1. Results Of DOJ Probe Into Siegelman
Prosecution To Be Released In 'Near Future'
By Justin Elliott - TPMMuckraker

....Emails provided by the whistle-blower suggested that U.S. Attorney
Leura Canary -- whose husband was a top GOP operative and Karl
Rove associate -- continued to be involved in the case after recusing
herself. Other emails suggested inappropriate contact between jurors
and the prosecution, including expressions of romantic interest by
jurors in an FBI agent on the prosecution team.

In an interview with TPMmuckraker last month, an outraged Siegelman
called it "astounding" that the alleged impropriety involving the jury
had not been revealed to the judge and the defense. There has long
been evidence that Siegelman's prosecution on corruption charges
was politically motivated.
