceedings and the
custody hearings that took place over the course of three years never
saw Wooten’s records because the trooper entered into a settlement
agreement with his ex-wife over custody of their young children before
the confidential information was discussed in court, according to
Palin’s sister’s attorney, Roberta Erwin.
Read the whole thing. Palin clearly stepped over the usual ethical and
legal limits to access Mike Wooten's personal medical files and
disseminated the information to smear her ex brother-in-law. Todd Palin
was deeply involved as well.
