Long before she made the announcement that she will resign as Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin was plagued by scandals. For months rumors of a criminal investigation against the Alaska Governor Sarah Palin have been brewing, and the announcement of her planned resignation have just added fuel to the fire.
One theory for the resignation is that she needs money, and she can't accept $50,000 per appearance speaking fees or other lucrative offers while she is in office She would also probably not be able to accept the hundreds of thousands of dollars (or more) that she will be paid for "writing" a book that is scheduled to be released next spring.
Another theory is that she will soon be indicted by the feds for embezzlement. She may be facing a federal indictment for embezzlement, according to Huffington Post blogger Shannyn Moore.
