Bailey joined Palin’s 2006 campaign for governor and was one of her closest aides while she was in office, but Bailey has since teamed up with Ken Morris, a former Wall Street executive and Jeanne Devon, who publishes the anti-Palin website Mudflats to create what’s been dubbed a chilling expose on the former Governor.
In BLIND ALLEGIANCE TO SARAH PALIN: A Memoir of our Tumultuous Years, it’s being reported that Bailey explores such key events as Palin’s gubernatorial victory, Troopergate, illegal coordination with the Republican Governor’s Association, never-before-revealed scandals such as a judicial appointment as payoff for a favorable child custody ruling for Palin’s sister, the vice presidential campaign and the bizarre vetting process, and Palin’s resignation.
Bailey wrote that the book was put together with the help of more than 60,000 emails he sent or received while working for Palin, however, longtime Palin critic, Andree McLeod charges that Bailey shouldn’t have shared emails with his co-authors that are not available to the general public. She also maintains Bailey broke Alaska’s executive branch ethics act. It says former public officials aren’t allowed to use information acquired in the course of their work for personal gain if the information hasn’t been publicly disseminated.
McLeod charges that she has emailed the attorney general repeatedly in recent months asking what’s being done.
Bailey did not respond to the Anchorage Daily News on Monday. But he told The Associated Press in September that his procedures in preparing his book were lawful.
Bailey’s book is due to be released May 24.
