It's official: Palin abused power of her office according to the findings.

I was waiting on the full report to be released before posting. A more full discussion of the report will be posted tomorrow once I go through all of the report.

TrooperGate report is out. Findings: Gov. Sarah Palin abused the power of her office.

The report by investigator Steve Branchflower found that Palin violated the state's executive branch ethics act, which says that "each public officer holds office as a public trust, and any effort to benefit a personal or financial interest through official action is a violation of that trust."

The full report is here (pdf.) The vote to release it was unanimous.

Update: The legislative council voted 12-0 to release the Trooper-Gate report, according to the Anchorage Daily News.
