Palin took office in December 2006 and appointed Monegan, who’d just retired as Anchorage police chief after five years, to be public safety commissioner, a cabinet position.

via ABC News:
Monegan says that he also met with Todd Palin in the governor’s office in January 2007 and claims, “He showed me … private investigator reports, letters, correspondence” that raised issues suggesting Wooten should be punished.
… “They were already done deals and he had already been punished,” says Monegan, who adds that the governor called him late at night on his cellphone a few days after his meeting with Todd Palin.
“There was no new evidence, and I called [Todd Palin] back and told him it was a closed case,” Monegan says. “He wasn’t happy to hear that. I got a subsequent phone call from the governor about it, and she wasn’t happy, either.”
