On Friday, an ethics committee in Alaska found that Sarah Palin abused her power as governor when she fired the state's public safety commissioner.
The report found that a family grudge was not the only reason Palin fired Walter Monegan, but that it was probably a factor.
Palin had been accused of firing Monegan to settle a family dispute.
Monegan claims he was dismissed for not firing a state trooper who had gone through a messy divorce with Palin's sister.
The McCain-Palin camp says Monegan was fired over budget and policy issues.
Palin refused to cooperate in the 10-week-old investigation after publicly saying she would.
The committee does not recommend any sanctions or criminal investigation.
