(CNN) -- An Alaska judge warned Gov. Sarah Palin's family against trying to get her then-brother-in-law fired, according to court records.

Investigators want to know if Sarah Palin tried to use her position improperly to get her former brother-in-law fired.

That warning came long before the controversy over her dismissal of the brother-in-law's boss, the state's public safety commissioner, records show.

Palin, the Republican nominee for vice president, is battling allegations she and her advisers pressured Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan to fire her sister's husband, State Trooper Mike Wooten.

Palin's sister, Molly McCann, and Wooten were in the process of getting a divorce when the judge hearing the couple's case said McCann's family appeared to be putting Wooten's job at risk at a time when he would be required to pay child support.

"It appears for the world that Ms. McCann and her family have decided to take after the guy's livelihood, that whatever who did what to whom has overridden good judgment," Superior Court Judge John Suddock said during an October 2005 hearing. "Aesop told us not to slay the goose that lays the golden egg. For whatever reason, people are trying to slay the goose here, and it tends to diminish his earning capacity."

wonderful, when are you going to prove those numbers we talked about last night?
 
How can Palin expect to rule the country with a iron fist if she cannot control every member of her family? :eek:
 
She's dirty as hell.

She's the perfect neo_Republican

St. Obama is obviously the perfect lib/Dem ... no substance, relative morality and say whatever it takes to get elected to whatever crowd he is adressing at the moment.
 
She is in trouble with this investigation.

The audio tapes prove she's guilty.

Just like Nixon.

As though any of that matters.

Don't you know by now that the powerful and influential don't get judged by the same standards as the rest of us?

Boy, is that the truth.

The prosecutor is not even going to interview Palin. Not that they need too, they have plenty of evidence.
