1. Siegelman's a man on a mission in Denver
by Tom Baxter of Southern Political Report
....The House Judiciary Committee last month passed a contempt
citation against Rove after he failed to appear at a congressional
hearing investigating his involvement in Siegelman’s prosecution on
corruption charges. To have any effect, that motion must be approved
by a Congressional vote.
“The danger is when that Congress reconvenes, they will be anxious
to leave and go back home and campaign,” Siegelman said
Wednesday.
“My guess is they’re going to adjourn in September. If they don’t vote
then, the Democrats, as magninamous as they have been in the past,
will put this issue aside, will say let bygones be bygones. Lets get on
with this agenda to heal the wounds of this past administration. And
Karl Rove will be given his getaway pass, thumbing his nose at our
Constitution, Congress and the American people,” he said.
Siegelman, who was sentenced to seven years in the case, was
released from prison on bond in March by the 11th Circuit Court of
Appeals, which found “substantial questions” about the way his
prosecution was handled.
Siegelman has insisted that Rove urged on his prosecution as part of
a pattern of “using the Department of Justice as a political weapon to
strike out at those people he considered to be enemies of this
administration”
