Why we will NEVER find the smoking gun in the Sarah Palin e-mail dump.

Nice try Lamestream media, but everybody in the Parnell administration is my bitch!

From MSNBC Open Channel:

12:28 p.m. AT (4:28 p.m. ET): The analysts from Crivella West, which scanned and placed these 24,000 pieces of paper online for msnbc.com's searchable archive, say they've noticed something interesting in the way the state of Alaska withheld information from the Palin emails.

In all their big legal cases, the analysts said, they see discrepancies in the redactions, which is a fancy way of saying the hiding of information. Part of the text may be blanked out in one copy of an email, but the text will be revealed in another copy.

But in this Palin email release, after all the long delays and the insanity/hilarity of releasing emails in 250-pound bundles of bankers boxes, the redactions were entirely clean. If the state lawyers and the governors office hid something in one copy of an email, they hid it in every copy.

The analysts, who work on the biggest tort cases in the country, said they had never seen this level of care taken in blanking out information.

Which proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that there was DEFINITELY much that Palin desperately did not want found in these e-mails, and which also explains why it took so incredibly long before they released them to the public.

However, like I said before, Frank Bailey has many of these e-mails in their unredacted form.

If he truly wants to pay penance for the things that he did while working with Palin, he MUST release those e-mails.  It is both the Christian, and patriotic, thing to do.
