1. Revealed: Rahm Emanuel Nixed DOJ
Review of Political Prosecutions of Don
Siegelman and Paul Minor
by Brendan DeMelle for Huffington Post
Paul Minor, the former Mississippi attorney turned political prisoner, is
set to file a petition to the U.S. Supreme Court to address the central
issue in his case - whether a U.S. citizen can be convicted and
imprisoned for donating to a political campaign without the court
requiring any evidence of an explicit quid pro quo agreement between
the candidate running for elected office and the campaign contributor.
This may be the most important case of the 21st century. If the court
decides against Paul Minor, then every U.S. citizen - even
corporations, despite the inherent fallacy of corporate personhood -
could be convicted for bribery and thrown in jail simply for donating to
a political campaign.

2. Boss Rahm decides who is a worthy
Democrat
by Wayne Masden for Online Journal
WMR has learned from sources close to ousted White House chief
counsel Greg Craig that it was not President Obama’s top legal
adviser who balked at ordering the Justice Department to review the
politically-motivated criminal cases brought by the Bush administration
against three top Democrats in the South, but it was White House
Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel who made the decision to nix any White
House backing for new trials for the southern Democratic officials
involved -- former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman, former Georgia
state Senate leader Charles Walker, and Mississippi attorney Paul
Minor.
