Sarah Palin Lies About Her Guilt In Ethics Violations

So Sarah Palin seems to be a compulsive liar. When asked about the trooper-gate scandal, where she has been found guilty of ethics violations in Alaska, she told a reporter, "I’m very very pleased to be cleared of any legal wrongdoing, any hint of any kind of unethical activity there. Very pleased to be cleared of any of that."

The ruling begins with this sentence:

"I find that Governor Sarah Palin abused her power by violating Alaska Statute 39.52.110(a) of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act ... Compliance with the code of ethics is not optional..."

The problem is she wasn't cleared, she was found guilty. ABC News notes the lie and gives the facts.
