The following e-mail has been sent today to my contact at Homeland Security regarding the statement of David Chaney regarding any encounter he may have had with Shailey Tripp, as a result of Todd Palin hooking them up.

Re: FOIA Appeal 2012-A13 Please Avoid Attorney’s Fees and Produce the Documents Requested
Dear Ms. Teal,
I haven’t heard back from you since your response of 10-9-12 when you reported that my “case continues to be under review.” Three and 1/2 months later, I have still received not one word from you or anyone with Homeland Security regarding my simple request for documents. I have been waiting since June of 2012 for these documents, and Homeland Security has failed to cite a single reason for the delay, or ignoring my request. I am very anxious to receive these documents, as every day that passes by, more and more people give SarahPAC more and more money, so that Todd Palin may continue to endorse political candidates. If the statement of David Chaney confirms the allegations of Shailey Tripp, that Todd Palin was in fact her pimp, then retired and unemployed people giving of their limited funds need to know to whom they are giving their money.
I would refer you to my post today documenting the continuing donations being made daily to the SarahPAC.

If you continue to refuse to respond to this request, you leave me with no choice except to file suit. I understand that I may be entitled to recover my attorneys fees in the event I prevail, and it appears undisputed that I will prevail. Thus, I implore you to produce these documents now, and avoid unnecessary and costly attorneys fees. In the absence of a response, you leave me no alternative but to file suit. I expect that this suit may result in thousands of dollars in attorney’s fees that could easily be avoided. Please, please, please produce the documents requested.
Malia Litman

I kinda think you’re going to have to file suit. I think they’re hoping you’ll get tired and just walk away from it. Thank you for not letting this go.

NJfan,
I think they think the same thing! All I can say is they don’t know me!

Malia -
Way to go. I have to wonder if they really want the publicity that would get out about a lawsuit.

Bravo to you! You and Hillary Clinton are my kind of women….brave, strong, educated and willing to do what it takes to get the job done.

Thank you, we will see! I don’t have the documents yet!

Excellent, Malia. Someone needs to hold these agencies’ feet to the fire and make them produce the desired information. You are perhaps uniquely in a position to do so. We all thank you, save for a tiny group of people in Wasilla, Alaska.

I can’t guarantee anything, other than I won’t give up without a fight!

Seether – No Resolution…Sarah keeps bothering the Kid…and we are en route…Sarah I would not mess with the Kid…your tactics are backfiring…
And Malia will prove you and Todd are deeper in “domestic-terrorism” then anyone knows…but I know what you did and where the money is…BAM…
This pimping ordeal is little fish compared to what I got on these peoples…

A bit O/T.
Malia:
This is an excerpt of a posting from C4P yesterday afternoon…actionable?
One of the C4Pers had announced yesterday that Sarah Palin’s attorney, Tim Crawford was addressing his college class today. He reported back and this was in his comments:
” didn’t ask about SarahPAC, although I will say that, after meeting him, it doesn’t surprise me that he would ask for money on the pretense that Palin is running (or leaning towards running) when he likely was pretty aware that she wasn’t. And it wouldn’t surprise me if he didn’t give a damn what I thought about it. He’s highly intelligent, albeit a crusty fellow who doesn’t seem to give two bits what anyone thinks of him. Definitely interesting to talk to, I could sort of see him having a spirited debate with Palin about some random elecoral politics subject (although they honestly seem to agree on the main issues).
I’ve said too much, already, but his talk was fairly straight-forward otherwise, nothing really mind-shattering. He only talked about Palin when I asked about her, and I honestly believe he thought of me as some kind of nut for my curiosity. He doesn’t seem aware of the great mystery surrounding exactly what the next four years holds for her with people like me. This was such an exciting meeting, and the funny thing is that no one else in the room seemed to give a damn about who they were talking to. I was hanging on his every word with my jaw hanging which might have made him uncomfortable (I suspect he was looking at me and thinking “oh, one of THOSE people”), but its not every day you meet an advisor to someone who very well could have been the first female VP. But, yeah, I’ve already said too much, lol.”

Aurora,
It is my impression that Tim Crawford is the treasurer for SaraPAC, and so I assumed he was an accountant, and not an attorney. I don’t practice law any more, so I don’t want to give any legal advice, but I’d be surprised if there was a claim.

So…she can run the scam, as publicly stated by this guy, and not come under any election fraud statutes? sheesh!
January 23, 2013 at 10:42 pm
malialitman
Aurora,
I am not saying absolutely not, but from what I can tell, the “fraud” statutes involved are pretty liberal, and given what I’ve seen so far it seems that judges in Alaska aren’t very quick to strictly apply the law to Sarah Palin.
January 23, 2013 at 7:46 pm

ps…thanks for answering in such a timely manner!

Malia, thanks for not giving up on this. It’s quite curious that there is no response whatsoever to your request. They have not even claimed that you are not entitled to the documents, or any other claim. They are simply stonewalling your inquiry. I agree with other posters, they are hoping you will give up and go away. I so admire your persistence and stick-to-it-tiveness! You are a blogging treasure.
January 23, 2013 at 10:46 pm
malialitman
2leftfeet,
I like that description…a blogging treasure. I agree they think I’ll just go away, but I won’t. They think I won’t fork over the money for attorneys fees, even if I can get reimbursed later, it is a lot of money on the line, and think I’ll be deterred. They are WRONG!

SarahPac should be investigated, since she holds no office nor is likely to run for an office. Can any citizen start a Pac, beg people for money, then spend it on personal items? Why can not somebody get this information under the Freedom of Information act? The prostitution ring also, too!!
January 23, 2013 at 10:44 pm
malialitman
Scarsdale,
Anyone can start a PAC and there is no requirement that the person starting it be running for office. The rules have been very liberally interpreted to allow broad discretion regarding the spending.

Thanks! I may need a lot of support when a law suit has to be filed!

Wow, you told Ms. Teal, Malia. That’s just awesome.
Good luck. I hope those documents get released, we all have the right to know.
There has to be something to hide with all this foot dragging going on.
Onward.

whisperingstar,
I think so too! If David Chaney had denied the encounter and the meeting with Todd why wouldn’t they produce them?
