Frank Bailey, a former aide to Sarah Palin, is under investigation in Alaska for writing a book critical of Palin using thousands of e-mails from her 2006 gubernatorial campaign, her run for vice president in 2008 and her brief tenure as governor.
The Alaska attorney general is investigating Bailey’s use of the emails under laws that prohibit former public officials from using information acquired during their work for personal gain if the information is not public. Bailey’s attorney said Bailey took time to insure that the writing met legal requirements and even showed the attorney general an advance copy of the book and removed items at his request. -db
