McCain Campaign -Trying to Help Palin - Obstruct Justice In Troopergate

Thing is, all this stonewalling is probably too late -- damaging information, including a phone call between Palin staffer Frank Bailey and a state police official that ABC News acquired, has already come out, and more is yet to come, despite the McCain campaign's ham-handed Nixonian efforts to kill the investigation:

In a move endorsed by the McCain campaign Friday, John Coghill, the GOP chairman of the state House Rules Committee, wrote a letter seeking a meeting of Alaska's bipartisan Legislative Council in order to remove the Democratic state senator in charge of the so-called "troopergate" investigation.

Dumb move, Mr. Coghill. You tried this while the whole world is watching, and now everyone is eager to see what you're trying so hard to cover up with too-cute stunts like this. Instead of making the investigation go away, it's now been fast-tracked. Nice one, buddy.
