Scott Richter divorce file shows NOTHING to suggest an affair but the National Enquirer has now named Brad Hanson as the secret love of Sarah Palin.  The Enquirer story is after the jump.    You can read more about Hanson here:  Brad Hanson New Character onon “As the Palins Turn”

The  98-page divorce file shows that the Palins are only mentioned in Richter’s motion to seal the records.  (Also, see a copy of the motion after the jump.)

According to the motion, Richter wanted the documents deemed confidential to keep reporters/media/press from obtaining details about his address, workplace, and phone numbers because “reporters and news agencies” were using that information to contact him. 

Richter, a 39-year-old contractor, noted that he is “friends and land owners in a remote cabin” with the Palins and, as a result, journalists were intruding on the “cabin life and private life” of him and his 11-year-old son. The petition to dissolve the marriage was filed jointly last July by Richter and his ex-wife, who were not represented by lawyers. A judge granted the dissolution less than two months after the couple filed to end their marriage.

Debbie Richter says that it wasn’t her ex that had an affair with VP Barbie, Sarah Palin. The ex-wife of a man some have suggested may have had an affair with Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin says it’s “absolutely, completely false” that her ex had an affair with Ms. Sarah.

What's the Difference? Close Enough

“I can tell you this with 1,000 percent certainty, Sarah Palin never had an affair,” said Debbie Richter when reached on Friday afternoon.

The rumor that her now ex-husband, Scott Richter, had an affair with Sarah Palin gained momentum after the National Enquirer reported she had been romantically involved with one of Todd Palin’s former business associates.

The John McCain-Sarah Palin campaign threatened to sue over the story.

The National Enquirer has at least hinted that Palin had an affair with a former business associate of Todd Palin.

It would be easy to dismiss as pure tabloid trash, but this next piece of information makes the latest Palin scandal at least a little intriguing.As we posted yesterday, Debbie’s ex filed an emergency motion on Wed. to have their divorce records sealed. 

“As soon as he realized that there was going to be a barrage of media inquiries, he went to the court house in his little town and requested that our divorce information be sealed,” she told Us.

“The reason he did that is he just doesn’t want his financial information hanging around out there in the wind,” she said. “It caused some speculation that he had something to hide and he doesn’t really have anything to hide except that he’s just a private person.”

When asked how she would describe Palin, Debbie responded by saying she is “driven, committed to public service, determined and not easily swayed from her goal.”

“If she wants something her way and she has an opinion about it, that’s the way it’s going to be for her,” Debbie added.

The Palins and Richters own property on Safari Lake together, according to Matanuska-Susitna Borough property records that we linked to in earlier posts.

Meanwhile, other sources are saying that Palmer High School Hockey Coach and Hockey Mom Lover Brad Hanson is the man who the National Enquirer is going to break as Sarah’s “secret affair” partner.   You can see his photo and infor in our posts from late yesterday evening.

Quote from http://www.washingtonindependent.com/3671/the-reform-candidate#comment-1994895:

I am a resident of Wasilla, Alaska. I have known Sarah since 1992. Everyone here knows Sarah, so it is nothing special to say we are on a first-name basis. Our children have attended the same schools. Her father was my child’s favorite substitute teacher. I also am on a first name basis with her parents and mother-in-law. I attended more City Council meetings during her administration than about 99% of the residents of the city.

Scott Richter divorce file shows NOTHING to suggest an affair.   See our updated posts today.

SCOTT RICHTER’S MOTION TO MAKE DIVORCE FILE CONFIDENTIAL – DENIED

Oh, what could be in Todd Palin’s former business partner’s divorce file that is so important all of a sudden?  Calling Sarah Palin  Calling Sarah Palin The National Enquirer is on the line for you.  John Edwards says, “Don’t take the call.”

Question:  Is Scott Richter concerned about the information getting out to the public or did Scott Richter sell his exclusive story to The National Enquirer and part of the deal was that he’d have to get the records sealed? 

On the other hand, Karl Rove is lurking in the background.  Could it all be a wild goose chase that will turn up nothing?   Imagine the spin . . . now Obama and the liberal media/blogs are harassing this poor guy just because he had a friendship with the Palins . . . The plot thickens . . .

Now the Republican spinners are headed for Oprah. Oprah issues a statement. We have it.

Also, Todd Palin’s former business partner, Scott Richter, learned yesterday (September 4) that his emergency motion (filed 9/3/08) to seal his divorce records has been denied.

Is the amorous “business partner” Scott Richter?  Who knows but the Alaskans who seem to know all there is to know about each other’s lives.

Also, Todd Palin was technically not Sarah’s first or maybe I should say her only Dude. The press or a blog mentioned a former boyfriend of hers by the name of Scott Richter. There could, I suppose, be another scandal brewing relative to him and his ex-wife, Debbie as well. It all depends how far back the liberals want to dig.

The Palins also have a number of real estate holdings in Big Lake, AK co-owned by Debbie and Scott Richter. The properties are organied as “Richter Investments LLC.” The Richters also own a portion of the Palins residence in Wasila… (Assuming the Palins live rent free right now in the Governors’ Mansion in Juneau).

Interestingly, Debbie Richter was Palin’s campaign treasurer. Richter was awarded a job as the Director of the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend Division for her service. For those who don’t know, the State of Alaska gives its citizens “free money” checks every year out of this fund. This “free money” comes from oil royalties collected and investments. The Fund is currently worth $35 billion.

Would you choose the Governor’s campaign treasurer – and property co-owner – to honestly hand out oil royalties? Under her leadership in 2006, all Permanent Fund claims from residents (you have to make a claim for your check) were lost in a computer data entry failure…
