The trooper never was fired. She complained to the commissioner in charge of the State troopers. Later on she fired the Commissioner and replaced him. She says she did so for other reasons. The problem with the whole investigation is that the Commissioner's position is a political appointment. By that I mean the Governor as every right to replace the commissioner without any cause. It's like Obama or McCain becoming president and replacing the Secretary of Defence or the Press Secretary. More often than not they get replaced by someone you personally trust.
Even your hand picked replacements are there at your pleasure. If you lose confidence in them you replace them; No questions asked.
The reason why this became an issue was because Palin vetoed over 300 bills this legislator placed on her desk. You don't do that in a little over a couple years without annoying plenty of people. Much like the American Congress the legislator can hold hearings on pretty much anything they chose. They chose to go after Palin. The testimony becomes part of the public record and could be used in a court of law if any laws were broken. There wasn't any laws broken.
