1. The Siegelman Ordeal and Its Impact On a
Family
by Roger Shuler of Legal Schnauzer
....[Dana Siegelman] All four years in college, no one knew
anything about my dad's case. In fact, my friends only knew him
to be a lawyer. It was not until he was actually sentenced and
taken away abruptly in handcuffs and shackles that I reached
out to everyone I knew for help.
I don't know anyone who could have handled that experience
with as much confidence, positiveness, and grace (as my dad
did). It was a testimony to his character and we have learned
from it. In fact, if it were not for Dad going to prison, I don't know
if the government or the American people would have paid
nearly as much attention to other politically motivated cases.

2. Legal experts raise questions about Rove
testimony deal
By Larisa Alexandrovna and Muriel Kane for Raw Story
....The Four Pages
Perhaps the most mysterious clause in the agreement is a reference
to four pages of material which Congress will not be allowed to see
but will only have described to them: “With the exception of 4 pages of
particularly sensitive privileged material (which will be described for
Committee staff by a representative of the former President),
Committee staff (majority and minority) will be allowed to review the
documents for the period December 2004 through March 8, 2007.”
The House Judiciary Committee refused to comment or elaborate on
this question.
However, Scott Horton, a Columbia Law School professor and
contributor to Harper’s Magazine, believes the “4 pages” may relate to
briefings of the former president on either the US Attorney firings or
the Siegelman prosecution.
