I guess after the courts ruled against quashing the subpoenas in the Troopergate probe, nobody wanted to wind up in jail.

Alaska Attorney General Talis Colberg announced today that seven state employees will now honor subpoenas to testify in the legislative investigation of the Troopergate affair.

Colberg said the decision comes in light of a judge's ruling last week rejecting an attempt to quash the subpoenas.

All seven employees have decided, in light of Superior Court Judge Peter Michalski's decision, to cooperate with the legislative investigation, according to a statement today from Colberg's office.

And that's not all - Todd Palin's going to talk as well. But not until after the Branchflower investigation gets released next week, of course, and only to the parallel Personnel Board investigation that his wife controls.

Maybe they've just all signed off on the same story and got them straight. Or they were scared. Or just maybe, they can't stand the McCain campaign and have decided to go out on their own.
