The state trooper behind the abuse-of-power investigations of Gov. Sarah Palin is getting a reassignment this Sunday following threatening telephone calls to his employer.Mike Wooten has been on desk duty for his own protection in recent weeks after troopers began receiving hostile calls from Alaskans and people outside the state, according to public safety union officials.
Callers said things like "If I ever see Trooper Wooten on the road, I'm not going to let him stop me," according to union director John Cyr. [...]
"It was clear there was a lot of feeling and misdirected feeling among the public," Cyr said Friday of the phone calls received by troopers. "The department came to us. There were worries about Mike's safety. We agreed -- and Mike agreed -- to do paperwork until after the election." [...]
Palin's spokesman, Bill McAllister, said the governor's office was not aware of the reassignment plans and was unable to comment on it."It's probably not appropriate of us to second-guess such a decision," he said. "It's not something the governor's office micromanages."
Wherever Pitiful Palin goes, hatred and hostility seem to follow.
