There are details regarding the alleged hack that seem to not fit if this was really a ‘leftist’ hacker. If he, as is claimed, opened every email, why did he not just post the entire text everywhere on the web? Why didn’t he open the “Nizich, Michael A (GOV) FW: CONFIDENTIAL Ethics Matter Thu, 8/7/08 3KB Read” email and post that? Wouldn’t every one want to know what’s in that one? Will the FBI followup even if it leads to the GOP? Isn’t it just too convenient that Palin has now been able to delete questionable emails sent as governor? Knowing Yahoo!, the account might be deleted, but the emails are still around - I hope the emails themselves may become part of the investigation.
