http://www.upi.com/Top_News/2008/09/26/Lawmakers_McCain_campaign_blocking_probe/UPI-51961222443036/ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Sept. 26 (UPI) -- Republican presidential candidate John McCain's campaign is attempting to block an inquiry into Alaskan Gov. Sarah Palin, lawmakers allege.
Lawyers for Alaskan Sen. Hollis French, D-Anchorage, and attorney Stephen Branchflower, the individuals behind the inquiry, allege in court filings that the Republican vice presidential candidate is being protected regarding the firing of her public safety commissioner, CNN reported Friday.
"Indeed, recent events demonstrate that witnesses or participants who want to stonewall Mr. Branchflower's fact-finding inquiry can count on plenty of assistance from lawyers and McCain campaign operatives," the lawyers allege.
