Given the thousands of pages of e-mails that have just been produced it may take weeks to read all that came through Palin’s office. However here are a couple of e-mails that are particularly interesting, given the controversy surrounding the birth of Trig, and the question about who the real birth mother really was.
1. Trig was reportedly born on April 18, 2008. As early as April 22nd the Governor’s office was “flooded with calls about rumors.” Sarah Palin herself sent an e-mail about the rumors that this baby might be Bristol’s, which had been around before Tuesday:
“Date: Tuesday, April 22, 2008, 2:12 PM
Hate to pick at this one again, but have heard three different times today the rumor again the Bristol is pregnant or had this baby. Even at Trig’s doc appt this morning his doc said that’s out there (hopefully NOT in their medical community-world, but it’s out there). Bristol called again this afternoon asking if there’s anything we can do to stop this, as she received two girlfriend-type calls today asking if it were true. Sent from my BlackBerry® device from Cellular One —–Original Message —–
2. Then there is an e-mail of March 12, 2008 when Palin says:
Unknown
From: gov.sarah@yahoo.com
Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2008 2:33 PM
To: K Perry Yahoo; Leighow; Sharon W (GOV)
Subject: Re: Bob Lester
Don’t want to take this too far. Kinda wish I hadnt had to tell anyone, but crazy to think it could have been hidden long. No- no Egan, and I’m not going to assume this will be as smooth and easy as the other kids’ births, so can’t imagine inviting in a rock radio microphone.
He also asked again about the live audio recording of the birth and what you thought. A private moment?
At page 191 of Going Rogue, Palin says:
“Before we knew it, I was seven months along. I hadn’t put on a lot of weight and with winter clothes and a few cleverly draped scarves, no one saw my girth or suspected I was pregnant.”
The e-mail was March 12th when she said it was crazy to think she could hide the pregnancy and this picture was taken two days later,on March 14th.
It is also interesting that she admits in March that she isn’t assuming that this birth will be “as smooth and easy as the other kids’ births” and yet she still embarked upon the incredible journey on two plane flights from Texas to Alaska, for over 10 hours, after her water had broken, and she knew she was in labor. Unbelievable!

Never going to go away.
Sarah is stuck with Babygate forever.
She is a liar, liar, pants on fire.
Amazing, no birth certificate, no doctor claiming to have delivered Trig. But she has a photo of the baby exiting her vagina taken by Bristol in the delivery room. LOL.

Especially given that at other times she claims the Brisket wasn’t there. Well, let’s get that story straight again can we?

$arah WANTS the Babygate rumours to keep going on. $he has had more than enough time to put an end to it all.
Maybe she figures, if she puts Babygate to rest, no matter the results, she’ll be no longer wanted by any media.
Of course, if she is guilty of pulling off this hoax ( and I think she is) she would be laughed of even Fux News!
If she really did give birth (which I will never believe without solid proof) then she won’t have any mean lamestream Liberals picking on her and her “precious Baby Tri-G” anymore.
I hope, really, really hope, one of her kids or Toad finally gets mad enough to get even by way of releasing the B.C.
After all, $arah helped keep the Birther issue alive, even AFTER President Obama released his long form version.
Eventually, the truth will out.
$arah has too many enemies of her own making now. No matter how much money she has cannot keep them all quite for too much longer. All she has to do is to piss off the right person…

Dis Gusted
Wut???? She wrote a letter from God long before TriG was born. It said, “I let Trig’s mom have an exceptionally comfortable pregnancy”
at the same time, she didn’t expect delivery to be smooth? Probably because she had to work out details on how to pick up a baby without anyone being suspicious.

The woman does not look pregnant march 14, 08. I dont know why she thinks she must lie? but, she sure likes to create choas and whines when questioned. She seems to be the kind of person who just cant tell the truth. Ever.

I really wish this didn’t matter, but it goes to the very heart of the Palin fairy tales. Anyone seeing those photos has to know Sarah did not give birth in 2008. I can only hope that the media will pick up on this at alst and put an end to Sarah’s ‘commentating’ anywhere, let alone her barely veiled dreams of running for POTUS this fall.

Thanks for staying on top of things Malia. Those emails are quite telling. I did see that CBJ has a page on FB, but who knows if it was one she really made. I think she must be in it up to her neck so she has to remian silent or pay some serious consequences. I’m sure the P bots are praying hard against you. I came from a fundie background and I know how they think and work. To them, you are a tool of the devil, attacking their poor angelic queen. I’m always amazed that with the plethora of evidence of this fraud, that they are so deluded they refuse to see the truth that is stainding right before them.

I wonder if the p-bots might be using their fantasy version of Sarah’s life as a means of escaping from the reality of their own lives. Especially the fundie ones. This thought came to me while reading a post from yesterday at thepalinplace. Alison posted about Sarah, as someone who may have suffered abuse as a child, lying about the circumstances of her life, as a way to escape the reality of what her life truly was.
Could this be the palinbots problem, also? They don’t see the truth because they do not want to see the truth.
I cannot imaging trying to live this way. I require reality.

This to me is another smoking gun. Sarah had a forensic analysis done of the Gusty picture above:

that’s a great find….seems highly suspicious that she’s requesting forensics on this image MONTHS after it was supposedly taken.
February 26, 2012 at 10:46 am
malialitman
Fairfax,
I just think it was her way of raising a question, instead of simply doing what she knew would dispel the rumor…like having a doctor or nurse give a statement about seeing the birth.
February 25, 2012 at 1:57 pm

Is there anything you could do to stop the rumors? How about doing nothing (which Sarah actually did). Her daughter is begging her, yet Sarah Palin does nothing. A press release with a copy of the birth certificate and hospital/doctor bills (all readily available) indicating Sarah Palin as the biological mother would have quickly squelched everything. Yet Sarah Palin did nothing.
But, months later, she trotted her pregnant daughter and “fiance” across the national stage. See, Bristol wasn’t pregnant before, she’s pregnant now!!! (of course, she didn’t release any actual proof).
What a grizzly mama!

I am beginning to get the feeling that there is almost a moment in Sarah’s timeline when everything started to go a little crazy, and everything since then has just been part of the long slide downhill. In lots of the early emails, and official business stuff, to me, Sarah doesn’t seem that “off-kilter”, i.e. acting petty, paranoid, and vindictive.
But at some point, something seems to go wrong, and she starts to become the Sarah we recognize today. I would wonder if that could have happened early in Trig’s prenatal development. I could be wrong.
February 26, 2012 at 10:39 am

Cracklin Charlie,
I agree with you. I think she was always very limited, but if she thought she could pull off the “Trig” story, which of course, she wasn’t the VP candidate yet, and by the time McCain tapped her, it was too late to change that story, she may have simply found herself over her head.
February 25, 2012 at 5:36 pm

Palin loves to put the blame on others for wasting state money but SHE is the one who could have stopped it.
As we can see from these new emails she spent a LOT of time dealing with the Trig birth issue. She could have ended it all in a few minutes with definitive evidence that she gave birth to Trig.
What could be easier?
Then again, she didn’t really give birth to Trig. Hence, all the Palin directed blowback.
February 25, 2012 at 2:45 pm
lilylake
Malia – your last paragraph; I was thinking the same thing as I read your post.
BINGO! Another nail in the coffin. If she assumed it would not be easy like the others, then she why did she go to Dallas? Why did she take no precautions? Why didn’t she seem to care? Why so many “last minute” things, like NO SECURITY.
My daughter is allowed to fly up to 7 months this Spring, with a normal pregnancy. ONLY IF she is doing fine and no dilation etc. Doctor will check her right before she gets on the plan for a TWO HOUR flight. We have taken out trip insurance in case we have to cancel our flight.
ENUF SAID….it’s just Common Sense!
February 25, 2012 at 4:11 pm

lilylake,
Common sense would tell any woman, pregnant with her 5th not to get on any plane after her 7th month, as the length of labor would predictably be quick!

Come out come out whoever you are. the biological mother of Trig is yet to be identified.
Certainly isn’t Sarah Palin.

I wonder if all Bristol’s potential friends and lovers have to sign nondisclosure agreements. It must be really lonely to have to keep so many dark secrets so close to her chest. Who can she trust? Will some bff get pissed and tell all? Living under the shadow of her mother’s lies forever….. counting on mommy dearest to provide shelter from the cold light of truth…. wondering if some day one of her kids will start to ask questions – “who’s My daddy?” It’s really awful when one has to lie to her child.
February 25, 2012 at 6:00 pm

Whoa, Nellie… Wouldn’t Trig’s doctor know for certain who gave birth to Trig? And he’s telling Sarah this rumor that’s out there? Either she is lying in the email, something is wrong in Wasilla.. which we’ve known for a long time.
February 26, 2012 at 10:44 am
malialitman
Enigma,
Her doctor was a woman, and you are right if Sarah waived her right to confidentiality, she could simply have her doctor dispel this rumor. If her doctor gave a statement to the press, the rumor would end.

I am so confused! Why would she have an analysis done of this photo? Are you certain this wasn’t an upload of someone else’s analysis? The odd thing is why Palin would take any time to be interested in things of this nature. She displays a lot of very immature behavior. Usually governors and presidents simply don’t care about such things and have no time to indulge in such petty behavior.
February 25, 2012 at 7:43 pm

Virginia Voter, that is an intriguing link. What is the evidence that Palin paid for that analysis? And what does it mean? That her head was photoshopped on someone else’s body?

The Gusty photo analysis was from a blog site that ran that.
February 25, 2012 at 9:51 pm
Allison - The Palin Place Blogspot
I think the smoking gun is that Levi edited her State of the State ten days after he was kicked out of the house. The whole 12 pages were redacted, but the online text of the speech when pasted into a Word doc still comes out to 12 pages – making an argument that Levi did indeed get emailed Sarah’s speech. In it she refers to “witnessing” that special needs children are a blessing…

You can bet that if there is such an e-mail it will never be produced.

Whenever I read anything that says “if only Palin would release a birth certificate and prove she is the mother of Trig…”, I always feel a need to mention my own circumstances of my personally amended birth certificate which lists only my adoptive parents. Most people don’t realize that the original one that actually names the biological mother at time of birth is sealed/was sealed by court order at the time of the adoption. So you can LOOK at my birth certificate, but it only lists my adoptive parents.
And, having adopted our newborn so many years later, I can tell you that HER birth certificate is the same: following the adoption, it ONLY reveals the names of my husband and me as her parents.
I’ll say it again:
The original birth certificate at the actual time of birth that names the actual biological mom is later sealed by the judge after the adoption to protect the anonymity of the birth mother. It can ONLY be opened with a court order from a judge years later, perhaps, if ever at all, thus sealing and protecting her anonymity as the biological mom.
If Palin ever decides to present for public viewing any birth certificate on Trig, I will NOT be convinced that it is the original one; it could be an amended one, as are these that are of my experience.

“by the clever use of scarves” This women, and I hate to use that term because, (she is such a sad excuse for Mother or wife.)
Really believes herself to be exceptionaly intelligent, smart and very clever.
Pictures of her as Gov. show otherwise. Her clothes are wrinkled,do not fit and give the appearence of being bought at Walmart. Which by the way ..are! I never knew scarves could cover an expanding stomach. Did you? I’m thinking of all the money and time I could have saved by just buying a few scarves.
February 26, 2012 at 9:56 am

his doc said that’s out there (hopefully NOT in their medical community-world, but it’s out there).
Of course it’sd out in the medical community world Sarah!! Every doctor and nurse in Alaska and the rest of the world knows that a family practice physician with CBJs recent experience would not be a high risk pregnancy attending doctor, LET ALONE induce a high risk pregnancy in a hospital without a NICU. The entire medical community is /was asking a giant “WTF”??
