Palin's "flatly false" comments on Troopergate

Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin, according to an investigation looking into the "Troopergate" scandal (in which Palin is accused of pressuring Alaska officials to get her ex-brother-in-law fired as a state trooper), found that she "abused her power by violating Alaska Statute 39.52.110(a) of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act."

How Palin spun that finding?

"Well, I'm very very pleased to be cleared of any legal wrongdoing, any hint of any kind of unethical activity there."

ABC's Jake Tapper runs down the list of "flatly false" assertions by Palin over the Troopergate investigation.
