Rumors fly of possible Palin embezzlement indictment

Raw Story has a summary of the reporting on this. There is simply no way that the GOP frontrunner for president is suddenly announcing her resignation, late on a Friday, the day before a major holiday - the traditional times to dump damaging information - if someone didn't confront her with devastating information. So an indictment sounds possible. Though, Palin doesn't strike me as the type to give up and resign simply because someone's coming after her. The information must be devastating and conclusive.

Wonder if Palin's been to Argentina lately? :-)

Actually, I was talking to Jane Hamsher this morning on our little puddle jumper out of the island of Gotland, and it struck me that maybe Palin is about to get indicted by the same folks who took down Ted Stevens. Remember, Stevens didn't win on the facts - he won because the lawyers at Justice screwed up. Those lawyers must have been ticked that their case fell apart based on a technicality, so to speak. What if the same influence peddling case involved Palin too? What if they went to Palin, showed their hand, and said "we're taking Todd down, unless you resign?"

Anderson Cooper takes on Palin's spokeswoman, and pretty much makes mince-meat of her.
