Monegan’s “Ominous Feeling” After Meeting With Todd

Walt Monegan told Steve Branchflower about what he was thinking directly after a meeting with Todd Palin, in which the “First Gentleman” had given him a stack of files about Mike Wooten’s record, and had asked Monegan to look into whether Wooten had been appropriately disciplined:

Well, on the drive back as i was reflecting on the meeting — drive back to the office, I was thinking that in essence they certainly didn’t like the idea that Wooten was still employed. And they wanted severe discipline, probably termination, and that — and if this was going to build, I had this kind of ominous feeling that I may not be long for this job if I — if I didn’t somehow respond accordingly.
